Although she was born in Mexico, Karla grew up in Aspen, Colorado, USA, and apart from Mexican, is also of Chilean ancestry from her father’s side. During her youth, she was avidly practicing gymnastics before studying acting at Mexico’s famous Centro de Educación Artística in Mexico City, which is owned by the largest Mexican mass media company – Televisa. Later, she deepened her knowledge in France, by attending acting schools and participating in the national tours of a professional theatre troupe. All these were followed by attending London’s Central School of Speech and Drama, from which she graduated in 2008, earning her Bachelor of Arts degree in acting. She then returned to Mexico, and began her acting career later that year.

Karla’s debut acting appearances occurred when she briefly appeared in “Terminales” TV series, before in 2009 being cast for the recurring role of Dana Villalba Duarte in 120 episodes of Televisa’s telenovela “Verano de Amor”. Her big screen debut came in 2010 when she got the leading female role in the comedy drama movie “El Efecto Tequila”. Between 2010 and 2011, Souza starred as Prisca in the “Los Héroes del Norte” sitcom, before appearing in a supporting role in the romantic comedy movie “From Prada to Nada”. All these engagements helped Karla Souza to establish herself as a prominent actress in the Mexican moviemaking industry, also providing the basis for her current net worth.

In the course of the next several years, Karla had made notable appearances in several movies, including “Suave Patria” (2012), “31 Días”, “Me Late Chocolate” as well as “The Noble Family” all three in 2013. For the latter performance, in which she starred as Bárbara Noble, she was honored with The Festival Pantalla de Cristal Award and the Diosa de Plata Silvia Award. However, the real breakthrough in Karla Souza’s professional career occurred in 2014 when she made her acting debut in the USA, in ABC TV’s legal drama series “How to Get Away with Murder” as Laurel Castillo, subsequently appearing in over 50 episodes through the series’ four seasons. It is certain that all these accomplishments, led by “How to Get Away with Murder” engagement, have dramatically increased the total of Karla Souza’s net worth.

Additionally, Souza had also starred in movies such as the critically acclaimed comedy drama “Instructions Not Included” (2013), “¿Qué Culpa Tiene el Niño?” (2016), and “Everybody Loves Somebody” (2017) in which she starred in the main role. Doubtlessly, these engagements only increased the size of Karla Souza’s wealth.

When it comes to her personal life, Karla has been married to banker Marshall Trenkmann since May 2014. Prior to this, between 2009 and 2010, she was in a relationship with a fellow actor Gonzalo García Vivanco. Currently, with her husband, Souza resides in Los Angeles, California, and is regularly active on social media networks, on which she is collectively followed by over three million fans.
