Talulah Riley is an English actress. She has appeared in films such as Pride & Prejudice (2005), St. Trinian’s (2007), The Boat That Rocked (2009) and Inception (2010). Other than being a popular movie star herself, she was also in news for her marriage to billionaire industrialist, Elon Musk. Although the couple was the talk of the town, their relationship was rocky, to say the least. However, to view Talulah Riley as just the wife of Musk would be unfair to the very talented actress, who, apart from being a part of several movies, has also done stage plays and appeared on television.
The British actress is often pitted to be the next big thing in Hollywood along with compatriots such as Kendall Jenner and Anya Wu. Despite being divorced and having a difficult personal life, Talulah has kept her professional flag flying high even in a brutally competitive space like the film industry.
She made her stage debut in The Philadelphia Story at the Old Vic in 2005. Her television credits include episodes of Poirot (Poirot: Five Little Pigs (2003)), Marple (Marple: The Moving Finger (2006)), Doctor Who (Doctor Who: Silence in the Library (2008) and Doctor Who: Forest of the Dead (2008)) and the HBO television series Westworld (2016).
Talulah Riley Net Worth:
As of February 2022, Talulah Riley’s net worth is around $25 million. Although a considerable portion of her earnings come from movies and series she has worked on, she gained a fortune from her two divorces from Musk.
In the case of the first one, she was given $4.2 million of settlement. However, the second time she divorced Musk, a total of $16 million was allotted to her. Talulah Riley, who started her acting career at the age of 18, first rose to fame when she played Mary Bennet, the protagonist’s sister in the 2005 movie Pride & Prejudice.

Talulah Riley Boy Friend:
Actress Talulah Riley, 36, previously married to the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, 50, twice, is currently dating 31-year-old Thomas Brodie-Sangster, the baby-faced actor. The latter rose to fame at the age of 13 with his performance as Sam in Love Actually (2003).
The duo started dating while filming Danny Boyle’s upcoming Sex Pistols drama miniseries, which stars Brodie-Sangster as Malcolm McLaren and Riley as Vivienne Westwood, over the last summer. However, their relationship remained a secret until November 2021.
Brodie-Sangster and Riley, who rarely make public appearances together, were recently spotted entering and leaving celebrity favorite KOL, a Marylebone restaurant that serves Mexican-British fusion food. The couple was seen arm in arm as they left the restaurant smiling from ear to ear.
However, as it seems, the couple enjoys low-key dates as well. Last month, Riley Brodie-Sangster went out for a meal at the Papa’s Fish & Chips restaurant, which happens to be the world’s biggest fish and chips shop, located on Cleethorpes Pier.
