Before the release of ‘The Force Awakens’, the young actress only had small television roles. She was talented, no doubt, but a chance for her talent to unfold to the fullest was yet to come. When she auditioned for Star Wars episode seven, her performance was jaw-dropping.
She impressed everybody, and the young beauty bagged the role. This episode of the Star Wars saga was literally the highest-grossing movie of its year (2015). It collected more than $2 billion around the world. This, however, did not mean that the very first Daisy Ridley Star Wars salary had seven digits.
There are indications that the money the actress received for her participation in the eighth episode of the epic franchise was a six-digit figure. The amount could hardly be compared to wages of the saga’s veterans like Mark Hamill or Harrison Ford.
