Actress Margot Robbie introduces new gin label to market
In the world of entertainment, Margot Robbie has made a name for herself as an accomplished actress, producer, and now, liquor baron. The Australian-born star, who first gained fame playing Jordan Belfort's wife in The Wolf of Wall Street and for her Academy Award-winning role as figure skater Tonya Harding in I, Tonya, has ventured into the spirits industry with her own gin brand, Papa Salt.
Robbie, who co-founded Papa Salt with her business partner Tom Ackerley, joins a list of A-list celebrities who have dipped their toes into the liquor business. Brad Pitt, Ozzy Osbourne, Kendall Jenner, and Cate Blanchett, who is the creative director of a sake brand, are among the notable personalities already in the industry.
Robbie's foray into the world of gin is less challenging than making it in Hollywood, she says. Compared to selling an unproven idea in the film industry, gin is a tangible product, and its success can be measured more easily.
Before making waves in Hollywood, Robbie made a name for herself as a recurring actress in the Australian soap opera Neighbours. She left the show in 2011 to pursue a career in the US, and her decision has proven to be a successful one. Her production company, LuckyChap, has received 25 Academy Award nominations and 18 Bafta nominations.
One of LuckyChap's most successful productions is the hit film, Barbie, which brought in $1.4 billion. Robbie and her husband have no further plans to expand their liquor brand beyond gin, but they have certainly "ticked both" of their passions with their gin brand and film production company.
As Robbie continues to make strides in both the film and spirits industries, her net worth is estimated to be £46 million, according to Forbes. The article on her gin brand, Papa Salt, was first published in the website's magazine and has since appeared in The Times, Tatler Asia, and Forbes.
