What are Rebel Wilson's sources of income?

Although acting remains Wilson's main revenue stream, she has also emerged as a singer and now has her own record label called Rebellionaire, which has bagged a deal with Warner Music for her movie soundtracks.

Rebel Wilson's salary

In her early Hollywood days, the Australian comedian and actress didn't mind low pay for onscreen visibility and accepted just $3,000 for her role in Bridesmaids. But her fee went up to $65,000 for Pitch Perfect, and she later renegotiated to bag $2 million for Pitch Perfect 2, plus $2 million in bonuses. Since then, Wilson's movie contracts have always been in seven-digit figures.

Defamation case and legal victories

In 2017, Wilson won a defamation case against the Bauer Media Group related to articles in the Australian Women's Weekly and Woman’s Day, which falsely portrayed her as a serial liar due to discrepancies in her upbringing. She initially won $3.2 million in damages, but in October 2017, the Bauer Media Group appealed, resulting in a reduced damages amount of $600,000.

Other ventures

In 2017, the Australian actress introduced a chic collection designed for curvy women, emphasizing that style knows no size. Partnering with plus-size clothing specialist Torrid, Rebel Wilson's contemporary line offered stylish and elegant pieces. This inclusive collection is still accessible and can be purchased at various Walmart stores across the U.S.
