Evangeline Lilly Has A Low Net Worth Of USD 5 Million, Despite Doing 4 Marvel Movies?

Canadian actress, Evangeline Lilly, who received international fame in the 2000s, has started 2026 with a health scare. The Ant-Man and the Wasp actress shared that she has damaged her brain after an accident in Hawaii. This was after Evangeline fainted and landed face-first on a boulder. Evangeline had taken to her Instagram to reveal that she was having brain scans, which confirmed that almost every area in her brain is functioning at a decreased capacity. She is on a mission to fix the same with her doctors.

For the unversed, Evangeline got her first breakout role as 'Kate Austen' in the hit TV show, Lost, which aired from 2004 to 2010. Evangeline launched her Hollywood career with the series that made her a global phenomenon. Evangeline has done movies such as Real Steel, Crisis, The Hobbit, and many more. Although her most famous role was that of 'Hope Van Dyne', in which she appeared in the Ant-Man trilogy and Avengers: Endgame. However, do you know that despite having a career spanning 22 years and doing four Marvel movies, Evangeline has a very low net worth?

Evangeline Lilly stepped away from acting and has a low net worth

Evangeline Lilly did receive success on the small screen, but it was in her work in The Hobbit series, Ant-Man, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Avengers: Endgame, and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania that gave her major fame. The roles not only gave the actress love and fame from fans worldwide, but also recognition in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Surprisingly, her net worth is modest if compared to her peers. According to a report by Celebrity Net Worth, Evangeline's net worth as of 2025 is reportedly USD 5 million.

Evangeline Lilly's net worth is less than that of her co-stars, Scarlett Johansson, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jessica Alba

Evangeline Lilly's net worth of USD 5 million stems from her work in Lost, The Hobbit, and Ant-Man. Evangeline's net worth is very surprising, as Scarlett Johansson, as of 2024, had a net worth of USD 165 million. Gwyneth Paltrow, on the other hand, has a net worth of around USD 200 million, while IMDb reports that Jessica Alba's net worth is USD 100 million. Lilly quit acting after doing four Marvel movies, according to the report. She had decided to quit acting after Evangeline announced early retirement plans. Her post on Instagram read:

"I am so filled with joy and contentment today as I live out my vision. Praise God, I feel so grateful for my blessings. Stepping away from what seems like the obvious choice (wealth and fame) can feel scary at times, but stepping into your dharma replaces the fear with fulfillment. I might return to Hollywood one day, but, for now, this is where I belong. A new season has arrived, and I am ready…and I am happy."

Evangeline Lilly's earnings via Marvel Cinematic Universe

One of the reasons for Evangeline's low net worth is reportedly that the actress has stepped back from Hollywood. However, according to a report by Opera.com, Evangeline's earnings per movie with the Marvel Cinematic Universe were around USD 50,0000 to USD 1 million. The Marvel Cinematic Universe movies reportedly minted USD 22 billion globally.

Evangeline Lilly's breakthrough role was when she did the TV series, Lost, but she was paid less

Evangeline Lilly reportedly earned around USD 80,000 to USD 100,000 per episode when the TV series, Lost gained fame. She was one of the top stars in the cast and was paid well, but some reports say her salary was lower. Lost ran for six seasons, and a report by The Jangoo mentions that Lilly was paid USD 15,000 per episode during the earlier seasons of Lost.

Evangeline Lilly has endorsed brands and earned an income via her children's book series

Evangeline Lilly also earned from her children's book series called The Squickerwonkers, which was reportedly another source of income. Evangeline also had partnered with many brands, which was reportedly a source of her income. Evangeline Lilly reportedly partnered with Kathryn Organic, a company that promotes sustainable products. She has also endorsed luxury bedding products, which align with her personal choices.

Evangeline Lilly's total real estate holdings amount to USD 4 million, after her home was destroyed by fire

Evangeline Lilly reportedly owns many properties in Los Angeles and also vacation homes in Canada. The real estate value of her properties is around USD 4 million; however, the actress has not provided any official confirmation. The Lost actress, Evangeline Lilly, once stayed in the Hawaiian island of Oahu in the town of Kailua. She lived on rent and was not inside the residence when the fire broke and most of her home was destroyed. According to a spokesman for the Honolulu Fire Department, in an interview with the BBC, he mentioned:

"We stopped the fire from spreading. It took us maybe 15 to 20 minutes to knock down the main body of fire. Only the roof and a couple of interior walls were left standing. The house was "fully involved" in flames by the time firefighters arrived."
