The 44 year-old director, screenwriter and actress comes from arguably the most prominent family in Hollywood, being the daughter of "The Godfather" director Francis Ford Coppola (in fact, she had a cameo as the baby in the classic christening scene), but Sofia Coppola's net worth comes from her own work as a widely respected artist.
Other famous members of her family include cousins Nicolas Cage and Jason Schwartzman, her grandfather and composer Carmine, her actress aunt Talia Shire (Adrienne in the "Rocky" movies and Connie in "The Godfather" ones) and brother Roman, who wrote "Moonrise Kingdom" - but coming from a talented and iconic Hollywood family hasn't stopped Sofia Coppola's net worth to grow all on its own.
The first major film that helped Sofia Coppola's net worth rise as she was sitting in the director's chair behind the camera was "The Virgin Suicides," starring Kirsten Dunst and Josh Hartnett; but it wasn't until "Lost in Translation" a few years later that she made it to superstardom.
The film, which brought Bill Murray's career back to life and was one of the first major roles of Scarlett Johansson as an adult actress, skyrocketed the director into fame and, besides boosting Sofia Coppola's net worth, also earned her a Best Picture and Best Director Oscar nomination, earning her so far her only Academy Award, for screenwriting.
After that, she has made a series of films that haven't received as much universal acclaim as "Translation," though Sofia Coppola's net worth has kept growing, having made movies like "Marie-Antoinette" as well as "The Bling Ring" starring Emma Watson - and she even directed Murray again in a Christmas episode that will air during the holidays, which George Clooney spoke about in his last appearance at David Letterman's "The Late Show."
Right now, Coppola's making news as Time Magazine reports that she's leaving the "Little Mermaid" adaptation project she had been attached to - but that's no issue for Sofia Coppola's net worth, as the famous director's got $20 million in the bank according to Celebrity Net Worth!
