Cobie Smulders | AGE 39 | $25 Million

Everyone in their circle of friends has a friend like Robin or has a secret spy-like Maria Hill as a pal. Cobie Smulders is the person behind these two endearing characters, and she’s been creating accessible female roles since the beginning of her career. In exchange, they’ve given her excellent investment money. Smulders began her career in 2002, appearing in various shows before landing a lead part in Veritas: The Quest.She starred in The Long Weekend in 2005, but it was a prominent role in a television drama that cemented her reputation that year.

While remaining on HIMYM, Cobie landed the role of Maria Hill in 2011, when co-star Alyson Hannigan recommended her to Joss Whedon.Smulders secured a seven-to-eight-movie agreement when she agreed to join the SHIELD Team. Overall, she earns around $3 million each year and will most likely gain even more if she reprises her role as Maria. We sincerely hope she does, since we miss her hilarious repartee and banter with Fury.
