Could Margot Robbie soon be Hollywood's RICHEST actress? Barbie star who once lived in a ramshackle shared London rental is quietly making a killing from film company behind huge movie hits


Robbie has proved herself to be considerably more than 'the hottest blonde ever' - as her character was described in the script for The Wolf of Wall Street...

Certainly, dark and disturbing Saltburn couldn't be further removed from the sunny, camp world of Barbie – except that both were directed by women (Emerald Fennell and Greta Gerwig respectively) as part of Robbie's self-proclaimed post-MeToo mission to address the gender imbalance in Hollywood. Indeed, Robbie, who this month revealed she wants to add directing to her busy resume, has proved herself to be considerably more than 'the hottest blonde ever' –as her character was described in the script for The Wolf of Wall Street, the 2013 Martin Scorsese blockbuster that provided her breakout role. Future LuckyChap projects will no doubt continue to balance the worthy – such as a series of modern adaptations of Shakespeare plays told from female perspectives and made by an all-female production team – with the crowd-pleasing, such as a hotly-anticipated prequel of the 2001 Las Vegas casino robbery caper Ocean's Eleven (in which Robbie will delight fans by reuniting with her Barbie's 'Ken', Ryan Gosling).
