Since its release on June 28, “A Family Affair” has consistently remained at the top of Netflix charts worldwide. And, of course, it’s not just because of its entertaining story.
As is customary for productions of this genre, it is led by two renowned celebrities, Zac Efron and Nicole Kidman. Efron is beginning to make a name for himself in critically acclaimed titles like “The Iron Claw,” while Kidman continues to solidify her A-list status since the 2000s.
With such stars, one not only wonders who is the richest between the two, but also how much they have been paid, and how those numbers compare to those given to the rest of the cast.
The rumored salaries for the cast of ‘A Family Affair’
While there is no official confirmation about this data, Showbiz Galore has provided insights from their informants on the topic. According to the site, the highest-paid cast member of “A Family Affair” is Nicole Kidman, reportedly earning $10 million for her role as widowBrooke Hardwood.
In contrast, Zac Efron’s earnings were significantly lower, at $5 million. This amount is understandable considering that, despite his extensive filmography, it was his recent role in “The Iron Claw” that marked his beginnings in more serious productions.
Joey King, portraying Kidman’s daughter, received $650,000, while Liza Koshy, playing her friend, earned $300,000. These figures reflect the dominance of Efron and Kidman in the overall cast salary.
For comparison, Kathy Bates, the Oscar winner known for her work in horror and drama, earned a modest $150,000. Despite her low salary and limited screen time, the critic stated that her acting skills stole the entire movie. Give her a raise!
