Meryl Streep reportedly took a strategic "pay cut" for The Devil Wears Prada 2 by negotiating a "favored nations" deal.
It ensured that both Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt were paid the exact same $12.5 million upfront salary as her.
Industry reports from Variety and The Daily Beast indicate that while Streep could have commanded upwards of $20 million, she instead leveraged her star power to secure pay equity for the trio.
