What Is Charlize Theron's Net Worth in 2025?
Charlize was on Forbes' highest paid actresses list in 2017, coming in at number six on the list with $14 million thanks in part to her hit action movie Atomic Blonde. But things only went up from there. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Charlize made $23 million between 2017 and 2019.
We can all agree that's a huge amount of money, but she's had to fight for equal pay over the years. Per the Hollywood Reporter, Charlize negotiated to be paid the same amount as Chris Hemsworth for Snow White and the Huntsman (somewhere north of $10 million).
Charlize told Elle (via The Telegraph), 'I have to give them credit because once I asked, they said yes. They did not fight it. And maybe that's the message: That we just need to put our foot down. This is a good time for us to bring this to a place of fairness, and girls need to know that being a feminist is a good thing. It doesn't mean that you hate men. It means equal rights. If you're doing the same job, you should be compensated and treated in the same way."
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Charlize earned $3 million to endorse Raymond Weil watches back in the early aughts. But her most lucrative collaboration came from Dior, who allegedly paid her $55 million for an 11 year contract as the face of J'adore Dior, which ended up being about $5 million per year. She's since been named a jewelry and skincare ambassador for the brand.
So, Charlize's salary hasn't been revealed just yet, but Netflix pays a lot. Like, a LOT. They famously dolled out $25 million to Jennifer Lawrence for her role in Don't Look Up, and more recently were said to have paid Jennifer Lopez $16.5 million for her role in Atlas. So, it seems safe to assume Charlize made over $10 million (her asking price back in 2012) for the highly anticipated sequel.
Charlize's Hollywood Hills Mansion is presumably worth multiple millions, but she purchased it for "just" $1.65 million in 1998. On top of that, she owns a property in Ojai which she bought for $4.2 million and is apparently worth over $15 million. I could cry!
Prepare yourself: According to Celebrity Net Worth, Charlize has $200 million in the bank. And it's unclear if that number factors in Netflix's Old Guard 2 pay, so...the figure could actually be much higher.

Netflix Orders Live-Action Adaptation of Korean Fantasy Sensation ‘Solo Leveling' With Byeon Woo-seok Set to Star
Netflix is leveling up its Korean content slate once again, commissioning a live-action adaptation of Solo Leveling, the wildly popular web novel, webtoon and anime franchise that has become one of Korea's biggest crossover hits in recent years. The fantasy-action series will star fast-rising actor Byeon Woo-seok (Lovely Runner, 20th Century Girl), with production led by Kakao Entertainment and SANAI Pictures. Byeon, who has emerged as one of Korea's most in-demand young stars, has long been fan-cast in the role of Sung Jin-woo, Solo Leveling's brooding antihero. The actor's striking visual presence — described by fans as 'straight out of a manhwa' (the Korean word for comics) — makes him a natural fit to embody Jin-woo's transformation from the weakest hunter in the land to humanity's last hope against supernatural annihilation, Netflix says. More from The Hollywood Reporter Thanks to Netflix, Kirk Cousins Will Never Pay for a Haircut Again 'Queer Eye' Set to End With Season 10 at Netflix RPG 'Kingdom Come: Deliverance II' and Its Cinematic Cut Take the Karlovy Vary Spotlight Based on the smash hit web novel published on KakaoPage, Solo Leveling has racked up a staggering 14.3 billion cumulative views globally across its various formats. Earlier this year, its anime adaptation made history as the first Korean IP-based series to sweep the 2025 Crunchyroll Anime Awards, taking home nine trophies, including anime of the year and best action. Set in a world where portals known as 'Gates' connect reality to deadly alternate dimensions, the story follows Sung Jin-woo, an E-rank hunter barely strong enough to survive low-level missions. But after a brutal dungeon raid nearly kills him, Jin-woo awakens with a mysterious new ability: he can 'level up' in power through combat, gaining strength faster than anyone before him. As he grows, so too does the scale of the threat he faces — monstrous invaders pouring from the Gates who threaten to obliterate humanity itself. The series will be co-directed by Lee Hae-jun and Kim Byung-seo, the filmmaking team behind Ashfall, Castaway on the Moon, and Like a Virgin. Netflix says the production will feature a world-class global VFX team to bring the story's high-stakes fantasy and action set-pieces to life. Solo Leveling joins Netflix's growing arsenal of premium Korean genre titles as it seeks to build upon the worldwide expectations it has established with Squid Game, following recent greenlights for Notes from the Last Row, The Rat (WT) and Lovestruck, among others. The project can be seen as representing not only a major swing at the live-action fantasy-action genre, but also a test of Korea's ongoing efforts to translate its webtoon boom into prestige series success for global audiences.

Liam Payne shines amid criticism of Netflix's Building The Band reality show
Critics have savaged new Netflix series Building The Band, describing it as 'spectacularly misjudged,' 'painfully unfunny,' and 'a chaotic mess,' but many agreed on one thing: Liam Payne is 'the best thing' about it. The reality series, which landed on the streaming platform today (July 9), was filmed before Payne's shock death last October aged 31, when he fell from the third floor of a hotel balcony in Argentina. It features the former One Direction star in a key mentoring role. His contribution - kept in with the support of his family - has been widely praised for its warmth and authenticity, offering one of the few standout moments in a show many reviewers have otherwise called derivative. Hosted by Backstreet Boys' AJ McLean, with Nicole Scherzinger as lead judge and joined by Kelly Rowland and Payne, the 10-part competition sees aspiring singers attempt to build bands from scratch without input from music executives or producers. Most damning was The i Paper, which questioned the show's very existence in the wake of Payne's death. It raised concerns about how such talent formats affect young performers' mental health and whether enough protections are in place. 'Obviously, the flashy trailer displays no awareness of the grim irony that were it not for programmes just like this that promise desperate, hopeful singers a future of success and stardom, Payne might still be alive,' it writes. The Telegraph was also not won over, declaring the show 'an insincere singing contest' and criticising its format as a mashup of The X Factor, The Circle and Love Is Blind. Still, it highlighted Payne's appearance in episode seven as the emotional high point. 'He judges the acts with kindness and constructive criticism,' the review by the publication read, adding that an Australian contestant's heartfelt story about seeing One Direction as a child visibly moves him. 'It's right that the producers, backed by the family, decided to keep his contribution in. But it's also pretty sad.' The Guardian, meanwhile, offered a more reserved three-star verdict. While calling the series 'fine, watchable, well-crafted,' the paper criticised early episodes for feeling 'drawn out and repetitive.' It also questioned the concept's relevance in today's music scene. 'I did wonder why Building the Band would focus on groups in an era dominated by solo artists, but perhaps it's less about music and more about creating spectacle,' the reviewer wrote. The Standard's own Saskia Kemsley was the kindest, awarding the show four stars. Kemsley praised Building the Band for tapping into the legacy of early 2000s TV juggernauts like The X Factor, the show that helped launch Payne's career. 'For lifelong One Direction fans, Payne's presence is bittersweet – but he's a grounded, respectful presence here, and the series handles his legacy with care,' the review reads. She continued: 'Like clockwork, tensions flare. Those who falter often lash out, giving the show its requisite dose of drama. But Building the Band isn't just about meltdowns. It's also a showcase for powerful mentorship, and few moments are more affecting than Payne's.'

Nicole Scherzinger Teases Netflix's Building the Band: ‘Musical Version of Love Is Blind'
Fresh off her Tony win, Nicole Scherzinger is currently serving as a judge on Netflix's new competition reality show, Building the Band. Although the name might sound similar to an MTV show hosted by a certain disgraced hip-hop mogul, this show is totally different. According to Nicole, it's like a musical version of Love Is Blind. Building the Band is Netflix's latest competition series, featuring members of legendary bands. AJ McLean is the host. Serving as mentors and judges are Nicole, Kelly Rowland, and Liam Payne, in his final appearance before his death. The show brings together solo singers who are divided into six new groups. It feels inspired by the success of groups like One Direction, Little Mix, and Fifth Harmony, who were pieced together after solo auditioning for The X Factor. However, as Nicole pointed out to Access Hollywood, Netflix has added some elements that make it feel like their other hit reality show. 'It's nothing like we've ever seen before, but it's like the musical version of Love Is Blind,' Nicole explained. 'It's a musical band version of Love Is Blind, and it's really cool because these contestants are putting themselves together in a band, having never seen one another, and just getting to connect with each other in these booths listening to each other and asking each other questions.' Ultimately, the contestants sort themselves out into six different bands. They can pick between three, four, or five-person bands. In the first batch of episodes, we see that not everyone makes the cut. Netflix just dropped the first four episodes of the series. The rest will be released all throughout July, with a total of ten episodes. Stay tuned to see if this show produces another One Direction. Building the Band is streaming on Netflix, with new episodes dropping every Wednesday. TELL US – WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON BUILDING THE BAND? DO YOU THINK ANY OF THE GROUPS WILL SEE COMMERCIAL SUCCESS? The post Nicole Scherzinger Teases Netflix's Building the Band: 'Musical Version of Love Is Blind' appeared first on Reality Tea.
