Kristen Wiig’s net worth is a whopping $20 million! Who wouldn’t want to be a famous actress in Hollywood? I know I would be rushing my way to auditions. The future is near and unpredictable; however, by walking down a gallery of her past achievements, we can see how her career molded her present success.
2003- 2009
Kristen Wiig jumpstarted her acting career by moving to Los Angeles, performing with Empty Stage Comedy Theatre and with The Groundlings. She started with improv but then transitioned to acting. Shortly with her brief stint with The Groundlings, she submitted her audition tape to SNL. On November 2005, she debuted on Season 31 of SNL.

In 2010, she appeared in the films MacGruber, the animated comedies Despicable Me and Despicable Me 2, How to Train Your Dragon, How to Train Your Dragon 2, and Andrew Jarecki’s All Good Things. Wiig had her first lead role as Ruth Buggs in Greg Mottola’s comedy Paul in 2011. Later that year, she starred in the film Bridesmaids, which she co-wrote with fellow Groundlings performer Annie Mumolo. The film became both a critical and box office success, receiving two nominations for Best Picture-Musical or Comedy and Best Actress-Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy (Wiig, obviously) at the 69th Golden Globe Awards. The film also received two Academy Award nominations, including Best Original Screenplay, for which Wiig and Mumolo were nominated.
