Isla Fisher Net Worth $20 Million
Born in Muscat, Oman, Fisher is the daughter of Elspeth and Brian. From Muscat, their family moved to Scotland until finally they decided to set up their home in Perth, Western Australia where Fisher grew up. Early on Fisher’s talent in acting became evident, participating in various commercials and school plays at a very young age. She continued her passion for acting while attending Swanbourne Primary School and Methodist Ladies’ College.
Fisher’s early projects included the children’s shows “Bay City” and “Paradise Beach”. While acting, she also wrote on the side with the help of her mother; she wrote two best-selling novels for teens – “Bewitched” and “Seduced to Fame”. The sales of her books and her early projects as a kid already helped her jump start her net worth.
In 1994, her big break in Australian television came when she was cast in the soap opera “Home and Away”, playing the role of Shannon Reed, on which she worked with Hollywood actors Heath Ledger and Naomi Watts. Her performance in the show even earned her a nomination as Most Popular Actress in the Logie Awards in 1996. After four years, she left the show and flew to Paris to enrole at the Jacques Lecoq International School of Theatre, where she studied pantomime, clown and commedia dell’arte.
After Paris, Fisher continued her acting career though she had a hard time making it big. In 2002, she was cast to join the film “Scooby-Doo” to play the love interest of Shaggy, but although her comedic timing was great and the movie performed well at the box office, Fisher still had difficulty time making it in Hollywood.
In 2005, Fisher got her big break in Hollywood when she was cast in the comedy film “Wedding Crashers” alongside Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson. The movie became a box office success that in turn helped her net worth and her career.
After “Wedding Crashers”, opportunities in Hollywood started pouring in – some of her most memorable films include “The Wedding Daze”, “Hot Rod”, “Definitely, Maybe”, “Confessions of a Shopaholic”, “The Great Gatsby”, “Burke and Hare” and “Now You See Me”. The string of successful movies under her belt immensely helped increase her net worth, and also made her one of the most sought-after leading ladies in Hollywood.
Today, Fisher is still active in Hollywood with the movie “Grimsby”, and the television show “Arrested Development” as one of her most recent projects.
In term of her personal life, Fisher has been married to actor Sacha Baron Cohen since 2002, and together they have three children.
