Ever since her scene-stealing turn as Emily Charlton in The Devil Wears Prada (2006), the sharp-tongued assistant to Runway editor Miranda Priestly (played by Meryl Streep), Emily Blunt has captivated audiences with her commitment to — and her empathy toward — the characters she portrays.
That role required both vulnerability and perfect comedic timing, traits Blunt has seamlessly translated into action films, rom-coms, and even sci-fi and horror, which is why the actor has remained in demand for two decades, amassing a substantial net worth in the process.
Blunt already had a lucrative start to 2026 with the release of The Devil Wears Prada 2, which grossed $665 million worldwide on a $100 million budget. Blunt reportedly took home $12.5 million for reprising her role as Charlton, now head of Dior US.
On June 12, 2026, Blunt again takes center stage, this time starring in Steven Spielberg’s sci-fi thriller Disclosure Day, playing Margaret Fairchild, a Kansas City weatherperson who develops magical abilities and gets swept up in a dangerous world of whistleblowers and government cover-ups.
According to Variety, Blunt took home $15 million for her Disclosure Day role, which places her among the world’s highest-paid female actors.
So, just how much wealth does she have in 2026?

What is Emily Blunt’s net worth in 2026?
According to both Parade and Celebrity Net Worth, Emily Blunt has an estimated net worth of $100 million in 2026 — but there’s a catch.
Both publications report that the number is Blunt’s net worth combined with that of her husband, John Krasinski.
Celebrity Net Worth says that both actors have “equally attributable” fortunes, but it estimates that Krasinski’s is slightly higher, which means Blunt’s net worth could be somewhere in the $40 million range.
This makes sense, considering that Blunt didn’t reportedly start earning eight-figure paychecks until 2021, when she made between $12 and $13 million for starring in A Quiet Place Part 2, written and directed by — you guessed it — her husband Krasinski.

Still largely unknown when The Devil Wears Prada came out, Blunt reportedly did not make as much as her co-star, Anne Hathaway, who was said to have brought home her first million-dollar paycheck for that role, and so it’s safe to say that the past decade is where Blunt has made the bulk of her fortune.
Here’s a look at how Blunt’s earnings have accelerated through the years:

Emily Blunt’s early life and acting career
Emily Olivia Laura Blunt was born on February 23, 1983, in London, England. Her mother, Joanna Mackie, was an actress and English teacher, while her father, Oliver Blunt, was a trial attorney. Blunt has three siblings: Felicity, Susannah, and Sebastian.
A self-described “shy and awkward child,” Blunt had a stutter well into her teenage years. “It wasn’t the whole part of me; it was just a part of who I was,” Blunt told Marie Claire, adding, “there were certain people who liked to define me by that — it was tough.”
With great foresight, one of her teachers suggested she take part in the school play, using a different accent. “That was a very liberating thing for me as a kid,” she said. “Suddenly, I had a fluency. The removal of yourself from yourself, in some ways, was freeing.”

At age 16, she attended Hurtwood House boarding school, where she began to work with acting coach Adrian Rawlins, who also played Harry Potter’s Dad, James Potter, in the blockbuster series.
One of the school’s productions appeared in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and Blunt was discovered and signed by an agent.
When she was 18, Blunt was cast in a West End production, The Royal Family, which also starred Dame Judi Dench, who took her under her wing as a mentor. “It doesn’t surprise me at all where she is,” Dench later proclaimed of Blunt. “I am thrilled that she is a big beautiful star.”
The Devil Wears Prada holds a special place in Blunt’s heart: Not only did it establish her stardom; it also defined the roles she wanted to pursue. “[Prada] helped reveal a certain part of me; I wasn’t just the ingenue or the English rose,” she told Vulture. “It helped me be seen as a character actor, which is what I’d always wanted.”
Emily Blunt’s business ventures
Blunt has been the face of the YSL Opium perfume — and in a twist of fate, the campaign was shot by Patrick Demarchelier, who served as one of her character’s most memorable lines in The Devil Wears Prada. She has also endorsed the luxury Swiss watch brand IWC Schaffhausen.
In terms of charitable ventures, Blunt serves on the board of directors of the American Institute for Stuttering and has also raised funds for the Malala Fund.

Emily Blunt’s personal life
Blunt dated singer Michael Bublé from 2005 to 2008. When that relationship ended, a friend set her up to meet John Krasinski, and she reportedly knew it was love at first sight. The pair became engaged in 2009 and were married at George Clooney’s estate in Lake Como, Italy, on July 10, 2010.
Blunt and Krasinski share two daughters: Hazel (born 2014) and Violet (born 2016).

Coincidentally, Blunt’s Devil Wears Prada co-star, Stanley Tucci, fell in love with her sister, Felicity, who works as a literary agent in London.
The two briefly met during the film’s 2006 premiere while Tucci was married to his first wife, Kate. After Kate’s death from breast cancer in 2009, Tucci and Felicity met again at Blunt and Krasinski’s wedding, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Currently, they live in a Brooklyn Heights condo they purchased by combining two properties together for $11 million. They also reportedly own a home in London.
