Shailene Woodley has an estimated net worth of $12 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Shailene Woodley net worth page (figures as of April 24, 2024).

Shailene Woodley is an American actress known for her work on screen and stage. She broke through playing Amy Juergens on the ABC Family teen drama The Secret Life of the American Teenager from 2008 to 2013, then earned a Golden Globe nomination for The Descendants in 2011. Her accolades include a Primetime Emmy Award and a Trophée Chopard.

She gained wider fame in The Spectacular Now and The Fault in Our Stars, and as Beatrice Prior in the Divergent trilogy from 2014 to 2016. She also starred in Snowden, Adrift, The Mauritanian and Ferrari, produced To Catch a Killer, and was Emmy-nominated for Big Little Lies. She made her Broadway debut in Cult of Love in 2024 and won an Emmy for the Hulu series Paradise in 2026.

How Shailene Woodley makes her money

Her biggest paydays came from franchise work. The Divergent films were major studio releases, and leads in a young-adult series are paid more with each sequel. Her film roles in The Fault in Our Stars and Snowden added to that.

Television has been a steady source. The Secret Life of the American Teenager ran for five years, Big Little Lies was an HBO hit, and her work in Paradise in 2026 earned her an Emmy and a new round of attention from streaming services.

She has also produced, including To Catch a Killer, which brings fees beyond acting. Off screen she is an environmental activist and a Greenpeace Oceans Ambassador, and she co-founded the nonprofit All it Takes, though those efforts are not a source of her income.

She has moved between big commercial films and smaller dramas, which helps her stay in demand and keeps her fees growing from one project to the next.

Her estimate

Celebrity Net Worth estimates Shailene Woodley's net worth at $12 million, on its page last updated April 24, 2024. That figure is an outside estimate of what the star has earned and kept after taxes, fees and spending.
