Meryl Streep revealed she doubled her salary ask for the first Devil Wears Prada film. She earned 12.5 million dollars for the sequel and made sure co-stars got the same.
Meryl Streep shared the details during an April 2026 interview on Today. She told co-host Jenna Bush Hager that she read the script, knew it would be a hit and demanded double her initial offer. The studio agreed right away, and she was paid around 4 million dollars for the original film at age 56.
