Margot Robbie launches new gin brand

Margot Robbie “defines any attempts at lazy categorisation”, says Roisin Kelly in The Times. “Blonde Aussie bombshell and global pin-up? Yes, of course. But she has also become a mogul”: a producer, investor and, as of last month, “now a liquor baron too” – she has started her own gin brand, Papa Salt. 

Robbie, 34, is perhaps best known for her starring role in the hit film Barbie, which brought in $1.4 billion, and was produced by a company she founded, LuckyChap, which has racked up 25 Academy Award nominations, 18 Bafta nominations and raked in billions in box-office takings worldwide. Robbie first won 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. Forbes puts her estimated net worth at £46 million.
