Olivia Munn Net Worth $15 Million
Olivia Munn spent most of her childhood in Tokyo, Japan, as her mother married her stepfather who was a member of US Air Force and was stationed for a while in Japan. Around this time, Olivia started her career as a model and worked in the fashion industry until her parents separated. Munn then returned to Oklahoma with her mother, and was educated at Putnam City North High School, matriculating to attend the University of Oklahoma, majoring in journalism with minors in Japanese and dramatic arts.
Olivia graduated with a BA degree in journalism, and before pursuing an acting career worked as a sideline reporter and had an internship at KJRH-TV in Tulsa, but soon moved out to Los Angeles in order to follow her dream. One of the first films that Olivia appeared in was the low-budget horror movie called “Scarecrow Gone Wild, that features Ken Schamrock and Tara Platt. Some of Munn’s other early on-screen appearances include “Strip Poker”, the teen drama series “Beyond the Break”, as well as “The Road to Canyon Lake”. These laid the basis to her net worth.
In 2006, Munn was given a position as a co-host on a live television program that primarily focused on reviewing video games and digital media, entitled “Attack of the Show!”, on which she worked alongside Kevin Pereira. Munn remained on the show for four years, until she was replaced in 2010, but during her time Munn had also been participating in many other projects. In 2007, Olivia had a role in Rob Schneider’s comedy film “Big Stan”, and later appeared in “Iron Man 2” with Robert Downey Jr. Munn’s versatile and frequent on-screen appearances have made a significant impact on her net worth.
In 2010, Munn worked as a correspondent for “The Daily Show”, and that same year starred alongside Zachary Levi and Yvonne Strahovski in the television series “Chuck”. More recently since 2015 she has voiced the character Phoebe Callisto in the animated series “Miles from Tomorrowland” on Disney Junior, and in 2016 was cast as Elizabeth Braddock/Psylocke in “X-Men: Apocalypse” to be reprised in the sequel “X-Men: Dark Phoenix” in 2018, adding to her net worth.
Even though Olivia Munn’s acting career is the main source for her wealth, it is not the only way she has managed to accumulate her net worth. Munn has been modeling for such famous brands as skin care and cosmetics distributor Neutrogena, Pepsi, as well as Nike, and has been a regular face on the covers of several magazines – Olivia has been featured as the Babe of the Month for Playboy, the bi-monthly magazine “Complex”, “Men’s Health” and an Italian issue of “Vanity Fair”.
As mentioned, Olivia Munn is also an author; her book entitled “Suck It, Wonder Woman: The Misadventures of a Hollywood Geek” was published in 2012, and added somewhat to her net worth.
In her personal life, Olivia dated actor Joel Kinnaman (2012-2014), since when she dated NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers until recently. A strong supporter of PETA’s organization, Olivia Munn has modeled for several of their campaigns in order to attract attention to animal cruelty issues.
