How Much Is Emily Blunt Worth?
With the May 2021 release date for "A Quiet Place Part II" on the horizon, Emily Blunt and her husband John Krasinski are on fans' minds. Early reviews for the sequel to "A Quiet Place" are excellent; many critics say Blunt's performance is exceptional. And in 2018, The Hollywood Reporter called Blunt and Krasinski "Hollywood's Couple of the Year." There's loads of praise for the "Edge of Tomorrow" star, but what is Blunt's net worth?
Blunt began acting in 2001 on the British stage and made her television debut in 2003, according to Celebrity Net Worth. The actor won her first Golden Globe Award in 2007 for Best Supporting Actress in a miniseries for her work in the UK TV drama "Gideon's Daughter." It's well-known that Blunt's big break was in 2006's "The Devil Wears Prada," but her performance in "The Young Victoria" earned her a Golden Globe Award nod, too. The 2009 film followed the early reign of the 18-year-old queen of England and was produced by Martin Scorsese (via French Vogue), earning Blunt credibility as an actor.
While her star was rising in Hollywood, Blunt dated Canadian singer Michael Bublé; the couple broke up in 2008. A few months after she split from Bublé, she met Krasinski, whom she's been married to since 2010. Blunt and Krasinski have two young daughters, Hazel and Violet. So, what's the couple's net worth?

Emily Blunt's net worth is on the rise
Emily Blunt has a net worth of $80 million. Well, that's her combined net worth with her husband, John Krasinski, according to Celebrity Net Worth. The outlet reports the celebrity couple's fortune is "almost equally attributable," with Krasinski's work pulling in a slightly bigger share of their combined wealth. Forbes reported 2018's "A Quiet Place" grossed $341 million on a $17 million budget; it seems that the 2018 smash hit helped drive up Blunt and Krasinski's net worth.
But Blunt's earnings are about to increase over the next year. According to Forbes, Blunt was one of the ten highest-paid female actors of 2020, taking home $22.5 million that year. The outlet reported that Blunt received an "eight-figure upfront salary" for "A Quiet Place Part II," and she will take home a paycheck in the "high seven figures" for her work in the film "Jungle Cruise," co-starring with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
Blunt remains humble and down-to-earth, despite her increasing net worth. While promoting the 2020 film "Wild Mountain Thyme," an Irish rom-com, a reporter asked Blunt about her "house in West Cork." According to Irish outlet Cork Beo, Blunt reacted hilariously, saying, "I WISH I had a house in West Cork!" It turns out, the West Cork home is owned by Krasinski's family. But with the couple's impressive nest egg, they could definitely buy a home in Ireland if they wanted.
Emily Blunt's dedication keeps her net worth climbing
Emily Blunt's career and her net worth continue to climb. One reason may be her intense dedication to her work. GoldDerby notes that Blunt's acting has a "boldness that has earned her critical respect across the board." The entertainment outlet said it's a "shocking oversight" that Blunt hasn't been nominated for an Academy Award. Blunt seems to go above and beyond to prepare for her roles.
For "A Quiet Place," and "A Quiet Place Part II," for instance, Blunt and husband John Krasinski and the entire cast learned American Sign Language, per SyFy. Co-star Millicent Simmonds, the actor playing Blunt's daughter, is deaf. And when she co-starred with Tom Cruise in 2014's "Edge of Tomorrow," Blunt trained for three months and studied Krav Maga, per Celebrity Net Worth.
Blunt is clearly dedicated to her work, and Hollywood has taken notice. Her net worth is in the 10s of millions, but she and Krasinski have worked hard to achieve it.
