Charlize Theron’s Net Worth 2017: $110 Million
Charlize Theron’s net worth is a whopping $110 million. That is way more than Jon Jones’ (UFC fighter) net worth, which was $10 million. The amount of money she earns is definitely hard-earned, since she acts and performs on the big stage, starring in major films, tv shows, and acting as a voice actress in a video game. Regardless, I would trade the hard work and studiousness for the big cash.
Let’s check out how this beautiful actress earned recognition and value in the entertainment world, by examining her top works from the past and what she is doing in the present.
1995-2000
Theron jump-started her career by accepting a role in the television show, Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest, as Eli’s follower. She filled in as an uncredited follower of a cult in her first horror show. Theron followed this with appearances as a hitwoman in 2 Days in the Valley, a waitress in the romantic comedy Trial and Error (1997), and a woman suffering from schizophrenia in the mystery thriller The Devil’s Advocate (1997) with Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino. In addition, she appeared in the science fiction thriller The Astronaut’s Wife with Johnny Depp, and Lasse Hallström’s The Cider House Rules (both in 1999). In 2000, she starred as Gwen Sunday in Men of Honor.
2001-2008
The star-studded actress appeared in three films in just 2001 alone: Sweet November, 15 Minutes, and The Curse of the Jade Scorpion. For her portrayal of serial killer Aileen Wuornos in the crime drama Monster (2003), Theron received the Academy Award for Best Actress, the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama, and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role. After that, Theron played the eponymous rebel assassin in the science fiction action film Æon Flux and a miner fighting sexual harassment in the drama North Country (both in 2005). The latter role earned her a nomination for Best Actress at the Academy Awards and the BAFTAs. Three years later, Theron starred in the superhero film Hancock with Will Smith. The film grossed over $624 million at the worldwide box office.
2009-2015
The Road and Astro Boy are two selections that definitely stood out to me because I specifically saw the films. She definitely portrayed the characters in an engaging manner, showing her true capabilities to entertain the world with her acting knack. The following few years, Theron appeared in the action adventure film Snow White and the Huntsman (2011) and Ridley Scott’s science fiction film Prometheus (2012). Later on, in 2015, she played rebel soldier Imperator Furiosa in George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road.
2016-Present
In 2016, she presents her colorful character as Queen Ravenna in The Huntsman: Winter’s War. If that’s not exciting enough, the Fast and Furious franchise came back, and she took the role as Cipher. The film, The Fate of the Furious, released April 14, 2017. On July 28th, 2017, everyone will see the sexy and bad-a** character that she will be playing in the movie Atomic Blond.
