With #Barbenheimer in full effect, we are doing a salary face-off of two Hollywood big hits: Christopher Nolan\u2019s Oppenheimer and Greta Gerwig\u2019s Barbie.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It might surprise you that beyond all the cheerful and playful neon-pink colours, some Barbie characters are estimated to earn much more in the real world than the ensemble starring in the deadly-serious drama.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. CEO of Mattel<\/h3>\n

Profession: CEO<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Estimated salary: $11.89 million (equivalent to \u00a310.21 million)<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the real world, Ynon Kriez is Mattel\u2019s CEO. Appointed in April 2018, Kriez reportedly gets paid US$11.89 million per year (\u00a310.21 million). Mattel is one of the biggest global toy companies and we do live in a capitalist society, which partly explains why this C-suite position is better paid than No.10.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

CEOs\u2019 salaries vary depending on the business nature and the years of experience. An average FTSE 100 CEO <\/span>earns \u00a33.41 million per year<\/span><\/a>. Overseeing the executive team, CEOs set goals, execute strategies, make major corporate decisions, and manage the overall operations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Judge Barbie<\/h3>\n

Advertised salaries: \u00a391,217 – \u00a3206,857<\/strong><\/p>\n

Judge Barbie is no regular judge, she\u2019s the Supreme Court Justice, making her high up on this list in the real world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Judges in the UK typically earn between \u00a391,216 and \u00a3147,388, depending on their seniority. The Supreme Court is the final court of appeal for all civil cases, and a Supreme Court judge acts as the last gatekeeper to ensure the ruling is fair and lawful. The current salary of a Justice of the Supreme Court is <\/span>\u00a3206,857<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
