Australian actress Margot Robbie has skyrocketed to fame and fortune within just 15 years. Starting with her debut on the Australian soap opera Neighbors in 2008, she has transformed into a major Hollywood player, amassing a remarkable net worth. At 32 years old, Robbie has progressed from TV roles to starring alongside industry legends like Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, and Nicole Kidman, showcasing her talent and versatility.

This summer is a standout for Margot Robbie, with the release of Asteroid City in June and the box office success of Barbie in July. Barbie is a significant milestone for Robbie, as she not only stars in the film but also took on the role of producer from the project’s early stages. While she never aspired to play the iconic doll, her involvement has paid off handsomely.

Her move to the US led her to roles like the ABC drama Pan Am (2011-2012) and her breakthrough in Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street (2013). Notably, she became a household name as Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad (2016), reprising the role in Birds of Prey (2020) and The Suicide Squad (2021).

In 2014, Margot Robbie co-founded LuckyChap Entertainment with friends, producing successful films like I, Tonya and Promising Young Woman, as well as TV shows like Dollface and Maid.

As of 2023, Margot Robbie’s estimated net worth is $40 million, and with the success of Barbie, it’s speculated she could be closer to $100 million. She is the highest-paid actress for the years 2022 and 2023, with her Barbie earnings expected to be around $50 million due to backend deals and bonuses.

Robbie’s involvement in producing has added to her wealth, with Barbie being her 27th feature film appearance. While her exact salary per movie remains undisclosed, her Hollywood standing ensures she commands a substantial fee per project, enhanced by her production credits.
