Meryl Streep just gave a master class in knowing your worth. The three-time Oscar winner—with an estimated net worth of $100 million—says she was lowballed when the call came in 2006 to star as The Devil Wears Prada’s high-powered, pouting, and feared editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly. And if the studio wouldn’t budge, Streep had already decided she was ready to walk away from Hollywood for good.
“They called me up, and they made an offer, and I said, ‘No, not going to do it,’” Streep recalled in a recent interview with Today.
