Since its debut in 2008, the MCU has grossed an impressive $31.167 billion from 34 films, not counting TV series revenue, merchandise, and other sales. This massive success has allowed actors to earn big salaries, and that’s what we’re focusing on in this article.
Scarlett Johansson, who played Black Widow in multiple MCU films, was once the highest-paid actress in the franchise with her lucrative contracts. However, despite her enormous earnings, she isn’t actually the richest MCU actress—can you guess who is? Keep reading to find out!
Since actors’ contracts with studios are usually not made public, it’s hard to know the exact numbers, especially since Scarlett Johansson’s role in the MCU changed over time. She started in a supporting role, but by the end, she had her own solo movie, where she was reportedly paid $20 million.
On top of that, her contracts for the Avengers films and bonuses significantly increased her earnings. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Scarlett Johansson’s total net worth is around $165 million, which is impressive and reflects her status as one of the highest-paid actresses of all time. However, despite this, she isn’t the wealthiest MCU actress.
Interestingly, there is another actress whose overall role in the MCU was smaller than Johansson’s, but whose net worth has reached an impressive $200 million, surpassing Scarlett Johansson’s total.
This actress is Gwyneth Paltrow, as confirmed by Celebrity Net Worth. While Paltrow is 12 years older and has appeared in more films, she is also a successful businesswoman, with much of her wealth coming from her various businesses.
Scarlett Johansson, who is an executive producer for the upcoming Thunderbolts* movie, could potentially increase her net worth if the film is successful, bringing her closer to Paltrow’s level. We’ll keep you updated!
