Anna Kendrick Net Worth
Contrary to popular belief, there are many films and TV shows that don’t actually pay that well. Most projects only pay the top 2 or 3 actors the vast sums of money that we associate with Hollywood. This means that despite Anna’s vast talent and dedication, she had a relatively low estimated net worth of just $1 million dollars. Far from the realms that we would expect.
The major bulk of her net worth comes from only two franchises, Twilight and Pitch Perfect. And this is where everything changes.
The Twilight Saga was of course a huge hit and a massive money maker for all those involved. Across the 5 films it earned a whopping $3.346 billion in box office revenues worldwide. Kendrick is reported to have earned $20 million from this series alone!
Pitch Perfect was another big success grossing $588.3 million across the 3 films. It is estimated that Kendrick earned about $12 million from these popular family films.
After the success of these 2 franchises, Anna is likely to have seen an increase in her earnings from all roles. However, bearing in mind that she lives in California with some of the highest taxes in the country, we calculate that she could have paid as much as $20 million in taxes throughout her career!
All in all we suggest that Anna Kendrick’s net worth is around the $25 million mark. Which is none to shabby!
