Zoe Saldaña's Net Worth Makes Her the Queen of Every Universe
With the release of Avatar: Fire and Ash, the world is once again returning to the planet of Pandora. This means the return of Sam Worthington as Jake Sully and, of course, Zoe Saldaña as Neytiri, a role she's played since 2009. But it's not like Saldaña's career is just limited to her Avatar fame. In fact, she's been ruling several sci-fi universes simultaneously for a while now.
Here's Saldaña's current net worth, how she made her fortune, and a quick guide to streaming her best movies.
Zoe Saldaña's Net Worth
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Zoe Saldaña's current estimated net worth is $60 million. This puts her in the same range as her Avatar co-star Sam Worthington, and interestingly, about double that of her Star Trek co-star Chris Pine, whose net worth is $35 million.
Saldaña has been acting for a very long time, and serious fans may remember her as one of Britney Spears' friends in the 1999 film Crossroads. Other early roles included 2003's Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, in which she played, yes, a pirate, and the cult classic 2002 film Drumline.
But 2009 was the big year of Saldaña's rise to fame as she starred in two of the biggest movies of that year, the J.J. Abrams Star Trek reboot and, of course, at the end of that year, James Cameron's Avatar. In Star Trek, Saldaña made history becoming the second woman ever to play the iconic character of Uhura, originated by Nichelle Nichols in 1966. By 2014, Saldaña made the leap to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, playing Gamora in James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy.
In 2025, she won Best Supporting Actress at the Academy Awards for her role in Emilia Pérez. Avatar: Fire and Ash is her third film in that franchise and, recently, in conversation with Men's Journal, she revealed it was a deeply emotional film to make.
