Roberts initially aspired to become a veterinarian but shifted her focus to acting after moving to New York City. Her big break came in 1988 with “Mystic Pizza,” quickly followed by her iconic role in “Pretty Woman” (1990) which catapulted her to international stardom. This romantic comedy, which initially had a darker script, became a quintessential love story, earning Roberts a second Oscar nomination and solidifying her status as America’s sweetheart.

Over the years, Roberts became one of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood, earning significant fees for films like “Erin Brockovich,” for which she won an Academy Award, and “Ocean’s Eleven.” She has consistently commanded between $20 to $30 million annually from her film roles and endorsements, amassing a fortune estimated at $250 million.
