Emily Blunt has been considered at the top of her craft for almost two decades, so it's not surprising that the lauded actress would have a high net worth. The British star broke out in Hollywood in 2006, playing ice-cold assistant Emily Charlton in The Devil Wears Prada, which earned her a Golden Globe nomination. Blunt found herself at the top of the A-list, and the 2010s saw her starring in several sci-fi films, including The Adjustment Bureau and Edge of Tomorrow. In 2023, Blunt received her first Oscar nomination for playing Kitty Oppenheimer in Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer.

Blunt was born in Wandsworth, London, England to parents Joanna and Oliver, and is the second of four children. She was discovered by an agent while performing at a school play at the Edinburgh Festival, and has been acting on camera since 2003. Offscreen, Blunt was in a relationship with Canadian crooner Michael Bublé from 2005-2008. Shortly after their breakup, Blunt was introduced to fellow actor John Krasinski, and the couple married in 2010. They share two daughters, born in 2014 and 2016. Blunt is also the sister-in-law of actor Stanley Tucci, who is married to her sister, Felicity.

Blunt Is Worth $80 Million

Emily Blunt is worth a whopping $80 million, a combined net worth with her husband, John Krasinski (via Celebrity Net Worth). Though it's estimated Krasinski brought slightly more money into the marriage, she has contributed significantly to their wealth, as Blunt's been starring in several high-profile movies for almost 20 years. According to Parade, some of Blunt's known film salaries are $8-10 million for starring in Disney's Jungle Cruise (2021) and $4 million for Oppenheimer. Blunt, along with co-stars Matt Damon and Robert Downey Jr., took a significant pay cut to appear in the movie.

Blunt also collaborated with her director husband in 2024's IF, a family fantasy comedy about imaginary friends. She voiced the role of Unicorn.

Krasinski also directed Blunt in the first two A Quiet Place movies. The first film, released in 2018, was a massive success, raking in over $340 million against a $17 million budget (via Blunt and Krasinski went back to Paramount asking for more money. It hasn't been confirmed if they reached a figure.

A-list celebrities like Blunt often accept endorsement deals to further supplement their income, but the Devil Wears Prada actress hasn't been the face of many brands. However, in 2019, THR reported Blunt as one of the most in-demand stars whom designers approached to wear their goods on the red carpet. The publication said, "Placing a gown or jewelry on an A-lister runs from $50,000 to $200,000 for a single red carpet appearance." With Blunt being such a prolific actress and multiple awards nominee, she's likely taking home a steady paycheck for her glamorous red carpet appearances.

Emily Blunt Had A Childhood Stutter

She Overcame It By Appearing In School Plays, Which Launched Blunt's Love Of Acting

Emily Blunt has been quite candid about struggling with a childhood stutter. The actress says that it was particularly prevalent between the age of 7 and 14, and at its absolute worse when she was 12. Despite her parents taking Blunt to speech and relaxation coaches to help, nothing worked until a teacher came up with a helpful suggestion — that Blunt try a funny accent in a school play. Blunt told Vulture,

I had a really amazing teacher at that age, when I was 12, and he was really kind and helpful and encouraged me to be in the class plays, which previously I had no interest in being in ‘cause I couldn’t talk. He said, “Well, why don’t you try it in a different voice? Try to do a funny voice or an accent. Maybe that would help.” But it really did, I was actually able to speak fluently. Once you’re able to hear yourself speak fluently, albeit in a ridiculous accent, you gain the confidence to think this could happen again and again. It was easier after that night, of that school play. It all became a bit easier.

Not only did appearing onstage as a child help Blunt with her stutter, but it gave her the confidence to continue performing. From there, Blunt was bitten by the acting bug, and was even discovered by her agent while she was still in school. Emily Blunt is now on the board for the American Institute for Stuttering, and she's spoken about how amazed she is with the institute's methods.
