Introduction

Dakota Johnson is an American professional actress and model with an estimated net worth of $14 Million.

She made her film debut at age 10 with a minor appearance in ‘Crazy in Alabama’, a dark comedy film starring her mother.

Acting Career

Johnson made her film debut in “Crazy in Alabama” alongside her half-sister Stella Banderas, which Antonio Banderas directed in 1999. A few years later, Dakota was chosen as “Miss Golden Globe 2006,” making her the first second-generation Miss Golden Globe in Golden Globe history.

That same year, she signed with IMG Models and has since modeled for MANGO in 2009 and the Australian fashion label “Wish.” Along with modeling, Dakota started taking acting lessons and eventually signed up with the William Morris Agency, beginning her acting career.

Starring Alongside Oscar-Nominated Stars

She starred in the Oscar-nominated film The Social Network with Justin Timberlake and Jesse Eisenberg and had a small role in Beastly. In 2011, Dakota was featured in the movie Ellen and the romantic comedy The Five-Year Engagement alongside Jason Segel and Emily Blunt.

Dakota also played the female lead role in the movie “Date and Switch” and was cast as Kate in the comedy series “Ben and Kate.” Her breakthrough role was as Ana in the erotic drama Fifty Shades of Grey, which starred Jamie Dornan and brought her international attention.

Fifty Shades of Grey To SNL

Soon after, Dakota hosted the SNL’s 40th anniversary special, making her the second daughter of a former SNL host to host the show. At the same time, she reunited with Johnny Depp, her former cast member on “21 Jump Street,” to feature in his film “Black Mass.” She also starred in the thriller “A Bigger Splash” with Ralph Fiennes and Tilda Swinton, receiving praise for her outstanding performance.

In 2016, Dakota Johnson’s cover performance for a movie soundtrack earned her an invitation to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Along with being featured in the horror film Suspiria, which showcased her range and versatility, she starred in The Peanut Butter Falcon, which became one of Dakota’s highest-grossing indie films of the year and received critical acclaim for her role.

Jane Austen To Action Hero

For her outstanding performance in the film “Suspiria,” she was awarded the Robert Altman Award from the Independent Spirit Awards. A year later, she co-founded her production company to develop film and TV projects, with her first project being Coldplay’s “Cry Cry Cry” music video. She also starred in the Netflix adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel “Persuasion,” at the same time as featuring in the film “Am I OK?”

In 2024, Dakota signed with Creative Artists Agency, which led to her role in the superhero movie Madame Web, marking a notable genre introduction. It has been announced that later in the year, Johnson will appear in the upcoming film Materialists, which is written and directed by Celine Song.

Fifty Shades Trilogy Salary

In 2015, Johnson received a salary of just $250,000 for the first Fifty Shades of Grey film. Jamie Dornan also earned a $250,000 salary for co-starring in the movie. The duo also received bonuses based on the box office performance.

While Dornan reportedly later signed a $6 million, two-film contract for Darker and Freed, the specifics of Dakota’s deal were undisclosed. However, it was reported that she was seeking a similar seven-figure deal. Dornan earned $6.25 million in base salary from the trilogy, and Dakota likely earned around the same.
