It’s Hollywood, baby. Where marquee stars take home hefty pay cheques with more zeros than might actually fit on a cheque.
Margot Robbie, Gal Gadot, Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt are reportedly raking in upwards of US$10 million (S$13.6 million) for their upcoming projects, among them Birds Of Prey (Robbie is also a producer for the film), Wonder Woman 1984 and Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.
