Lady Gaga's DC salary for her involvement in Joker: Folie à Deux has just been revealed and it's quite massive. It was recently confirmed that the Poker Face hitmaker and A Star is Born actress has been cast as the second live-action iteration of Harley Quinn in the upcoming Joker sequel and by the looks of things, Warner Bros. is treating her like a bonafide queen.
According to a recent report from Variety, the multi-awarded pop star and actress will be receiving a cool $10 million for her appearance in the Joker sequel which is described as a "dark musical". Meanwhile, lead star Joaquin Phoenix and director Todd Phillips will both be getting $20 million respectively for the project.
For comparison, Margot Robbie reportedly only received $347,000 for her involvement in David Ayer's Suicide Squad. Even taking into consideration the current inflation rate, it appears that Gaga would still be making more money than Robbie did during her first outing as Harley which is astonishing, to say the least.

It's worth noting that Gaga previously turned down the offer to join Birds of Prey and thinking about it now, it looks like she made the right call not to play second fiddle to Robbie. It'll be interesting to see how she would fare as the iconic DC anti-hero but judging by her track record, I'm confident Gaga will pull this one off.
Joker: Folie à Deux is currently scheduled for theatrical release on October 4, 2024.
