Julianne Moore's net worth: From luxury cars, properties, and endorsements - A look at the Siren star's earnings
Julianne Moore, the acclaimed American-British actress, is making headlines with her portrayal of Michaela Kell aka Kiki in the new Netflix show Sirens. Julianne has carved out a remarkable career in Hollywood, amassing a net worth of $55 million. She rose to fame in the early 1990s, recognised for her emotionally rich performances, particularly portraying women in distress. In 2020, she was ranked 11th in The New York Times' list of the 25 Greatest Actors of the 21st Century. Julianne Moore made a name for herself with a series of strong supporting roles during the '90s. Her breakthrough came with Robert Altman's Short Cuts in 1993, followed by impressive turns in Vanya on 42nd Street and Safe. By the mid-1990s, starring roles in blockbusters such as Nine Months and The Lost World: Jurassic Park made her a global name. Oscar nominations poured in for her performances in Boogie Nights, The End of the Affair, Far from Heaven, and The Hours. Other standout roles include appearances in The Big Lebowski, Magnolia, Hannibal, and Children of Men. In the 2010s, she continued to shine with The Kids Are Alright and her award-winning portrayal of Sarah Palin in Game Change. Her 2014 performance in Still Alice, where she played a linguistics professor diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's, earned her the Golden Globe, BAFTA, SAG Award, and ultimately, her first Academy Award. That same year, she starred in Maps to the Stars and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1. She followed this with more strong roles, including appearances in Wonderstruck, Suburbicon, and Kingsman: The Golden Circle in 2017. Moore's success in film translated into an impressive property portfolio. In 1999, she purchased a duplex loft in New York's West Village for $911,500, later selling it for $1.95 million in 2002. In 2003, she acquired a townhouse in the same area for $3.5 million, which she attempted to sell for up to $12.5 million. She still owns this property. She also owns a home in the Hamptons, purchased in 2007 for $1.05 million. Although she listed it for sale in 2015, she later removed it from the market. During the 2020 pandemic, she and her family stayed there frequently, though they eventually moved to a nearby 10-acre property with enhanced security after an unexpected and unsettling incident involving a drunken intruder. Julianne Moore's car collection reflects a mix of practicality and opulence. Her most modest vehicle is a Toyota Prius, priced at approximately $24,525. She also owns a luxurious Mercedes-Benz S-Class worth $112,150, and the pinnacle of her collection is the Lexus LS 600hL, valued at $113,150.

Sirens: Julianne Moore and Meghann Fahy have acres of fun in this wild White Lotus-esque bingefest
I have a theory that TV shows nowadays are all tonal variations on either The White Lotus, Boiling Point or possibly Yellowstone, but honestly I haven't seen the latter. You might wish I had supporting evidence, but isn't that what a theory is? Anyway, this week's pick is definitely in the White Lotus mould. Sirens (Netflix, from Thursday 22 May) unfolds over Labor Day weekend in the Lloyd Neck peninsula of upstate New York, where a wealthy group of guests descend on a beachside estate for a charity gala. The raptor conservation organisation (think falcons, not velociraptors) is run by socialite Michaela Kell, a wellness-y guru who expects obedience from everyone around her. But preparations are interrupted by Devon, a chaotic falafel waitress who has come to save her sister Simone, Michaela's assistant. Devon comes to believe Simone has been brainwashed, and that they're mixed up in a murder, or several. It's a long weekend. They're serving cult, obviously, in addition to shrimp. Michaela – 'Kiki' to her inner circle – is an insidious emotional vampire. She's feared more than revered by the locals, and has the police on a leash. She concludes ceremonies and conversations with the weird, pseudo-spiritual mantra 'Hey hey', as if attempting to summon the spirit of the chicken from Moana. When Devon asks the exploited employees why they don't complain, they clam up harder than the quahogs in the Long Island Sound. Come for the set-up, stay for the execution. Milly Alcock plays Simone as a smothered scream. Her Barbie-perfect factotum is across everything from beach seating for bird funerals to misting Kiki's underwear with lavender – and composing her boss's sexts to her husband. Meanwhile, Meghann Fahy, whom we've seen in – huh, The White Lotus – has acres of fun as Devon. 'A transient person carrying hot garbage' is how a member of staff describes her when she turns up at the manicured estate, having spent the night in jail, in the middle of a day that sees her sleeping with two separate men on different boats. She's the finest hot mess to hit our screens in an age. Then there's Julianne Moore as the titular siren. In the last few years, Moore has enjoyed sinister turns. There's the Todd Haynes film May December, in which she weaponised childlike, cutesy-pie manipulations to control others. As Michaela, she devours relatively spare screen time to portray an enigmatic, hostile cult leader who seethes aggression beneath wellness bromides and a too-wide smile. Devon is drawn in to her spell while fully conscious of the danger. Her monstrousness is alluring, which is the point. 'What would I do without you?' Michaela purrs disingenuously in one scene. 'You'd hire a new assistant,' replies Simone, in a Freudian slip of honesty. The pedigree shines throughout. Sirens is based on a play by Molly Smith Metzler, and has an initial block of episodes directed by Nicole Kassel, who won Emmys for HBO's Watchmen. For Michaela's weed-toking, elusive husband Peter, Kassel reunites with functionally immortal film star Kevin Bacon. The pair last worked together on Kassel's superb 2004 debut The Woodsman. It's nice to associate Bacon with something other than EE adverts isn't it? That was rough for a while. Where The White Lotus uses its glossy veneer to satirise our zeitgeist, Sirens digs at something deeper. Troubled female relationships, to be specific. There is the brittle intimacy of the boss-assistant relationship: an indentured labour demanding total emotional disclosure, an arrangement unimaginable between men. There are the sisters, vastly different, constantly at odds yet fiercely protective. More obliquely, and most affecting, the show investigates relationships of mothering warped by trauma. It's a rich watch, in every sense.

A chance conversation at a barbecue can feel like being handed between 20 and 160 hours of homework. But like Devon, this show goes down easy. Snappy comic writing, Hollywood pedigree and a corkscrewing mystery make it fantastically bingeable. And you know the best thing about it? It's five episodes long. Now that's music to my ears.
