Sigourney Weaver, dubbed the Sci-Fi Queen, has an estimated net worth of $40 million.
Although she has had a long and illustrious career in Hollywood, she holds a degree each from Stanford University and Yale University.
Her claim to fame came with Ridley Scott’s movie Alien in which she played the role of Ellen Ripley. She reprised the role thrice when it became a franchise. The stardom of Weaver and the character development of Ellen Ripley in the four Alien movies were a parallel phenomenon and one that got the attention of many film critics.
She followed it up with two Ghostbusters movies in the 80s, the critical hit The Year of Living Dangerously and Gorillas in the Mist.
The golden globe awardee has since worked on numerous projects on television (appearing on NBC’s Saturday Night Live and Futurama, amongst others) and in films as a voice actor – including a role in Avatar.
