Rise to Fame
She reportedly flew to New York with barely any credits and improvised a slap across Leonardo DiCaprio's face during her Wolf of Wall Street audition. Martin Scorsese gave her the part. The 2013 film made her globally known, and she didn't sit on the momentum. Two Oscar nominations followed: Best Actress for I, Tonya and Best Supporting Actress for Bombshell. While she was racking up those notices, she co-founded LuckyChap Entertainment with her future husband and was quietly building the producer resume that would eventually matter more than the acting one.
In the Spotlight
Barbie (2023) grossed $1.44 billion worldwide, and she reportedly cleared around $50 million once salary and backend bonuses are combined. That's the number that changed her leverage. LuckyChap, the company she co-runs with husband Tom Ackerley, now has a Warner Bros. first-look deal, an international arm launched in January 2026, and reportedly 25 Oscar nominations across its slate. Wuthering Heights got mixed reviews in February 2026 but crossed $221 million worldwide anyway. She's less interested in the next role than in the next company move.
Side Notes
LuckyChap Entertainment started as a crush. Robbie met Tom Ackerley in 2013 on a film set, fell for him while they were crammed into a seven-person house in Clapham, and they co-founded the company before they were even together. They married secretly in Byron Bay in December 2016, postponed the honeymoon to shoot I, Tonya, and eventually had their first child in late 2024. The company that grew out of that Clapham flat has now produced Saltburn, Promising Young Woman, and Barbie. The son's name is still private.
