Mila Kunis, an actress born in Ukraine, has an estimated net worth of $75 million. When her husband Ashton Kutcher’s fortune of $200 million is included, their collective wealth rises to $275 million.

Kunis’ family relocated to the United States when she was seven years old, sparking her passion for acting. At 14, she landed her first major role as Jackie Burkhart on the popular sitcom “That ’70s Show” (1998-2006), where her depiction of a rich, self-absorbed girl made her one of the show’s standout characters and marked her entry into the entertainment industry.

Her career took off in 2008 when she received widespread praise for her role in the romantic comedy “Forgetting Sarah Marshall.” As a vivacious hotel receptionist, she demonstrated her comedic skills and her capacity to lead major films. This success opened doors for more significant roles, including her noteworthy performance in “Black Swan” (2010). As a rival ballet dancer opposite Natalie Portman, Kunis delivered a nuanced and powerful performance, earning nominations for both the Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Continuing to showcase her versatility, Kunis participated in various genres, displaying her comedic chops in “Ted” (2012) and its sequel, while also playing the witch Theodora in “Oz the Great and Powerful” (2013). Her role in “Friends with Benefits” (2011) alongside Justin Timberlake further confirmed her status as a leading actress in the realm of romantic comedies.

Aside from her film work, Kunis has lent her voice to the character Meg Griffin on the animated series “Family Guy,” a role she has held since 1999.

Early Life

Mila Markovna Kunis was born on August 14, 1983, in Chernivtsi, Ukraine. She lived there until the age of seven, when her family made the decision to immigrate to Los Angeles, California, taking only $250 with them. Although not impoverished, this was the maximum sum permitted, and none of her parents’ qualifications were acknowledged in the United States.

The move from the Soviet Union was prompted by increasing antisemitism and a lack of future prospects for Mila and her brother. Kunis faced challenges adjusting in elementary school; however, she soon began appearing on That ’70s Show shortly after enrolling in high school. She received tutoring on set to help her obtain her GED.

Career

At nine, Mila Kunis embarked on an acting career through an after-school program. Her talent was quickly recognized, leading a manager to start submitting her for auditions. She landed her first role in a Barbie commercial, followed by appearances on shows like Days of Our Lives, Baywatch, and 7th Heaven.

In 1998, at just 14 years old, Mila Kunis was cast as Jackie Burkhart in That ’70s Show. The show became a cultural phenomenon, running for eight successful seasons. Surprisingly, Kunis portrayed an 18-year-old character despite her young age. Nevertheless, the producers…

She was considered a perfect fit and eventually earned multiple awards for her performance on the show.

In Seth MacFarlane’s animated comedy series Family Guy, just one year later, Kunis landed the role of “Meg.” She continues to lend her voice to the character, with Seth MacFarlane initially commending Kunis for her authentic teenage voice (being a real teen herself). Meg, who is widely disliked by the other characters, is described by Kunis as a “scapegoat.”

By 2001, the transition for Mila Kunis from television to more significant film roles had begun. She started with an appearance alongside Kirsten Dunst in Get Over It. Subsequently, she was featured in less successful films such as American Psycho 2, Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding, and Moving McAllister. It wasn’t until the conclusion of That 70s Show that Kunis truly displayed her potential as a film actress. Her breakthrough role came in 2006 with a well-received performance in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which also enjoyed box office success, grossing over $105 million worldwide.

Her subsequent film was Max Payne, released in 2008. The movie achieved good box office performance but received negative reviews from critics.

The film received numerous awards and was nominated for five Academy Awards. Mila Kunis also garnered many personal accolades for her performance. Additionally, Black Swan achieved commercial success, raking in $329 million globally.

Following this, she starred in Friends With Benefits in 2011, another box office success, in which she shared the screen with Justin Timberlake. The film grossed nearly $150 million worldwide. Nevertheless, the success of these films would pale against Kunis’ next project: Ted. Directed by Seth MacFarlane, Kunis was cast as the girlfriend of Mark Wahlberg’s character, and the film impressively grossed $549 million at the box office. In 2013, she portrayed Theodora the Witch in Disney’s Oz the Great and Powerful. This film also turned out to be another massive box office success, earning over $493 million. That year, she starred in Blood Ties, which premiered at Cannes, and concluded the year with Third Person, which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival.

Mila Kunis co-founded a production company named Orchard Farm Productions in 2014. The following year, she starred in the disappointing sci-fi film Jupiter Ascending. Although her next film, Bad Moms, achieved box office success, it was critically panned. The same scenario unfolded for its sequel, A Bad Moms Christmas. In 2018, Kunis assumed a central role in The Spy Who Dumped and continued to expand her repertoire.

Me, a box office success that received mixed reviews. In 2020, Kunis took part in the film Four Good Days, which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival.
