Back in 2023, Layla Anna-Lee’s net worth was estimated at around $1 million. Coming to the end of 2024, we can certainly expect her net worth to be in the range of $1-2 million. Well, that’s pretty similar to her husband’s net worth. However, she has kept the numbers regarding her earnings private. 

Anna-Lee has become a prominent figure in the realm of entertainment. Her major breakthrough came through the TV series, City Lights, and later went to the feature film, Echoes of the Past. She was also involved in several musical projects. This even got her several accolades, like the Best Actress at the Young Artist Awards 2018, the Best Supporting Actress nomination at the National Film Awards 2021, and the MTV Music Award for Best New Artist in 2020.

What is Layla Machado Garry’s current profession?

Layla Machado Garry works as a television presenter. She worked with Cage Warriors on BT Sports, The Munch Box, UFC Connected, Fives World Finals on Red Bull TV, Extreme E, and The Adidas World Cup Show The Dugout. On top of that, she’s quite famous on social media as a content creator. With more than 146K followers on Instagram, she’s nothing short of a sensation. Do you remember the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics? Well, Machado was the voice behind the event. Even the world of FIFA and UEFA were graced by her works. She hosted The Best FIFA Football Awards with 900 million viewers listening to her, and another 1.5 billion impressions from the Brazil World Cup. 

Machado is also an author, who wrote the book, ‘How to be a WAG’. But this attracted quite some criticism from the netizens. Weighing in on that, she once said,  “We were creating this hilarious satire look at wives and girlfriends in football, that’s what WAG stands for. It’s got nothing to do with age and I wasn’t 40 then was I? If you want to call me an author for that, sweet. I think it was more of a light-hearted podcast, but I was well ahead of my time.”
