Emerald Fennell is set to bring yet another movie to the big screen.
The director has adapted a new version of Wuthering Heights, which will hit theaters in February 2026.
While Fennell, 39, is now very well-known for her work behind the camera, she actually began her career on our screens.
But what is Fennell’s estimated fortune, and does she own any real estate? Here’s what we know.
What is Emerald Fennell’s net worth?
Well… we’re not entirely sure.
In 2021, it was estimated that Fennell had an estimated fortune of between $1 million and $5 million.
But since then, the screenwriter has earned box office success with her movie, Saltburn – so this figure may be higher.
What has Emerald Fennell earned as a director and screenwriter?
Although she started her career as an actor (more on that later), Fennell is now a well-known screenwriter and director.
She has earned two Primetime Emmy Award nominations for her work as the showrunner for season two of the BBC spy thriller series Killing Eve, and won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for her 2020 movie and feature film directorial debut Promising Young Woman.
Fennell also wrote the book for Andrew Lloyd Webber’s 2021 musical Cinderella, and directed her second film, the psychological thriller Saltburn, in 2023.
While we’re unsure exactly how much Fennell has earned as a director and screenwriter, we can take a guess-timate from how her movies have done in theaters.
With Saltburn grossing $21.02 million worldwide at the box office, and Promising Young Woman coming in at $18.9 million, we’re sure that Fennell took a hefty salary from the figures.
What has Emerald Fennell earned from her acting roles?
While Fennell now spends most of her time off screen, she first gained attention for her roles in period films, such as Albert Nobbs (2011), Anna Karenina (2012), and The Danish Girl (2015).
She became a household name in the UK in 2013, thanks to her role in the BBC One drama series Call the Midwife, which she starred in for four years.
Fans of the Netflix drama The Crown will recognize Fennell as Camilla Parker-Bowles, for which she received a Primetime Emmy Award nomination.
Unfortunately, we’re not sure how much Fennell earned from her acting roles.
Does Emerald Fennell own any real estate?
Again, it’s unknown whether Fennell owns any real estate.
But if she does, we can bet that it’s within London.
Back in 2023, Fennell admitted, “Home is West London. It’s where I grew up and will always be home.
“There’s a local man who’s been walking around for 30 years with a huge parrot on each shoulder and every time someone smiles jovially at him he rolls his eyes like, ‘Ugh don’t be so gauche as to acknowledge my parrots.’ I love him so much.”
