According to TMZ Violet McGraw, the child actor who played Cady, one of the main characters from the smash hit horror flick 'M3GAN,' hit the jackpot after starring in the film, which also came with some sweet perks. A recent report, confirms Violet's minor's contract which was filed in court and obtained by the outlet. Apparently, the 11-year-old actress was paid $3,932.50 per week, and guaranteed 4 weeks of work. She ended up getting an extra 2 weeks on top of that for the government-mandated quarantine in New Zealand, where they filmed.

Furthermore, Violet's work also came with some other perks, too, including getting to fly business class out to New Zealand for the project. The contract also said she gets bonuses based on how well the movie does at the box office and as the world knows that the film made more than $73 million in the country, Violet is potentially looking at an extra $150K.

However, some fans feel that the child actor deserves more for her hard work and considering the box office success number, while others are just sarcastically comparing how richer she is in comparison to them. One fan said, "she deserves better," while another added, "she can buy everyone in this comment section." A fan wrote, "she deserves more for the next movie! She's Nell from Haunting of Hill House. She has proved her strong acting at such a young age!" A fan shared, "give her more," while another adds, "a kid richer than all of stan twitter good for her." Lastly, a fan commented, "deserves way more."

However, the science fiction slasher film remembers Violet playing Cady, the newly-orphaned young girl who's sent to live with her Aunt Gemma, who is a roboticist played by Allison Williams, responsible for designing the AI-fueled 'M3GAN,' which somehow turns into a killing machine.
