Pay disparity is one of the significant issues celebs are facing throughout the world. We all remember Gal Gadot & Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman and how amazing it was, but did you know how much she was paid for it? Or in other words, how much less than her co-male stars she was paid for it?
The silver line here is she is getting 33 times larger paycheque for Wonder Woman: 1984. Gal was paid a mere $300,000 for her work in Wonder Woman. Not comparing apples to apples, but for Iron Man back in ‘2008’, Robert Downey Jr was paid $500,000. Taking everything into consideration, Gal was paid a little more than half of what Robert was paid almost a decade later.
Vanity Fair’s Nancy Jo Sales writes, “The success of the first ‘Wonder Woman’ film — for which Gadot was paid only $300,000, a figure that caused outrage in some circles as it paled in comparison to what many male action stars take home — helped catapult her onto the list of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood. For ‘Wonder Woman 1984,’ she reportedly earned $10 million.”
