When it comes to the cinema screen, Theron's star status started to rise in the late 1990s with roles in movies such as "The Devil's Advocate," "Mighty Joe Young" and "The Cider House Rules." But her commercial and critical success really came about with her 2003 performance as serial killer Aileen Wuornos in "Monster." On a budget of $8 million, the film went on to amass $58.5 million in cumulative worldwide gross.
On the back of her "Monster" performance, Theron won the Academy Award for Best Actress and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture. In part to her success from "Monster" and regular, successful movie work, Theron became one of the (then) highest-paid actresses in Hollywood, commanding $10 million per film, a figure that would continue to increase. In 2016, her earnings came in at $16.5 million, according to Forbes.
