One of the rom-coms of the year, “A Family Affair” is already available to stream on Netflix, featuring two of today’s hottest celebrities, along with a talented ensemble cast including Joey King, Liza Koshy, and Oscar winner Kathy Bates.

The leading woman is superstar Nicole Kidman, who plays a widowed mother. Widely known for her prolific filmography, Kidman has starred in some of the top productions in history, including “Moulin Rouge,” “Eyes Wide Shut,” and “Cold Mountain.”

On the other hand, Zac Efron portrays a self-absorbed Hollywood star who meets Kidman’s character because her daughter is his personal assistant. Of course, he is instantly drawn to her. Since his breakout role in “High School Musical,” Efron has landed major roles in “The Greatest Showman” and the recent “Iron Claw,” which could potentially earn him his first Academy Award nomination.

Who is richer, Zac Efron or Nicole Kidman?

Seeing two giants like Zac Efron and Nicole Kidman in the same movie has made people speculate about their assets. While the “Nine Perfect Strangers” star has appeared in more movies and series than Efron, it’s a fact that male leads often command higher fees than women. So, who is the richest?
