Meryl Streep Doubled Her Salary for First ‘Devil Wears Prada’ Movie: “I knew it was going to be a hit, and I wanted to see if I doubled my ask & they went right away & said, ‘Sure.’ I thought, I’m 50-60 and it took me this long to understand that I could do that! They needed me. That was a lesson.”

Now she walks into the room says “I’m Meryl Streep, here’s what you’re paying me. No this is not a negotiation.”
Love when a woman knows her worth, and love that she realized she could ask to be paid what she is worth *and* get it!
They asked her, she named her price, and they gave it to her. She knows her worth!
Picturing Santa from I Think You Should Leave. “That’s my quote. Even if I do a bad job they gotta give me that other two mil.”

Was it doubled and adjusted for inflation?
