Maggie Gyllenhaal's net worth show that she's one of the most interesting actresses of her generation.

Interesting as she is as a performer, Maggie Gyllenhaal's net worth is not as high as that of some of her contemporary actresses. This is because the actress hasn't always favored the blockbuster-like projects, except for her turn as Rachel in "The Dark Knight," a role that had been previously played by Katie Holmes in "Batman Begins," but was unable to reprise the role in the sequel.

In the last few days, Maggie Gyllenhaal's net worth has the become subject of some interest, as the actress has just started working on, "The Real Thing," a Broadway stage revival of Tom Stoppard's play, where Scottish actor Ewan McGregor also stars, according to The Guardian.

The play is currently being showed at the American Airlines theater in New York, where the two actors also share the stage with "Sex and the City" actress Cynthia Nixon, who plays McGregor's wife, and Josh Hamilton, from last year's independent film "Frances Ha."

"The Real Thing" is a postmodern story of marriage and infidelity that has done very well with the critics, particularly regarding the performances of McGregor and Gyllenhaal.

As she works on her new venture in the theater, it's interesting to note that Maggie Gyllenhaal's net worth is lower than her brother's, Jake Gyllenhaal, who's worth an approximate $65 million according to The Richest, a website that measures the finances of famous people.

Her brother Jake is one of the most popular actors in the medium, and talented too: he was nominated for an Academy Award back in 2006, for his role in "Brokeback Mountain," where he played a cowboy in love with another man, played by the late Heath Ledger.

Currently, Maggie Gyllenhaal's net worth stands at about $15 million, a sum large enough for the actress to work in whatever she wants to show her talents at. Way to go!
