Duchess Sophie
After her “7th Heaven” project was over, Biel went on to star in “The Illusionist,” a 2006 romantic mystery movie that was directed by Neil Burger. “The Illusionist” also stars Edward Norton as the lead cast and Paul Giamatti. The film is based partly on “Eisenheim the Illusionist,” a book by Steven Millhauser.

The film was a major success, and Biel earned well for the role, growing her net worth.
