LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Margot Robbie's groundbreaking 'Barbie' role will fetch her a whopping salary and a substantial box office bonus, according to Variety. Robbie's company LuckyChap Entertainment was part of the film's production.

LuckyChap, which Robbie co-founded with her husband Tom Ackerley and friends Josey McNamara and Sophia Kerr in 2014, has also produced 'Promising Young Woman', 'Birds of Prey', and the series 'Maid'.

For 'Barbie', Margot Robbie is set to earn $50 million in salary and bonuses. Meanwhile, the hit film has already surpassed $1 billion in global box office gross.

Greta Gerwig, the director, is also likely to receive bonuses due to 'Barbie's phenomenal success. In the movie, Ryan Gosling stars as Ken alongside Robbie's Barbie.

The film is based on the beloved Mattel character and co-written by Gerwig and her husband Noah Baumbach.

The Australian actress has a huge net worth of $40 million. Though she began her career in her home country, she rose to prominence after moving to the United States. She has essayed a wide range of Hollywood roles over the years.

2017's 'Wonder Woman', directed by Patty Jenkins, had already catapulted her to unprecedented stardom after a record-breaking first few weeks in theatres, grossing $821.8 million globally.

53 films have made it to the billion-dollar mark in history, with studio representatives coining the term 'Barbillion' for the most recent addition to the list.

While both 'Frozen' and 'Captain Marvel' were co-directed by a woman and a man, 'Barbie' is the highest-grossing film directed entirely by a woman. It surpassed the $400 million domestic and $500 million international milestones faster than any other film in the studio's history, including the Harry Potter films, as reported by Daily Mail.

Ryan Gosling and Robbie reportedly received $12.5 million each for their roles in 'Barbie'. They were rightfully paid the same amount for their work, given the film's strong feminist themes.
