Scarlett Johansson is an American actress who has a net worth of $165 million. Her big breakthrough came in 2001 with the black comedy “Ghost World.” Despite the film’s poor box office performance, Johansson’s acting earned widespread praise. After graduating from Professional Children’s School and being rejected from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts in 2002, Johansson decided to focus full time on her film career, and transition from teen to more adult roles.
She made the leap to adult roles with “Lost in Translation”, opposite Bill Murray, for which she was nominated for a Golden Globe and won a BAFTA. She followed the performance with “The Girl With the Pearl Earring”, for which she was again nominated for both a Golden Globe and a BAFTA. In 2004 she had five film releases: “The Perfect Score,” “A Love Song for Bobby Long,” “A Good Woman,” the live-action animated comedy “The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie,” and “In Good Company.”
She began working with director Woody Allen in 2005 with the drama “Match Point.” They continued to work together on “Scoop” (2006) and “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” (2008), for which she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. In 2010, she appeared opposite Robert Downey, Jr in Iron Man 2 as the anti-heroine Black Widow. That would be the beginning of her long-term relationship with the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). She has since reprised her role as Black Widow in “The Avengers” (2012), “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” (2014), “Avengers: Age of Ultron” (2015), “Captain America: Civil War” (2016), and “Avengers: Infinity War” (2018), among other MCU films.
