Samara Weaving

Samara Weaving first gained attention in her native Australia through her role as Indi Walker on the long-running soap opera Home and Away, which she joined in 2009. Born in Adelaide, South Australia, she comes from a family with entertainment connections — her uncle is Hugo Weaving, known for The Matrix trilogy and The Lord of the Rings. Despite the family ties, Samara carved out her own path through hard work and a willingness to take on bold, genre-defying roles.

Weaving’s breakout in Hollywood came with the critically acclaimed horror-comedy Ready or Not in 2019, where she played a bride fighting for survival against her murderous new in-laws. Her performance was widely praised for its mix of humor, physicality, and genuine terror, establishing her as a rising star in the genre space. She followed this with roles in films like Guns Akimbo, The Babysitter and its sequel on Netflix, and Bill and Ted Face the Music.

Her career continued to ascend with prominent roles in major studio films. She appeared in Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins in 2021 and was cast in Babylon alongside Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie in 2022. Weaving also starred in the Nine Perfect Strangers limited series on Hulu and took on the role of a young Marilyn Monroe stand-in in Ryan Murphy’s Hollywood on Netflix. Her versatility across horror, comedy, action, and drama has made her one of the most in-demand young actresses in the industry.

With her career trajectory continuing upward, Weaving’s net worth is estimated at $5 million in 2026. Her earnings come primarily from her film roles, television work, and brand partnerships. As she continues to land leading roles in high-profile projects, her wealth is expected to grow significantly in the coming years.
