Returning to her princess throne in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Carrie Fisher received far less pay than fellow leads Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill. According to insider reports, Ford was paid a whopping $25 million. Insiders believe Fisher earned only seven figures but in the low seven figures. Brilliant humor often led Fisher to poke fun at that type of treatment but also the much larger pay gap issues in Hollywood. Still, Fisher's cultural influence as Leia is unmatched, showing that sometimes influence does not depend on the figures on a paycheck.
