Emily has a knack for picking big box office hits, which tend to come with big box office paychecks. Like...Edge of Tomorrow, The Adjustment Bureau, Jungle Cruise, Looper? Costars like Tom Cruise, Matt Damon, and The Rock? The movies were made to make! money!

And while Emily's exact salary for every single one of her films isn't known, we do have some specifics.

Emily Made a TON for Jungle Cruise _{(but there was a big pay disparity)}

Variety reports Emily made between $8-10 million for Jungle Cruise. But unfortunately, there was a pretty huge pay discrepancy between her and The Rock, who earned $22 million in the movie, according to TMZ.

Emily actually spoke about equal pay in Hollywood to Harper's Bazaar UK, saying, "Ambition is healthy–it shouldn’t be seen as a negative thing. It’s about knowing your worth and what you bring to a project, and never apologizing for doing well."

She previously spoke about the subject to Vanity Fair in 2018, saying, "I took it on as my personal responsibility to make sure that I don’t feel shortchanged or less than.... Especially in this new climate, I think that it’s okay to reclaim the words ‘making an aggressive deal’ as a positive. Usually people are making so much money off your back that it comes down to a sort of justice thing for me. I make it a point to not be too concerned with ‘I hope they think I’m a team player.’ The people who are calling and making the deals are business affairs. It’s not the producer. It’s people who are billed to fuck you up. To shortchange you....In a way, because we are inundated with those types of stories now, it has created a much safer climate to ask for what you want.”

Her Quiet Place 2 Salary Involved Some Drama

Sooooo, according to Variety, Emily earned between $12-13 million for A Quiet Place 2. Which is obviously enormous, and—again—was the highest salary for an actress in 2019. But she and her hubs, John Krasinski, were not here for Paramount's decision to shorten the movie's theatrical release window since—per Bloomberg—they had “a contract that compensates them based on the film’s box-office performance,” and they ended up asking for more money.

She Actually Lowered Her Rate for Oppenheimer

Variety reports that the stars of Oppenheimer—including Emily—"could command $10 million to $20 million on the open market," but for the "privilege" of working with Christopher Nolan they agreed to be paid $4 million each.

Emily Has a Ton Tied Up in Real Estate

She and her husband John sold none other than Kendall Jenner their home in Los Angeles for $6.5 million per Celebrity Net Worth and also sold a property in Ojai (which they bought for $2.15 million) for $2.4 million.

After ditching L.A., the couple ended up moving to a Brooklyn townhouse, which they sold for $6.5 million. They then bought a Brooklyn condo for $11 million. So yeah, they have mannnny mills tied up in real estate.

So, What Is Emily Blunt's Total Net Worth in 2024?

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Emily Blunt's net worth is $80 million. Enough money to buy a lotta Prada, if you will.
