Starring in a film the magnitude of ‘Barbie’ has an undeniable effect on an actor’s career, and while Margot Robbie was no stranger to the entertainment industry, the spotlights, and the worldwide relevance before portraying the doll, it is quite safe to say that her career will take a leap forward thanks to the doll role.
Just a few weeks after the release of the movie, there’s alredy talk about the possible nomination, and why not, the possible victory of the actress at the 2024 Oscars for her ‘Barbie’ rendition. The Australian actress and producer had already been recognized with the honor of being nominated for Best Actress at the 2018 Oscars for her impressive role in “I, Tonya”. She was also nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Kayla Pospisil in the 2019 drama “Bombshell”.
Though she did not win neither of her two nominations, they surely got her a lot of praise and recognition as one of the most relevant actresses in the industry. An Oscar in 2024 for ‘Barbie’ would impulse her career even further, considering how well the nomination turned out for her even without winning.
In addition to artistic achievements and recognition, Margot Robbie’s bank account balance will also see a drastic increase. According to Insider, the actress received an impressive $12.5 million deal to play the doll, adding to the $40 million that Forbes estimated the actress earned from her previous works, such as her appearance in “The Wolf of Wall Street”, her role as Harley Quinn in two DC franchise films, and her collaborations with brands like Calvin Klein, Nissan, and Chanel.
Furthermore, apart from her salary as the lead actress in the film, her production company, LuckyChap, co-founded by Margot Robbie and her husband, played a significant role in the production of ‘Barbie,’ and thus, will also get a share of the $700 million the movie has generated in its first three weeks in the worldwide theaters.
