Barbie and Oppenheimer are recent outstanding installments in Hollywood from two of Hollywood’s most esteemed directors.

Oppenheimer, and Greta Gerwig’s innovative drama Barbie, centering around the iconic Barbie doll with Margot Robbie in the lead role got dubbed ‘Barbenheimer’. This unprecedented event sent shockwaves around the world, grossing more than $500 million each.
Margot Robbie earned her record-breaking Barbie Pay
Margot Robbie, as Barbie, has completely grabbed the show and had us all hooked. Robbie, as the lead as well as the producer of the movie, raked in over a billion bucks, making it the first female-directed film to hit that milestone.

The movie hit theaters on July 21, and within 17 days, it crossed $1 billion at its worldwide box office.
Robbie has been raised to the A-list of actors in Hollywood, propelled by her standout performances as Naomi Lapaglia in Wolf of Wall Street, Harley Queen, and Tonya Harding in I, Tonya, which is far enough to weigh the potential of the young actress. Her marvelous venture from fantasy to realism has earned her multiple Oscar nominations. Barbie, her latest addition, is on a journey to understand the real world after leaving Barbieland; and her performance was one of many factors that made the movie super good.
Being on the top list of the best Hollywood movies on IMDb, it is curious to know about the salary the actor received. According to a report, the lead actress, Margot Robbie, has received a substantial sum of $12.5 million, which is the highest of her previous earnings, making her the top-paid actress in recent years. With Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken in the lead roles, Barbie has become a cultural phenomenon within days.
Cillian Murphy’s Oppenheimer role garnered a million Triumph
