Amid the buzz of Hollywood, Jessie Buckley has quietly been making waves, building an impressive resume over the past few years. The big break came when she turned Agnes Shakespeare in Hamnet, portraying a mother brought to her knees by the loss of her son. Her performance earned glowing praise from critics and more projects.

While social media may have noticed her talent recently, Buckley has been in the industry for years, quietly honing her skills and amassing impressive earnings. So, it is worth taking a closer look at how much she has earned so far.

Many might remember Jessie Buckley’s appearance in the BBC television talent show I'd Do Anything in 2008, which was to find Nancy in a West End revival of the musical Oliver! She cut her teeth in theatre playing different roles before turning heads on screen with roles in Wild Rose, The Lost Daughter, followed by Chernobyl and Fargo. Throughout her career, the Irish actress has built a net worth of $3 million, as per Celebrity Net Worth. 

Safe to say, her net worth as reported by Celebrity Net Worth will only increase after her terrific performance as Agnes Shakespeare in Hamnet. While she earned a BAFTA nomination for her role in Wild Rose (2018), Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet saw her win the 2026 Golden Globes and Critics' Choice Award. Playing versatile roles, including powerful and complicated characters, she is a generational talent.

As she sets her sights on the Academy Awards following her Best Supporting Actress nomination, Buckley already has another film lined up, in which she takes on yet another iconic maternal role in a project directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Jessie Buckley will turn to play the iconic role of reimagined Bride of Frankenstein in The Bride! In Maggie Gyllenhaal’s bold, punk-tinged take on the classic story, Buckley’s character is resurrected with no memory of who she once was, only a fierce need to figure it out for herself. Her character is hinted to have embraced chaos, desire, and rebellion as she barrels through 1930s Chicago, labeled a 'monster.'

As Gyllenhaal has shared, this character finally has much to say, and Buckley lets every emotion spill out as seen in the trailer. It is a role that will present the Bride not as an accessory to Frankenstein’s story, but as the beating heart of the movie, which already boasts a spectacular cast. 

Now, Buckley is no stranger to playing challenging characters like the Bride. And the trailer is quite a good indication that she is set to impress fans and critics alike. When that happens, the actress will have more lucrative opportunities to boost her networth.
