Fleabag's Phoebe Waller-Bridge's incredible annual earnings as James Bond hits screens

Phoebe Waller-Bridge earned a huge £253,341 a week, her company accounts have revealed.

The actor and Fleabag creator – who also wrote Killing Eve – was laughing all the way to the bank with a turnover of £22,040,744 in less than two years.

PMWB Ltd earned £10,692,453 in the period April to November last year and £11,348,291 in 12 months to March 31, 2020.

The profit before tax was £7.34million – compared to £8.3m in the previous accounting period.

Two years ago, PMWB Ltd had a bottom line of £515,864, now it has £6.9m of cash reserves and investments of almost £2m.

Accounts filed to Companies House this week show she paid herself a dividend of £1.4m from her firm.

Killing Eve, starring Jodie Comer, has been a global smash with Phoebe, 36, the show’s head writer.

She has also helped pen the upcoming James Bond film No Time To Die, out on September 30.

For tragic-comic Fleabag, she received the British Academy Television Award for Best Female Comedy Performance, three Primetime Emmy Awards and two Golden Globes.

Phoebe also wrote and starred in the Channel 4 comedy series Crashing.

After picking up her Emmy’s in the US and being snapped smoking surrounded by her gongs, singer Taylor Swift told Time magazine that Phoebe had a “combination of razor-sharp instincts, killer wit and care for the people she works with”.
