Abbie Cornish Net Worth $8 Million

The second of five children born to Shelley and Barry Cornish, one of her four siblings is the actress Isabelle Cornish, known for her roles in such TV series as “Puberty Blues”, “Home and Away”, and “Inhumans”.

Abbie’s career started when she was only 13 years old, by signing with a modeling agency, while two years later she made her acting debut with a minor acting role in the TV series “Children’s Hospital”. The same year she was chosen for the role of Simone Summers in the TV series “Wildside”, while in 1999 she was Sara Boyack in the television film “Close Contact”. Abbie’s career was moving forward, and in 2000 she made her film debut with the role of Mickey Norris in the mystery thriller “The Monkey’s Mask”, starring next to Susie Porter and Kelly McGillis. The following year, Abbie portrayed Reggie McDowell in the TV series “Outriders”, and also had a role in the TV series “Life Support”. After a couple of roles in not so successful projections, Abbie starred in the romantic drama “Somersault” in 2004, with Sam Worthington and Lynette Curran, and then in 2006 made one of her most prominent appearances, the titular role in the film “Candy”, with Heath Ledger,and Geoffrey Rush, and continued with successful accomplishments such as roles in the romantic comedy “A Good Year” (2006), with Russell Crowe, then the war drama “Stop-Loss” in 2008, with Ryan Phillippe and Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the lead roles. Abbie was the lead female, while the male lead was given to Ben Whishaw in the romantic drama “Bright Star”, which is a biopic about John Keats and Fanny Brawne romance before the tragic death of the famed English 19th century poet. All these successful films added a significant amount to her net worth, while also earning her a few prestigious awards, including a couple of AFI awards.

Since hitting the new decade, Abbie has portrayed Lindy in the film “Limitless”, and Sweet Peak in “Sucker Punch”, both in 2011, while most recently she featured in the multiple Academy Award-nominated crime drama “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” (2017), all of which increased her net worth to a large degree.

She is also working on the film “Where Hands Touch”, scheduled for release late in 2018, and on the TV series “Jack Ryan”, which will also premiere in 2018.

Aside from acting, Abbie is also an accomplished musician who goes by the name MC Dusk; back in the early 2000s she was a part of the rap group, while in 2014 she joined rapper Nas on his tour through Australia, then in 2015 released two tracks “Evolve”, a duet with Jane Tyrrell, and “Way Back Home”, both available for free download on Abbie’s SoundCloud account.

When it comes to her personal life, Abbie is currently single, but from 2007 to 2010 was in a relationship with actor Ryan Phillippe.

Quote
1 Whenever I am acting, it’s everything, you know. If I’m researching a role, I’m completely consumed in that and, between action and cut, I live in this suspended time. It’s a really amazing experience and the only other thing I get it from is music.
2 I think as a child you know when it’s time for your parents to split. You realize they love each other, but they’re not in love with each other. And I think as a child it’s much better for your parents to split than for them to stay and have dysfunction within the family.
3 The hardest part is getting your clothes off at first in front of the people who haven’t seen you naked before. The first time you get nude in front of someone, it’s hard, and then it’s, ‘Well, you’ve seen everything now; it’s OK, we can shoot the rest of the day’.
