Hmm.... I wonder who actually has made more money?
It would seem Jessica at first, because she was so big at a point in time. However, that was VERY VERY short lived. Also, I doubt whether she made that much money from Newlyweds itself (which was her most 'successful' project).
Mandy has been ticking along nicely and working consistently for almost a decade... so I actually wouldn't be surprised if she made a lot more. Those movies pay well. Plus, she had a heap of advertising campaigns early on in her career which Jessica never had.

Jessica may be in a down period now, but at least she was huge once.

Career in music, Jessica. Career in film, Mandy. I actually consider Mandy to be an actress now before a singer.
But since they both started in music, I'm going with Jess.

I like Mandy Moore more but she's obviously the loser in this poll, no doubt.

This is a tough one.
Mandy Moore..Has had success in both Movies and TV.
Jessica Simpson..A clothing line that is a major success.
I would say they are both equal.

Jessica, it's not close at all. Neither had a lasting music career, but Jessica is far wealthier due to her business ventures.

I think you could make a case for either. If we're talking about net worth, it's Jessica Simpson. She's built a lucrative brand outside of the industry.
But I think this question was more focused on a respectable career within the industry. And that's clearly Mandy.

This poll was started 15 years ago in 08. However I voted Jessica Simpson. It didn’t say music/television so I threw in Jessica’s bag shoe line. I’m not sure if it was even big then?

I can't believe we're discussing this in 2023. But: Mandy Moore. At least, if I had to choose between the two careers, I would pick Mandy's. She was Rapunzel, okay!

I was going to vote for Mandy in this poll, but it wouldn't let me. Then I went to page 1 and realized I already voted/commented in favor of Mandy back in 2008. I'm glad my opinion stayed consistent, lol. I'll give Jessica credit for her large fashion empire, though.

Jessica had bigger hits than Mandy on the Hot 100, so at least when it comes to music...Jessica!

I think Jessica has made more money due to her fashion line but her music career and anything in which she is seen front and center as a major celebrity brand be it music, acting, or major endorsement deals seems to have come and gone.
Mandy Moore has less net-worth, but she has been steadily plugging away at becoming a respected actress for quite some time, and probably has the film career Jessica would have wanted for herself (or really any of the pop quartet who released music in 99'). As such I think Mandy's career holistically seems a bit more impressive than Jessica's.
Moore's Emmy nomination for Lead Actress and her stint on This Is Us probably equates to an equivalent value of Jessica's In This Skin/Newlyweds era. Mandy has the prestige and Jessica has the commercial value.

The question is best career, so Mandy without a doubt. She's an Emmy and Golden Globe nominated actress (and SAG Award winner), who has sold over 8 million albums, a few Hot 100 hits, and starred in one of the most remembered movie and tv show of the last half century.

I actually know who Jessica Simpson is, so her. I’ve heard Mandy Moore’s name, but I don’t know a single song, movie or even her face. Didn’t Jessica also have a successful book recently? Jessica created her own shoe business that was worth $1B at one point. So that alone makes her 100x more successful than Mandy, whose biggest claim to fame is being a salaried employee of NBC as a castmember on a hit TV show.
