Emma Roberts Net Worth

What is Emma Roberts' Net Worth and Salary?

Emma Roberts is an American actress, model, and singer who has a net worth of $25 million. Emma is the daughter of Eric Roberts and the niece of Julia Roberts. Emma Roberts grew up with her mother, Kelly Cunningham after her parents divorced while she was an infant. She had minimal contact with her father, but she began visiting her aunt, Julia Roberts, on set when she was in elementary school. This led to her first acting gig as Johnny Depp's character, George Jung's daughter, Kristina Jung, in the film, "Blow."  Since then, she has enjoyed a quite steady and successful career, with a starring role on the hit Disney series, "Unfabulous," and leading roles in such films as "Nancy Drew," "Hotel for Dogs,"  "Scream 4", and "The Art of Getting By".  She has also released an album, as all Disney starlets do, and has become something of a fashionista, appearing on multiple "Best Dressed" lists and garnering headlines for her edgy beachwear choices.  In other words, she has stepped out of her famous family's shadow somewhat and has come into her own. In September 2020, Emma inked a valuable first-look production deal with Hulu.
