Hailee Steinfeld is an established singer, actress and model. She made her break-out role in the Pitch Perfect series, and her most popular song, "Starving" with Zedd and Grey peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Before Pitch Perfect, Steinfeld starred in numerous other films including True Grit, Romeo & Juliet, Begin Again, Hateship, Loveship and more. True Grit earned her nominations for Best Supporting Actress for the Academy Award, BAFTA and SAG Award. And she went on to have a successful career after Pitch Perfect, which set up her music career.
The "Wrong Direction" singer did not star in the original Pitch Perfect, but did star in its sequels. However, some fans do not want her in the rumored Pitch Perfect 4.
She turned heads at the Met Gala and is going to star in the upcoming Hawkeye series, which will definitely put some more money in the bank for her. Here's how her net worth grew after Pitch Perfect.
9 Her Role In 'Pitch Perfect'
Hailee Steinfeld played Emily Junk, freshman and newcomer, in Pitch Perfect 2. Junk is the daughter of a former Bella, Katherine Junk. She eventually joins the Barden Bellas at Barden University. In the beginning of the movie, she is very shy and nervous, but by the end Junk is very confident and excited about being a Bella. This role pushed her into fame and made her singing abilities known by singing "Flashlight" in the film. In the same year, she was signed to a label and released her debut single, "Love Myself."
8 Hailee Steinfeld's Net Worth Then
Even though Steinfeld is most known for Pitch Perfect, she did act before then, raking in some money from those films. Glamour Patch reports that for her role in Pitch Perfect 2, she was paid $4 million. The movie made over $287,000,000 worldwide. She was probably paid even more for starring in Pitch Perfect 3. That was just the beginning for her. Since then, her net worth has nearly doubled.
7 Signs With Republic Records
After her impressive performance in Pitch Perfect 2, record deals were being thrown out to the actress and she was soon signed with Republic Records in May 2015 after playing some of her music in front of a label representative in New York City. She released her debut-double platinum single, "Love Myself." In July of that year, she released an acoustic version of Shawn Mendes' single, "Stitches," with him. In November 2015, she released her debut EP, Haiz, which received mixed reviews from critics.
6 Hailee Steinfeld's Music Career
After that, she collaborated with DNCE, Zedd and many other artists. Her double-platinum selling smash hit, "Starving," was released in July 2016 and put her on the Billboard, making it her biggest hit to date. After that, her music career took off. In April 2017, Steinfeld released the platinum-selling Summer anthem, "Most Girls," which peaked at number 58 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. She released other singles after that. In 2020, Steinfeld came out with two singles, "Wrong Direction" and "I Love Yous" off her EP, Half Written Story. "Wrong Direction" became very famous because it was rumored be about her ex-boyfriend, Niall Horan.
Her music has racked up millions of streams, which earns her a bunch of money.
5 Her Acting Career After 'Pitch Perfect'
After Pitch Perfect 2, Steinfeld went on to make even more money by continuing to star in movies. Along with Pitch Perfect 3, her acting credits include Charlie's Angels, Bumblebee, Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, The Edge of Seventeen and more. Bumblebee, being part of the Transformers franchise, earned over $400,000,000 worldwide. Into The Spider-Verse grossed over $375 million worldwide. Being in remotely popular movies has helped with her net worth.
4 Touring
Although Hailee Steinfeld has yet to tour on her own, she has been an opener for pretty famous singers. Her first tour was in 2016 with Meghan Trainor on the Untouchable Tour. Then, in 2018, she went on to open for two more singers- Katy Perry's Witness: The Tour and Charlie Puth's Voicenotes Tour. She was even a special guest for one of her ex-boyfriend, Niall Horan's shows on the Flicker World Tour. When it is completely safe to tour again, Steinfeld will probably tour on her own or open up for another artist.
3 'Dickinson'
Dickinson is an Apple TV+ show that follows the life of Emily Dickinson. According to Deadline Hollywood, the show takes place "during Emily Dickinson's era with a modern sensibility and tone. It takes viewers into the world of Emily, audaciously exploring the constraints of society, gender, and family from the perspective of a budding writer who doesn't fit in to her own time through her imaginative point of view. Dickinson is Emily's coming-of-age story – one woman's fight to get her voice heard."
Steinfeld plays the lead role. It was first released in November 2019 and the third and final season will premiere in November 2021. Playing another lead role in a show has definitely increased her net worth.
2 Hailee Steinfeld's Current Net Worth
Currently, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Steinfeld's net worth is estimated around $10 million. Just last year, multiple outlets were reporting it to be around $8 million, so her projects in the last few years have definitely increased her net worth and earnings. Although she may not be one of the richest in Hollywood, she has enough to buy cars and live the life she feels comfortable in.
1 Upcoming Projects
While Dickinson is wrapping up, Steinfeld will be starring in Hawkeye, an upcoming Disney Plus series, where she will play Kate Bishop, who later assume the role of Hawkeye. She will also reprise her role in the untitled Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse sequel, where she will voice Gwen Stacy/ Spider Gwen. These roles will only add to her net worth as actors involved with the MCU usually get paid a pretty penny. As long as she continues to act and make music, her net worth will only increase.
