You might best know actress Mila Kunis from her role as Jackie on “That ’70s Show.” Or maybe you know her better from “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” the breakout film she did ten years after starting her role as Jackie. On the other hand, if you’re an Ashton Kutcher fan, you might know her best as his wife and the mother of their two children. Regardless of where you know her from, chances are that you do know her. So, obviously, she’s a celebrity. What is Mila Kunis’ net worth?
Who Is Mila Kunis: Childhood
According to her IMDB profile, she was born Miléna Márkovna Kúnis. She was born to an Ashkenazi Jewish, Russian-speaking family in the Ukraine in 1983. The family consisted of her father (a mechanical engineer), her mother (a physics teacher), and her older brother Michael. When she was about eight years old they all relocated to Los Angeles. By the time that she was nine, her father had signed her up for acting classes.
Mila Kunis’ Professional Life
Within a few years of moving to LA, Mila had an agent and began to get her first professional acting jobs. She was on an episode of “Days of Our Lives” and then on the “The John Larroquette Show.” Next, she played a character named Melinda in the short film “Make a Wish, Molly.” The 1995 film is about a Russian-Jewish immigrant teased for the differences of her culture. Although Mila, then age 12, wasn’t the star of the film, she did well and her acting career began to take off.
Mila Kunis’ TV and Videos
Mila really became widely known when she began her role as Jackie in “That ’70s Show.” She held that role from 1998 – 2006. Starting in 1999, and continuing all the way through 2021, she also played the voice of Meg on “Family Guy.” But before that and all through filming the show, she also did a number of other TV and video appearances.
Those include episodes of:
- “Hudson Street”
- “Baywatch”
- “Unhappily Ever After”
- “Walker, Texas Ranger”
- “Get Real”

- “Grounded for Life”
She had recurring roles on:
- “Nick Freno: Licensed Teacher”
- “7th Heaven”
She appeared in videos including:
- “Aerosmith: Jaded”
- “American Psycho II: All American Girl”
- “The Strokes: The End Has No End.”
And she played the young version of Gia in the TV film of the same name.
Mila Kunis’ Films
Although she’s well-known for all of these TV appearances, particularly on “That ’70s Show” and “Family Guy,” she’s also proven that she has the chops for the big screen. She had small roles in a number of films throughout her career. When she played Rachel in “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” people really began to pay attention. Some of the films she’s been in since that 2008 movie include:
- “The Book of Eli”
- “Black Swan”
- “Friends with Benefits”
- “Oz The Great and Powerful”
- “Blood Ties”
- “Bad Moms” and “A Bad Moms Christmas”
- “The Spy Who Dumped Me”
- “Four Good Days”
Her most recent film credits include 2021’s “Breaking News in Yuba County,” the now-filming “Luckiest Girl Alive,” and “Jackpot,” which is in pre-production.
Mily Kunis’ Awards and Recognition
IMDB doesn’t list any big awards or nominations like Emmys. However, if you dig further, even just as far as Wikipedia, then you’ll quickly see she’s received a variety of nominations. In particular, she received a number of Oscar nominations in 2o11 for “Black Swan,” including a Best Supporting Actress Nomination. She also received an Oscar nomination for Best Actress in a Comedy for 2013’s “Ted.” Fun Fact: in those same two years she received MTV’s “best kiss” nomination for her kisses with Natalie Portman in “Black Swan” and with Mark Wahlberg in “Ted.”
Awards she’s actually won according to Wikipedia include:
- 2014’s Best Villian for “Oz The Great and Powerful” from MTV Awards
- Best Supporting Actress for “Black Swan” from Oklahoma Film Critics Circle, Saturn Awards, and Scream Awards
- Marcello Mastroianni Award for Best Young Actress for Best Young Actress, also for “Black Swan” from Venice Film Festival
- Spike Guys’ Choice Award, twice, essentially for being sexy
IMDB also makes notes that Mila Kunis regularly makes the “Top” lists, often for her looks. Way back in 2002, she ranked on Stuff magazine’s “102 Sexiest Women in the World” list in 2002. Between 2003 and 2016, she usually made the annual Maxim’s “Hot 100” list. In fact, she ranked #5 in 2009 and 2011, #3 in 2012, and #4 in 2013. She’s also regularly ranked on FHM’s “100 Sexiest Women in the World” (including the UK and Australia lists). In fact, in 2013, she reached #1 on that list. Those are just a few of the lists that essentially celebrate how gorgeous she is.
Who Is Mila Kunis: Adult Personal Life
So what’s the story behind this gorgeous woman’s real life? She met Ashton Kutcher back on “That ’70s Show.” In fact, IMDB reports that her first kiss was with him on that show. However, it took 14 years before they began a real life relationship. Kutcher was famously linked romantically with Demi Moore. And Mila’s most well-known relationship before him was with Macaulay Caulkin. She and the “Home Alone” actor broke up in 2011, the same year that Kutcher and Moore divorced.
Kunis and Kutcher reconnected at The Golden Globes the following January and began to date each other. By April, they had moved in together. (Notably, Kutcher’s divorce wasn’t finalized until about six months later.) The couple got engaged in early 2014. In October of that same year, they had their first child together, a daughter named Wyatt Isabelle. The couple married in 2015. By the end of 2016, they also had a son, Dimitri Portwood.
As far as the public can tell, they seem to have a happy relationship. They most recently made headlines because Ashton Kutcher had bought one of those tickets to fly into outer space but Mila Kunis convinced him that wasn’t the best idea now that he has a family. Of course, they have they money for those kind of extravagances, so she was probably thinking about his safety more than the finances.
Mila Kunis’ Net Worth
And what exactly are those family finances? We don’t really know how the two choose to divide their family finances. However, we do know that celebrity finance fans have calculated their net worth separately. Most reports as of 2020 and Mila Kunis’ net worth at about $66 million. However, by 2021, she’s reportedly worth $75 million. Her husband, on the other hand, is worth $200 million, due not only to his acting history but also to his venture capital investments.
Mila Kunis’ Income and Assets
Obviously, Kunis makes most of her money from her acting work. Boss Hunting reports that she earned about $225,000 per “Family Guy” episode alone. That’s a long way from the $250 total that her family came to the United States with according to Celebrity Net Worth.
It’s unclear exactly what property she owns now. Moreover, since she co-owns some with Kutcher, we can’t break down her exact assets independently. However, according to Celebrity Net Worth some of her home purchases over the years have included:
- Over one half million for a West Hollywood condo in 2002 (before she was even 20 years old)
- Nearly $2 million for a Laurel Canyon home in 2008, which she appears to have sold later for about $3.8 million
- $10.2 million for a Beverly Hills home in 2014 with Kutcher; in 2020 they listed it for sale at about $14 million
- $10 million for a new beach home with Kutcher in 2017
Their newest home, “a sustainable LA Farmhouse” on six acres, has been regularly featured in publications such as Architectural Digest.
Together, Kunis and Kutcher have owned a variety of nice cars over the years including a Tesla and a Ferrari.
