Her success skyrocketed with her starring role in the teen blockbuster franchise «Divergent». Net worth: $12 million.

She began her career as a child model, appearing in front of the camera for the first time at age 5.







In 2014, Shailene was offered the role of Mary Jane Watson in the sequel to the acclaimed movie «The Amazing Spider-Man».

However, all of Shailene's scenes were cut from the final version.






In October 2016, Shailene Woodley and another 26 activists were arrested for participating in a rally against the construction of an oil pipeline on the Indian reservation in North Dakota. Her trial was scheduled for January 2017. She reportedly faced potential jail time.

Now everyone's talking about Shailene and Australian rugby player Ben Volavola. They've been together since fall 2017. He changed the actress's mind about settling down—before meeting Ben, Woodley wasn't interested in anything serious.
