Popular for her portrayal of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II in "The Crown," actress and producer Claire Foy has also appeared in movies such as "First Man" to earn a net worth of $6 million. So far, Foy has 30 acting credits to her name in a career spanning 25 years, after she made a debut in 2008 with the TV series "Being Human." Before Queen Elizabeth II, Foy had also portrayed the tragedy-struck queen Anne Boleyn in the miniseries "Wolf Hall." She has also appeared in "The Girl in the Spider's Web," a sequel to "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo." Over the years, Foy has come a long way from her debut on stage to a quick ascent on the small screen.

Claire Foy's wealth has been accumulated primarily through her acting career from stage to screen. She has gained attention and earned a significant amount for "Wolf Hall," "First Man," and "The Crown."

In March 2018, the revelation that Claire Foy was paid just $40,000 per episode for "The Crown," significantly less than her male co-star Matt Smith, stirred up a controversy. She appeared in 20 episodes between seasons 1 and 2, amounting to a total earnings of $800,000. The pay disparity sparked a discussion about gender inequality in the entertainment industry.

2021 $4 Million
2022 $5.5 Million
2023 $6 Million

Foy married Stephen Campbell Moore in 2014, with whom she welcomed a daughter named Ivy in 2015. However, they announced their separation in 2018, emphasizing their continued friendship and respect for each other.

Foy's life took a distressing turn in 2021 when she became the target of a stalker who bombarded her with over 1,000 emails and even showed up at her home. The stalker was convicted and received a suspended sentence with psychiatric care requirements. Foy courageously addressed the impact of these actions on her sense of security.

Foy's portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II in "The Crown" earned her a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series in 2018. She also won a Golden Globe for the same role in 2017. Her performance in "First Man" received critical acclaim and several nominations, including the Santa Barbara International Film Festival's Virtuoso Award.
