Julia Garner’s Early Life
Garner was born on February 1, 1994. She was born in Riverdale, in the Bronx, in New York. Garner’s mother Tamar Ginghold was previously a successful actress and comedian, turned therapist. Her father Thomas is a painter and art teacher. Garner is Jewish on her mother’s side and has an older sister, Anna Garner. At age 15, she started taking acting lessons to overcome her shyness.
Career in Acting
Her first acting credit was at age 17 in Martha Macy May Marlene as Sarah. In 2012, she played a small role in David Chase’s Not Fade Away. Her starring role debut was in The Last Exorcism Part 2 in 2013, and she also starred in the horror film We Are What We Are.
She starred in Robert Rodriguez’s Sin City: A Dame To Kill For in 2014 as a new character, a stripper named Marcie. The young actress continued to build her acting credits in the 2010s, starring in the comedy film Grandma in 2015, and in a recurring role in the FX spy thriller The Americans in its third season until its sixth.
In 2017, she had her breakthrough.
Breakthrough moment
In 2017, she landed the lead role of Ruth Langmore on Ozark. This was one of Garner’s first major roles and earned her critical acclaim. From here on, Garner had more major roles in bigger shows and films.
In 2018 she starred in the Netflix series Maniac as Ellie, and she had a small role in Bravo’s true crime show Dirty John. In 2019 she starred in the Amazon series Modern Love and made her way into independent film. Her role in The Assistant as a woman stuck in a toxic job won her an Independent Spirit Award nomination.
Of course, in 2022 she starred in the highly-memed show Inventing Anna. Honestly, one of her best roles.
Leading into 2024 she starred in Apartment 7A, a sequel to Rosemary’s Baby. Remarkably, she was chosen by Madonna herself to play the icon in a biopic, although the project hasn’t been released. She starred in The Royal Hotel and will now join the Marvel universe. Marvel is her biggest step yet, and will surely add to her net worth.
What is Julia Garner’s net worth?
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Garner is worth $4 million. Thanks to her lucrative recurring and starring roles, her net worth has skyrocketed since her career began 14 years ago.
Career earnings
You may surprised to hear that Garner has such a net worth, but her high-profile roles come with a decent paycheck. Let’s break down some of them.
How much was she paid for Ozark?
Perhaps her breakthrough role, Garner’s four-season run on Ozark increased her net worth. However, her salary is not publicly known. International Business Insider reports that Laura Linney and Jason Bateman took home around $3 million per season of Ozark. In 2017, reports also said Bateman was paid $300,000 per episode. Assuming this is true Garner’s salary would be considerably less, but enough to return for another three seasons.
However, her Emmy win for the series does throw a spanner into the works. The award-winning potential would’ve upped her salary significantly, even if it isn’t publicly disclosed.
How much did she earn from Inventing Anna?
For the role, Garner’s salary isn’t completely known. However, interestingly Insider reported that Anna Sorokin, who the show was based on was paid $320,000 for the rights to adapt her life on-screen.
We doubt Garner was paid as much, but she did a beautiful job in the role of Anna Delvey/Sorokin.
How much did she earn from Fantastic Four: First Steps?
Although the film isn’t even out yet and we haven’t even seen Silver Surfer, curiosity over pay has been rampant. As you may expect there is no official confirmation on the cast’s salaries. However, there is an inkling about how much they may not be making. No, really. First Steps has been in development for years, running into many hiccups including casting and director issues.
The studio wanted Emma Stone to play Susan Storm, not Vanessa Kirby, who won the role. Rumors swirled that Stone was offered the role, but said no because they couldn’t pay her the $15-20 million she requested.
If you consider those rumors as fact, you’d have to understand that each cast member and understand they wouldn’t make over $15 million, according to the studio’s budget. Therefore, the main 4 could be making a few million dollars, and Garner making less since she has a smaller role in comparison to the Fantastic Four.
Julia Garner’s real estate net worth
There isn’t any public information on Garner’s real estate holdings. However, because she is married to Foster The People singer Mark Foster, it is safe to assume they live together.
Endorsements and sponsorships
Julia Garner has had a few endorsement and sponsorship deals. The young actress has delved (get it, because of Delvey), into high fashion. She has endorsed Gucci multiple times, starring in a campaign for them in 2023 and being photographed in Gucci during fashion week. She has starred in campaigns with Elliot Page and A$AP Rocky, as well as an individual one for Gucci’s fragrance Guilty.
Nespresso
Let’s face it, we all dream of having a $300 coffee machine with the nicest espresso. And that’s what you think of when you imagine Nespresso, or maybe you think of George Clooney? Well, Garner starred alongside Bridgerton’s Simone Ashley and Clooney in an ad for them in 2023. She describes guests as coffee flavors at a party, naming different Nespresso pods. Great marketing, and a great way to increase your net worth!
Garner has built her stardom in Hollywood steadily, showing her versatility in different genres. Now with a Marvel role coming up, she is sure to add to her net worth and notoriety.
