Elle Fanning has an estimated net worth of $8 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Elle Fanning net worth page (figures as of February 5, 2025).
Elle Fanning is an American actress who made her film debut at three, playing the younger version of her sister Dakota Fanning's character in I Am Sam. A busy child actress, she appeared in Daddy Day Care, Babel, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Phoebe in Wonderland. Her accolades include nominations for an Academy Award, four Emmy Awards and four Golden Globes.
She won wider notice for leading roles in Sofia Coppola's Somewhere, J. J. Abrams' Super 8, Ginger & Rosa and Disney's Maleficent, where she played Princess Aurora. As an adult she has starred in acclaimed films such as The Neon Demon, led the Hulu series The Great as Catherine the Great, and appeared in A Complete Unknown.
How Elle Fanning makes her money
Acting has been Fanning's job since early childhood, which gives her more years of income than most actors her age. Her biggest paydays have come from studio films such as Maleficent and its sequel, where she starred alongside Angelina Jolie.
Television added a major lead role. The Great ran for several seasons on Hulu, and she was also an executive producer on the show, which brings income beyond acting. Streaming services pay leads well, and award nominations help raise fees for the next role.
She is also a regular face for luxury fashion and beauty brands. Campaigns like these can pay well for years, and they keep her in the public eye between films. Her recent work in A Complete Unknown and Predator: Badlands added more big releases.
Her long career already includes more than two decades of work.
