Julia Roberts is a well-known actress and model with a wealth of $250 million. Robert's face and name are automatically correlated with romance, comedies, and dramas. The stunning actress has established herself as a timeless emblem of beauty and all things romantic. Her breakthrough as a leading actress in Hollywood came with the 1990 film Pretty Woman. When it comes to film wages and endorsements, she typically earns $20-$30 million per year.
Julia Roberts made her big-screen debut in the 1988 film Satisfaction, starring Liam Neeson and Justine Bateman. Her supporting role in Steel Magnolias got her first Academy Award nomination (for Best Supporting Actress) and her first Golden Globe win for Motion Picture Best Supporting Actress.
Pretty Woman, in which she co-starred with Richard Gere, was her breakthrough role in 1990. The romantic comedy was a smash hit, and Roberts (who was just 22 at the time) soared to stardom. She earned her second Oscar nomination for her performance, this time for Best Actress, and won her first Golden Globe for it. Pretty Woman had the largest number of ticket sales for a romantic film in the United States at the time, grossing $463.4 million worldwide. She was paid $300,000 for her work on the film. Among her other famous 1990s projects were Sleeping with the Enemy (1991), The Pelican Brief (1993), My Best Friend's Wedding (1997), and Notting Hill (1999).
Roberts received $20 million for her role as real-life environmental activist Erin Brockovich in the film Erin Brockovich (2000). The film was a commercial success, grossing $256.3 million worldwide, and Roberts won an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance. She was one of the highest-paid actresses in the 1990s, and she was the first actress to appear on The Hollywood Reporter's list of the 50 most influential women in show business since the list's creation in 1992.
Ocean's Eleven (2001), Ocean's Twelve (2004), Charlie Wilson's War (2007), Valentine's Day (2010), Eat Pray Love (2010), August: Osage County (2013), Money Monster (2016), and Wonder (2017) are some of Roberts' notable works of films. Roberts was paid $25 million for her 2003 film Mona Lisa Smile, which was unheard of at the time. Her films have grossed more than $2.8 billion at the worldwide box office, making her one of Hollywood's most commercially successful actresses.
On November 28, 2004, she secretly married Daniel Moder on her ranch in Taos, New Mexico, and they have twins, Phinnaeus Walter and Hazel Patricia. Henry Daniel, their third child, was born in June 2007. Julia's older brother, Eric Roberts, and niece, Emma Roberts, are both actors as well. In 2006, Roberts signed an endorsement contract with Gianfranco Ferre, for which she earned $6 million. Since 2009, she has also served as the global brand ambassador for Lancome Paris, a cosmetics company. In 2010, she signed a five-year contract with Lancome for $50 million.
Roberts has a range of properties all over the world. She paid $6.4 million for a seaside Malibu property in 2003, knocking down the original 6,000 square-foot house and replacing it with an eco-friendly solar-powered mansion. In 2018, she listed the property as a $10,000-per-month rental on the market. She also owns a Malibu home, which she paid $6.84 million for. She also owns a $4 million apartment in Manhattan, New York; a $30 million home in Los Angeles; and a $2.5 million ranch in Taos, New Mexico, where she married Daniel Moder.
