Here's What Gemma Chan Is Worth

British actress Gemma Chan is best known for playing Astrid in the 2018 film "Crazy Rich Asians." Before starring in international blockbusters, Chan was an extremely hard-working student. She excelled at school and was an amazing swimmer and violinist (via InStyle). Chan even attended the exclusive Oxford University to study law (does she offer life lessons? Asking for a friend). While at Oxford, Chan was offered a job at a major firm, but decided to apply to the Drama Centre London at Central Saint Martins.

Chen applied in secret because she didn't want to upset her parents, but knew she had to pursue a career in acting for herself. She told InStyle, "I knew I'd probably be a miserable lawyer. It is a privilege to be able to take a chance, but if you can, it is better to try and fail. Disappointment is temporary, but regret lasts forever." True that. Judging by the way the starlet's career panned out, her bravery certainly paid off.

Since attending drama school in London, Gemma Chan has made it big in Hollywood. According to IMDb, the 38-year-old actress currently has 44 acting credits to her name. Some of her most notable roles were in J.K. Rowling's "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," Steven Soderbergh's "Let Them All Talk," and the Academy Award-nominated "Mary Queen of Scots." However, Chan's breakout role was undeniably in "Crazy Rich Asians." The rising star played Astrid, a beautiful socialite and the most down-to-earth member of the notorious Young family. The film earned wide critical acclaim and raked in over $240 million worldwide (via InStyle).

Chan is currently set to star as the lead character in Marvel's highly anticipated film "Eternals" (via Syfy Wire). Chan will star alongside Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, Kit Harington, and many more Hollywood A-listers. The project will be directed by Academy Award-winning director Chloé Zhao and is currently slated to be released in late 2021 (via Games Radar). Chan is also slated to star in Olivia Wilde's thriller "Don't Worry Darling" (via IMDb).

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Chan is worth $6 million as of 2021.
