She’s also just a really talented actress.

Emma Stone’s career has been nothing short of stunning. From her breakout role in the 2007 comedy Superbad and her stint as Mia in La La Land to her recent award-winning role as Bella Baxter in Poor Things, she’s an undeniable talent. But before she was the multiple-Oscar-winning star she is today, Stone was just like any other aspiring actor trying to find her way in Hollywood.

“I had a casting director, Allison Jones, she called me in for a bunch of things in those three years between 15 and 18 when I was auditioning all the time,” she said in a 2021 interview with The Denver Post. “I’d go in to network for a series and not get it,” she recounted. Jones would call her in for something else she wouldn’t get.

“Then she called me on a Friday and asked me to come in on a Saturday when no one else was coming in. But she had a feeling about something. She put me on tape for Superbad, which ended up being my first movie.”

Since her breakout role, Stone has gone on to do some pretty great (and very funny) movies. Below we dive into her net worth and the career that made her the A-lister she is today.

Emma Stone’s Net Worth

Emma Stone has an estimated net worth of around $40 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. While this is an unconfirmed number, Stone’s jaw-dropping net worth most likely comes from her many movie parts, from her lead role in Easy A to her other performances in movies like Superbad, The House Bunny, The Help, Crazy, Stupid, Love, and La La Land.

Emma Stone’s Noteworthy Career in Hollywood

While most people first started to recognize Stone after her role in Superbad, her acting career started several years before. Prior to her years as a well-known celebrity, she spent years as a supporting actor in television series like Medium, Malcolm in the Middle, and Lucky Louie. 

Superbad

In 2007, she landed her first major role in Superbad, playing Jules, a high school senior Seth (Jonah Hill) meets in economics class. After they’re partnered up in class, Jules invites Seth to her blowout party where he promises to bring alcohol. While Stone didn’t finish high school, she was just 17 years old when the film was produced.

While most kids her age were going to parties like the ones she pretended to be attending in movies, her graduation came on the big screen.

“I did Superbad in what would’ve been my senior year,” she told Vanity Fair. “I was playing a senior, and had I graduated I would’ve missed that opportunity, and had I missed that opportunity I wouldn’t be here right now.”
