Dakota Johnson has proved to love starring in a novel adaptation or two, with her most famous role playing Anastasia Steele in Fifty Shades of Grey. Her latest role sees her appear in Netflix’s adaption of the much-loved Jane Austen novel Persuasion as protagonist, Anne Elliot, which was released on Friday 15 July. Playing such famous characters must come with a juicy price tag, but what exactly is the star’s net worth?
Dakota Johnson Rise to Fame
Dakota had acting in her blood from the moment she was born with both of her parents being famous, American actors, Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith. She would often spend her younger years on film sets, gaining inspiration and a taster into a career path that she soon would take in the not too distant future.
Dakota first started out her path to stardom as a model, taking part in photoshoots with big brands such as Teen Vogue, continuing this passion alongside her acting as she grew older. She would later shoot campaigns for fashion brands such as MANGO and Wish.
Dakota’s first film appearance was in the 1999 film, Crazy in Alabama. However, her first big role was quite the wait. In 2015, she made a name for herself starring in the film adaptation of E. L. James’ book series, Fifty Shades of Grey.
Since this success, Dakota has gone on to star in big films such as How to Be Single and of course, most recently, Persuasion. However, her most recent role has come under fire by some critics.
Dakota Johnson in Persuasion
Persuasion was released on Netflix last week, being based on the novel of the same title by Jane Austen. Dakota plays the role of Anne Elliott, the least appreciated of the three Elliott sisters.
The plot revolves around Anne Elliott’s love for Captain Wentworth, as after having been persuaded by her good friend Lady Russell to give him up, realises that she cannot bare to be apart from him. Dakota’s take on Anne is one that has divided viewers with some going as far to suggest that Anne was ‘woefully miscast.’
The film attempted to make a much-loved classic relevant to modern viewers but, as such criticism suggests, it may have just missed the mark.
Dakota Johnson Net Worth
Dakota made her name in the movie Fifty Shades of Grey with it being so popular that two more films were made within the series, all of which starred Dakota as the protagonist. Being a part of such a popular series, that has earned more than $1.325 billion at the box office, the star’s net worth is bound to be staggering. According to Celebrity Net Worth, her net worth is £14 million.
