Lindsay Lohan is back on the screen, and this time she has teamed up with Netflix again in a romantic comedy set in Ireland. Not only has she won the hearts of viewers, but now it’s the number one movie in the United States.
The iconic Mean Girls actress portrays Maddie Kelly in this adventurous, wild and dramatic love story. The production, directed by Janeen Damian, has not only been special for her but has also been financially rewarding.
In addition to being the main star, she also was the highest-paid member of Irish Wish, receiving her highest salary to date since her triumphant return to the industry and causing her net worth to increase rapidly.
Irish Wish is the No. 1 movie on Netflix US

The specialized metrics site reported that the romantic comedy was one of the most anticipated of the month and has managed to surpass other popular American titles, including Damsel with Millie Bobby Brown and the thriller Alone.
The production has everything necessary to succeed within the rom-com genre: captivating characters, a magical narrative with unexpected twists, incredible landscapes, moderate drama, and a gripping love story.
Janeen Damian was in charge of directing the film, based on a script by Kirsten Hansen. The cast was one of the most important elements, and Lindsay Lohan brings the main character to life, accompanied by multiple stars.
Ed Speleers and Alexander Vlahos vie for her love for an hour and a half, while Ayesha Curry and Elizabeth Tan are just two of the actresses playing secondary but significant characters, alongside Jane Seymour.
The plot follows Maddie, who, when the love of her life becomes engaged to her best friend, sets aside her feelings to be a bridesmaid at their wedding in Ireland. Of course, the drama quickly escalates and everything spirals out of control.
