Although she appeared in several moderately successful films such as Reindeer Games, Men of Honor, The Yards, and The Legend of Bagger Vance, it was her role in the 2003 film Monster that marked a turning point. Playing Aileen Wuornos, a real-life serial killer, Theron underwent a dramatic physical transformation and delivered a deeply compelling performance. Critics praised her portrayal, and she earned multiple accolades, including the Golden Globe Award, Screen Actors Guild Award, and the Academy Award for Best Actress. Following this success, her salary reportedly rose to $10 million per film. That same year, she was named the "Most Desirable Woman" by AskMen.
Theron continued to build on her success with roles in both film and television. She made a guest appearance in the television series Arrested Development and earned further critical acclaim—and another Oscar nomination—for her leading role in North Country (2005). After taking a brief hiatus from acting, she returned to the screen in Young Adult (2011), a performance that was again well received. Her more recent roles include starring in action blockbusters such as Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) and The Huntsman: Winter’s War (2016).
Theron has never been married but has had several high-profile relationships, the most notable being with actor Stuart Townsend, with whom she was involved for nearly a decade. She later chose to become a parent through adoption. In 2012, she adopted a son named Jackson, and in 2015, she adopted a daughter named August.
Standing at 1.77 meters, Theron's statuesque appearance has contributed to her success in both modeling and acting. As of recent estimates, her net worth is approximately $110 million. With her continued involvement in prominent film projects, she remains an influential and active figure in the entertainment industry.
