Brie Larson Net Worth Through Time

The Brie Larson net worth story starts back in 1998 with a bit part on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Even so, Larson didn’t start accumulating wealth until 2009. That’s because the hardworking actress likely earned only enough money to cover expenses and taxes for the first several years. That’s not such a bad thing, since the star’s first appearance was at the age of nine.

Even in more recent years, Larson was probably only able to save a small amount. It wasn’t until she landed the lead role in 2017’s Kong: Skull Island (now filming) that Larson scored her first million dollar role. That’s set to change. With a likely Academy Award in the offing, the Brie Larson net worth sum is sure to grow. Oscars don’t pay big money. Still, an Oscar will almost certainly boost Larson’s earning power into the million per role range.

Brie Larson Net Worth in the Future

If other actors are any tip off, the Brie Larson net worth math will get a huge boost if she wins the Oscar on 2/28/16. That’s according to a recent study on how much money stars make when they win an Oscar. Larson’s earning power should go up by as much as 60% per role after her predicted Oscar win. That should take the actress from an estimated $27,000 per film role to $100,000 per role or more.

It’s clear that most actors earn more money after winning an Oscar, though whether that’s thanks to the Oscar itself or if the Oscar is just a by-product of a growing career is uncertain. Tom Hanks’ net worth grew dramatically after his first Oscar win in 1994. His 93% earnings boost was almost certainly not all due to the award.
