What Is Angelina Jolie’s Net Worth in 2024? The Star’s Financial Situation Explained

For the better part of three decades, Angelina Jolie has been one of the biggest names in Hollywood, thanks to starring roles in films like Girl, Interrupted, Mr. & Mrs. Smith and the Lara Croft: Tomb Raider franchise. (Not to mention her admirable humanitarian work and tumultuous romantic life.)

The Oscar-winning actress is now back on the big screen in her most ambitious performance yet. She's starring as world-renowned opera singer Maria Callas in the Pablo Larraín-directed bio-drama Maria, the third and final installment in the filmmaker’s trilogy on notable 20th-century women, after 2016’s Jackie and 2021’s Spencer.

Maria hit select theaters stateside on November 27 and Jolie’s performance—which reportedly saw the star train for seven months to sing opera—is being praised by critics for its defiance and vulnerability. The movie star will surely be in the awards conversation when the season gets swinging, so let’s take a look back at Angelina Jolie’s megawatt career, how she has become one of the industry’s highest paid actresses, and what her net worth in 2024 looks like.

How did Angelina Jolie get famous?

As the daughter of two actors—Jon Voight and Marcheline Betrand—Angelina Jolie was basically born into show business. (Her brother, James Haven, is also an actor.) Jolie had a bit part in her father’s 1982 film Lookin’ to Get Out when she was only seven, but it take a few years until the young Angelina would seriously seek out acting as a profession, enrolling at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute in Los Angeles.

Her breakout role was in the 1995 cult favorite Hackers, which saw Jolie memorably portray punkish computer hacker Kate "Acid Burn" Libby. (It was also where the actress would meet her first husband, Jonny Lee Miller.) Other well-received ‘90s roles include her turn as Cornelia Wallace in TNT’s George Wallace and as supermodel Gia Carangi in HBO's Gia, both of which earned Jolie Golden Globe wins. Her Academy Award-winning performance as Lisa in Girl, Interrupted later helped catapult Jolie to movie-star status going into the 2000s.

What is Angelina Jolie's net worth in 2024?

Angelina Jolie has an estimated net worth of $120 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. One of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood, Jolie has reportedly commanded up to $20 million for a single performance, such as her title role in the 2010 action flick Salt.

What did Angelina Jolie get paid for Eternals?

Though she routinely raked in big bucks for popular movies like Wanted ($15 million), The Tourist ($19 million) and Mr. & Mrs. Smith ($10 million), the actress’s heftiest paycheck came from Marvel. Jolie reportedly earned more than $35 million to play Thena in the 2021 Marvel Cinematic Universe film Eternals.

What did Angelina Jolie get paid for Maleficent?

To portray the title character in the 2014 fantasy film Maleficent, Jolie earned a whopping $33 million according to Time, which made her the highest-paid actress of 2013. She would reprise her role in the movie’s 2019 sequel, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil—it’s not known how much exactly the star earned for the sequel film, but it’s likely she received a similar paycheck and may have been granted backend points as well. Seeing as how that film grossed $491.7 million worldwide, we can expect the returns to be considerable.

What did Angelina Jolie get paid for Maria?

While Jolie's salary for Maria is unknown, it's likely that she accepted the role for far less than she earned on films like Maleficent or Eternals. While Netflix purchased Maria, it was produced independently, meaning that Jolie probably didn't see much cash on the front end. Actors often take more prestigious roles for smaller paychecks to help their careers.

What did Angelina Jolie get paid for Lara Croft: Tomb Raider?

Since Jolie starred in the Tomb Raider films earlier in her career, her paydays were a bit smaller. She reportedly earned $7 million for Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and $12 million for the sequel Lara Croft: Tomb Raider - The Cradle of Life.

How much does Angelina Jolie get paid per movie?

While Jolie's salary fluctuates depending on the project, she can clearly ask for paychecks into the seven-figure range if she's starring in big studio films. Something in the $10-15 million range seems to be her average payday.
