Margot Robbie named highest paid actress in Hollywood

Margot Robbie is the highest-paid female film star in Hollywood after her salary for Greta Gerwig’s live-action Barbie movie was revealed.

The Aussie star, 32, was paid $12.5million (£10.47million) - the same as Ryan Gosling in the highly-anticipated film based on the Mattel doll, Variety reported.

They ranked equal 16th on Variety’s newest list of Hollywood’s top earners.

Robbie is being paid more than her reported $10 million salary for her 2020 Suicide Squad spin-off Birds Of Prey.

Although Robbie topped the list of female movie stars, British star Millie Bobby Brown wasn’t far behind her and came in as the second highest-paid actress.

The 18-year-old was paid $10 million for her starring role in Enola Holmes 2.

Meanwhile, Tom Cruise landed top of the list thanks to his blockbuster Top Gun: Maverick in which he both starred in and produced.
