Mia Wasikowska Net Worth $3 Million
Emily Wasikowska was born on October 14, 1989, in Canberra, Australia. Her mother is Polish, and a photographer like her father John Reid, who is also known as an Australian collagist. Mia is the middle child in the family and was raised together with her older sister and younger brother. Since nine years of age, Mia dreamt about performing to a big audience, and took ballet lessons as a small girl. During school years Wasikowska was a shy teenager, but still played some small roles in school. She decided to associate her future life with an acting career only after she watched “The Piano” with Holly Hunter and “A Woman Under Influence” with Gena Rowlands. About that time she started to search for a suitable role for herself and contacted many different talent agencies in Australia through the internet, but received only one response. That’s how she was given a role in the 2004 movie entitled “All Saints”, which was the beginning of building up Mia Wasikowska’s net worth.
Since then Mia has become extremely popular among audiences around the world, especially after “Alice in Wonderland” appeared on screens. Despite being such a young actress, Mia has already managed to show herself as a talented actress and establish a considerable amount of net worth. For audiences, Mia is also known for some other notable roles in the movies: Mia played Pamela Choat from “That Evening Sun”, “Sarah Jane” from “I Love Sarah Jane”, Lilya from “Suburbian Mayhem”, “Sherry” from “Rogue”, Chaya Dziencielsky from “Defiance” and Elinor Smith from “Amelia”. Furthermore, in 2010, when the video game “Alice in Wonderland” appeared, Mia was asked to voice Alice Kingsleigh, and of course this performance also increased Mia Wasikowska’s net worth.
During her acting career Mia has been nominated for numerous awards and even won five of them in 2009 and 2010. She received AFI International Best Actress Award after the film “That Evening Sun” appeared on screens and she was also announced as Actress of the Year by Hollywood Breaktrough Award for her amazing appearance in “Alice in Wonderland”. Of course, such a great beginning to her career raised the net worth of Mia Wasikowska, but we can clearly consider that it’s just a beginning of a great acting breaktrough in her career which is going to be even more amazing.
