During a recent appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Anna Kendrick delighted fans with a hilarious anecdote about calling former President Barack Obama an ‘A-hole’ in a conversation that had him laughing uncontrollably. But just how much is the talented actress worth?
Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively are set to co-star in the upcoming comedy film A Simple Favor.
Hailing from Portland, Maine, Anna Kendrick began her acting career early on, receiving a Tony Award nomination for her performance in the Broadway musical High Society in 1998. She later transitioned to film, making her debut in Camp in 2003.
Following her breakout role in the indie comedy Rocket Science, Anna showcased her singing abilities in the short-lived musical drama Viva Laughlin. She then landed a supporting part in the popular Twilight franchise, portraying Bella’s friend in the film adaptations of Stephenie Meyer’s vampire novels.
Anna reprised her role in the sequels New Moon and Eclipse, continuing to solidify her presence in the entertainment industry.
In 2017, Anna Kendrick was back on the big screen as Beca Mitchell in Pitch Perfect 3, alongside her castmates. She has diversified her roles over the years, transitioning from her early days in movies like Up in the Air with George Clooney, where she earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress.

With a diverse range of projects under her belt, Anna Kendrick continues to impress audiences with her talent and versatility.
Anna Kendrick, known for her role in the 2014 Disney remake of the musical Into The Woods, is quite secretive about her relationships. In an interview with Cosmopolitan, the actress shared that there was a three-year period in her life where she didn’t date anyone.
During that time, from about 19 to 21 or 22, Anna decided to take a break from the dating scene. She felt awkward and unsure about the whole dating process, finding it a bit too formal for her liking. Despite her reservations, Anna has been romantically linked to celebrities like Jake Gyllenhaal and Edgar Wright in the past.
In a brief fling, Anna also dated Zac Efron at one point. However, since 2014, she has been in a relationship with cinematographer Ben Richardson. Described as the “most low-key lovers you’ll ever encounter” by Cosmo, their relationship is private and out of the spotlight.
Even though they are rarely seen together in public, Ben has worked on several of Anna’s projects, such as Drinking Buddies and Happy Christmas. Additionally, he has credits on popular films like The Fault in Our Stars and Beasts of the Southern Wild.
Anna Kendrick has an estimated net worth of around $14 million, mostly derived from her work in movies and television shows. She also authored a book titled Scrappy Little Nobody in 2016.
Her film Pitch Perfect was a box office hit, grossing $115 million, while its sequel raked in $287 million. Kendrick reportedly received $6 million for starring in the third film of the musical-comedy series.
Despite her minor role in the Twilight series, which earned over $3 billion globally, Kendrick was paid handsomely. She also owns a $1 million home in Los Angeles and several cars.
