With an estimated net worth of $80 million, no wonder Keira Knightley was all smiles when arriving at her movie ‘Colette’ premiere in Paris, France.

The movie was released in the U.S. in September 2018 and slowly made its way to theaters around the world. France was one of the last countries to get the movie. It was directed by Wash Westmoreland and is based on the life of the French novelist Colette.

Keira Knightley is one of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood—her earnings from a single film range from $5 million to $7 million. For example, she was paid $5 million for her role in the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie, and her salary increased for the sequels.

For the premiere in the French capital, the English actress flaunted her toned legs in a classic Chanel Haute Couture ensemble and metallic pumps.

While Keira reportedly earned $5 million to $7 million per film for her role as Elizabeth Swann (later Elizabeth Turner) in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series, she received a much lower salary for her performance in the relatively low-budget film ‘Colette.’

She also earned $4 million for her role in the romantic wartime drama Atonement and $5.5 million for the biographical World War 2 drama The Imitation Game.

Despite her wealth, Keira is determined to stay grounded. In a 2014 interview with Glamour Magazine, she revealed that she gives herself an annual allowance of just $50,000.

“Yes, it’s something around that. I mean, if I want or need something that goes over that, I get it, but, yes, around that.”

“I think living an expensive lifestyle means you can’t hang out with people who don’t live that lifestyle,” Keira added. “It alienates you. Some of my best, most hilarious times have been in the least luxurious places.”

The movie “Can a Song Save Your Life?” is a musical romantic drama that tells the story of Gretta (Keira Knightley), a singer-songwriter who is left heartbroken after her boyfriend, Dave (Adam Levine), leaves her for another woman.

Gretta moves to New York City to start over, and she meets Dan (Mark Ruffalo), a disgraced record executive trying to make a comeback. Dan and Gretta team up to record an album and find solace in each other’s company. As they work together, they begin to fall in love.
