About Gal Gadot
Gal Gadot was born in Petah Tikva where at 18 she was crowned Miss Israel. As a supermodel and as an actress she was propelled into stardom after starring in the the billion dollar Fast & Furious franchise. From there, she earned several more high profile roles. Casting agents were eager to select her, not just because of her beauty, but because of her experience in martial arts and her fluid acting skills.
On top of her well rounded film career, the actress is also the brand ambassador for several companies such as Miss Sixty, Captain Morgan, and Vine Vera skincare. Gadot’s most successful movies include Fast & Furious 6, Wonder Woman, and The Justice League, and not only has she earned large paychecks from these roles, but she has also been listed as one of the “100 Most Influential People” according to Time magazine. In terms of earnings, it is estimated that Gal Gadot has earned income equal to a salary of $13 million dollars per year since 2019.
After winning Miss Israel and competed for Miss Universe in 2004, Gadot set her sights on becoming an actress. Though she gained small roles here and there, they were nothing more than bit parts. Everything changed for her however, after she was cast in the role of Gisele Yashar in 2009’s Fast & Furious.
With the movie being a semi reboot of the franchise, which had the intention of recapturing the original audience that the studio had lost with The Fast & The Furious: Tokyo Drift, Gadot knew that the was a lot of opportunity that came with the role. As the fourth entry in the series went back to the franchise’s roots by pairing together Vin Diesel and Paul Walker once more, it was a huge financial success that led to several more sequels. Gadot was along for the ride as she earned a bigger role and more screen time with each consecutive release.
Though she was killed off in Fast & Furious 6, she had a major role in three of the movies, became a favorite character amongst fans of the series, and grew her profile exponentially as each film made hundreds of millions of dollars. However, that was nothing compared about what was to come.
For the 2017 Action/Adventure Wonder Woman, Zack Snyder cast Gadot for the lead and as part of the DC Cinematic Universe. Some fans were initially disappointed with Gadot in the role of Wonder Woman, as the superhero is supposed to be brawn, and Gadot was incredibly skinny at the time. However, Gadot hit the gym and bulked up, surprising everybody except herself. The actress has starred in multiple movies now as the female superhero, and Wonder Woman 3 has also been announced with Gadot again taking the lead.
It may come as a surprise, but Gadot’s salary for Wonder Woman was as little as $300,000. This caused controversy because most male actors playing superheroes often make tens of millions of dollars. It is even more daunting when the film was one of Warner Bros’ biggest successes in years, making $822.3 million. However, her salary for Wonder Woman 1984, saw her salary increase to $10 million; 33 times more than what she earned for the original movie.
After working with Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins, Gadot has said of her experience, “”All my life, I’ve been working with male directors, which I’ve really enjoyed. And I’m lucky in that I’ve worked with men who have a lot of respect for women. But working with a woman is a different experience. It feels like the communication is different.” Patty also likes Gal Gadot, one of the reasons is because Gadot often performs her own stunts and understands stunt coordination much better than most other actors, which is an actions director’s delight.
Gadot also has an eagerness and a readiness to learn, as she prepared for the role of Wonder Woman in Batman vs. Superman by training in swordsmanship, Kung Fu, kickboxing, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. It’s thanks to this intense training that made her a stand out in the movie, as her training was clearly well represented on-screen. “The Wonder Woman that you see in ‘Batman v Superman’ is a woman who has been around, and she’s very experienced. She understands a lot about man. Whereas, in the standalone movie, we are telling the grown-up story, Diana becoming Wonder Woman, and this was a story that was never told before,” Gadot has said.
The actress has also turned to producing, a smart move that actors often take in their mid-30s to have more control over their appearances. She formed the production company Pilot Wave with her husband, and it will be producing an AppleTV+ series about Hedy Lamarr, to which Gadot will also be starring. Gadot is evolving with the industry, as she has the foresight to work not only with huge movie studios, but with streaming services too.

Gal Gadot married Israeli film producer and property mogul Jaron Varsano, in 2008, and they remain together.

I can work for three months, and then I can have six months off,” Gadot has said.
Varsano is one of the richest businessmen in real estate in Israel, with a net worth of around $50 million dollars. Together, Gadot and Varsano have made lucrative property deals both at home in Israel and also in the United States.

The couple has also purchased property in Malibu, a $5 million dollar oceanfront condo. An ideal haven while Gadot is working on her latest Hollywood movie. They also have another property in the Hollywood Hills. In Israel, they have a film production company together, Pilot Wave.
In her personal life, Gadot has described herself as someone who “doesn’t take herself too seriously” and who “like to make jokes and have a good time.” Considering her fun loving and carefree attitude it is unlikely that she has spent money in states of depression or tried to dispose of money as some others have shown tendencies to do. It is also less likely that she has encountered many losses in business and investing, considering her husband’s skills and expertise in this area.
Gadot has never had any trouble with alcohol and rather is someone who wants to be a role model for others. “I feel that I’ve got the opportunity to set a great role model for girls to look up to a strong, active, compassionate, loving, positive woman, and I think it’s so important,” she has said.
Gadot has likely spent $2-3 million dollars of her career earnings but also probably possesses assets valued at around $1 million, not including investment assets. In her investments, she may have earned investment returns of $6-8 million dollars. Therefore, it is estimated that Gal Gadot has a net worth of around $30 million dollars.
