Nikki Reed’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Nikki Reed Net Worth: Nikki Reed is an American actress who has a net worth of $12 million. Nikki first became widely-known after starring in the 2003 film “Thirteen” which she also co-wrote with her mother’s friend Catherine Hardwicke (Catherine was the director). Nikki then appeared in several “Twilight” movies, among other projects. Nikki Reed was born May 17, 1988 in West Los Angeles, California. In 2005 Nikki reunited with Catherine Hardwicke for the film “Lords of Dogtown”. In 2008 they worked together again for the much-anticipated film version of “Twilight”, the first in a series of Gothic romances by Stephenie Meyer. Reed was  cast as Rosalie Hale in the movie. This casting sparked a controversy with the book’s loyal readers, who refused to accept her as the character since Reed was a brunette and Rosalie was supposed to be blonde. The overwhelming popularity of Twilight overshadowed the hoopla and Reed was tapped to portray her character Rosalie twice more in the sequels New Moon (2009), Eclipse (2010) and Breaking Dawn Parts 1 & 2 (2011 and 2012). She remains active onscreen and has added producing to her list of talents, overseeing the comedy Last Day of Summer, in which she also appeared in a supporting role. Reed recorded the song Now That I’ve Found You with her former husband Paul McDonald, which debuted on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show on November 15, 2011. The couple released their first EP, The Best Part, on October 29, 2012. Their song All I’ve Ever Needed was featured on The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn—Part 2 soundtrack. In January 2013, Reed filmed Hanson’s 2013 music video for their single Get The Girl Back with her husband Paul McDonald; the video was released in April 2013. Other well-known faces in the video include Kat Dennings, Drake Bell, Drew Seeley, Amy Paffrath and Alex Beh. Nikki married actor Ian Somerhalder in 2015, the same year her divorce with Paul McDonald was finalized. Real Estate: Soon after marrying, Nikkie and Ian paid $2.85 million for a home in Venice, California. They listed the home for sale in 2019 for $3.5 million.
