Riley Keough Net Worth $20 Million

Keough entered the modeling world during her teenage years, making her first appearance on a runway for Dolce & Gabbana in 2004, then in 2006 she appeared on the catwalk at the prestigious Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. She went on to appear on the cover of Vogue, along with her mother and grandmother, and also on the cover of the French, UK and Japanese issues of Elle. Keough has featured in a number of major magazines during her modeling career, such as L’Officiel, Jalouse, Harpers Bazaar, Nylon, Telva, Vanity Fair, Russh, Zoo, Flaunt and Pop, and had photo spreads in Vogue UK, Vogue Russia and Tatler Russia issues. In 2009 she was involved in a campaign for Mango in Spain, but all these activities contributed to her net worth.

The following year Keough began pursuing her acting career, making her film debut in the supporting role of Marie Curie in the biographical drama “The Runaways”, based on the ’70s rock band of the same name. The following year she was cast in the lead role of patient Diane Nixon in the thriller film “The Good Doctor”, starring Orlando Bloom and Taraji P. Henson. Her popularity in the film industry rapidly grew, and her net worth rose further, too.

Keough replaced actress Olivia Thirlby as the protagonist Jack in the 2012 horror film “Jack & Diane”, and played young stripper Nora in the 2012 comedy/drama film about a group of male strippers called “Magic Mike”. Also in 2012 she played Anne in the vampire film “Kiss of the Damned”, and co-stared as Young Amanda in the drama film “Yellow”. All added to her wealth.

In 2015 she took the starring role as Capable in the fourth installment of the Mad Max franchise, “Mad Max: Fury Road”, which won a number of nominations, and the same year she starred as Rachel in the crime drama “Dixieland”. The year 2016 was very productive too for the young actress; she took the starring role as Sarah in the drama “Lovesong”, and then as Krystal in the drama road film “American Honey”. Keough subsequently starred as Christina Reade, a law student intern who also works as a high-end escort, in the television drama series “The Girlfriend Experience”, earning rave reviews for her performance and improving her net worth as well. In mid-2016 she was cast in the drama film “We Don’t Belong Here”, then the comedy “Logan Lucky”, and the horror “It Comes at Night”, indicating her versatility and popularity with directors and audiences. She also appeared in “The Discovery”, and most recently in “Welcome the Stranger” with Abbey Lee and Caleb Landry Jones, “Hold the Dark” directed by Jeremy Saulnier,, plus “The House That Jack Built” directed by Lars Von Trier, all currently in post-production. No doubt her net worth continues to grow.

When it comes to her personal life, Keough was engaged to actor Alex Pettyfer, but after their separation, she married stuntman Ben Smith-Petersen in 2015.

Quote
1 My favourite style icon is Jimi Hendrix. Am I allowed to say that? I just love all of the jewelry he wore and all of his elaborate colors. I like anyone who dresses in an interesting way. If I could raid anyone’s closet it would be My moms. She’s got the most beautiful coats and shoes that I very seldom get to borrow. It would be fun to tear apart the entire thing just to make my point
2 My favorite brands : “Celine, for its simple elegance, Louis Vuitton and Prada, for their blend of classicism and avant-garde, and Chanel … because it’s Chanel”
3 I’m kind of shy and quiet. But I’m only shy in my personal life. If I’m working, somehow I’m not and it goes away.
4 I think acting is a fun thing because you get to have so many lifetimes in one lifetime, being all these different people.
5 I feel like the original ‘Mad Max’ created such a vivid world, that to go back and re-imagine it and kind of replay in that sandbox sounds like fun to me.
6 Life changes so quickly. feeling grateful to be around such wonderful people to strengthen and grow with.
7 Music is my favorite thing in the world. I grew up completely around it and I think it’s one of the most important things to me, but at this point I can’t see myself doing that professionally. Luckily, for the most part, I don’t feel pressured.
