How Margot made her millions
Acting
After leaving the Australian soap opera Neighbours, Robbie told Vanity Fair she had “saved up enough money to get me through three years unemployed”.
The actress’s first big break in Tinseltown was appearing in Martin Scorsese’s Wolf of Wall Street in 2013 alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, for which she was paid $350,000, according to some reports. Leonardo DiCaprio is reported to have been paid a huge $10 million to play stockbroker Jordan Belfort.
By 2019, Forbes reported that Robbie was one of the highest-paid actresses in the world with $23.5million. For her performance in Barbie, both Robbie and her co-star Ryan Gosling are reportedly getting paid $12.5millon each.
Producing
In 2014, the Suicide Squad actress co-founded her own production company: Luckychap Entertainment.
The company has produced work starring Robbie herself, including her Oscar-nominated role in I, Tonya, as well as 2020’s Promising Young Woman, which starred Carrey Mulligan.
According to Forbes, one of the big drivers behind her sizable income reason behind her income in 2019 was the eight-figure upfront earnings from Birds of Prey which she was a producer of.
Later this month, Barbie will be released, which Robbie was also responsible for getting off the ground after convincing director Greta Gerwig to sign onto the project.
Endorsements and businesses
Over the years, Robbie has endorsed multiple products and services which have helped to hike her net worth.
These have included being the face of Calvin Klein’s Deep Euphoria fragrance in 2016 and a brand ambassador for Chanel in 2019.
Furthermore, the actress was named Nissan’s first-ever electric vehicle ambassador in 2017.
On top of this, she used her sizable net worth to found Papa Salt’s Gin in May of this year which is made in Byron Bay, Australia.
