The immense and surprising success of “Barbie” not only made Margot Robbie one of the most beloved and transcendent actresses of 2023. The film directed by Greta Gerwig also made the Australian-born actress the highest-earning performer of 2023.
It is worth remembering that last year, “Barbie” managed to establish itself as the highest-grossing film of the entire year with an accumulated “bag” of more than $1.4 billion dollars worldwide.
The above, logically, benefits everyone involved in the economic and projection issue. However, and what few know, is that the big box office of the Warner Bros. film also went into Robbie’s pocket due to her role as producer.
How much did Margot Robbie earn in 2023?
According to Forbes, the “I, Tonya” interpreter became the highest-paid actress in 2023 thanks to the $59 million dollars she “pocketed” thanks to the salary and bonuses for the film.
But not only that, the Oscar-nominated actress also became the youngest actress on the list of the highest-paid actors in 2023 at 33 years of age. Likewise, and just in case, the artist will continue receiving unspecified income from “Barbie” for the rest of her life.
The highest paid actors of 2023
The impressive amount earned by Margot Robbie in 2023 was only surpassed by the salary of Adam Sandler, who became the highest-paid actor of the year with $73 million.
It should be noted that, compared to Robbie, the American comedian achieved this sum thanks to his “juicy” contract with Netflix and which allowed him to release 3 films last year: “Murder Mystery 2”, “You’re So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah” as well as the lively “Leo.”
Due to the above, in addition to his various comedy shows in various places in the country, Adam managed to obtain the large amount that placed him, for the first time, as the highest paid of the year.
A little further down from Robbie is Tom Cruise, who managed to take home $45 million in 2023 thanks to two films in particular “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Mission Impossible”.
In fourth place is Margot’s co-star, Ryan Gosling, who “pocketed” $43 million, mainly for his role as Ken in “Barbie.” Completing the top 5 is veteran actor Matt Damon who managed to earn $43 million dollars for his projects “Air” and the clear Oscar favorite “Oppenheimer.”
The rest of the top 10 complement it:
- Jennifer Aniston – $42 million dollars
- Leonardo DiCaprio – $41 million dollars
- Jason Statham – $41 million dollars
- Ben Affleck – $38 million dollars
- Denzel Washington – $24 million dollars
