Gal Gadot Net Worth

Currently, Gal Gadot is worth $30 million. Gal Gadot earned a paltry $300,000 for her role in the original Wonder Woman movie. The revelation caused quite a commotion, since her salary was far lower than that of male performers who had previously portrayed superheroes.

Controversy

Back in 2021, the wonder woman actor tweeted her opinion on Israel – Palestine row and faced a massive backlash.

Hollywood star Gal Gadot, who is Israeli, reportedly once tweeted about the Israel-Palestine conflict but received so much hate that she disabled the comments section and kept the tweet in place.

The actress was charged with exploiting her platform to promote Israel’s efforts at “ethnic cleansing” My heart breaks, the woman wrote. My nation is at war. About my friends and family, I worry. I am concerned for my people. There has been too much time spent in this vicious loop. Israel merits to exist as a free and secure country. Our neighbors are entitled to the same.

Gal Gadot is wrong. Israel is not at a ‘war’ with Palestine. Israel is butchering Palestine. Again,” tweeted musician James Kennedy. “Gal Gadot sends meaningless thoughts and prayers as the Israeli apartheid regime she supports ethnically cleanses Palestinians and bombs Gazans in an open-air prison camp.” Many pointed out that Ms. Gadot, a former Miss Israel, could not bring herself to write the words Palestine or Palestinians.

During the initial months of the pandemic, actor Gal Gadot courted controversy when she posted a video of her and other actors singing John Lennon’s Imagine.

Even though Gal said she meant it as a mark of solidarity, she was ridiculed for being insensitive and elitist.

Now in a recent interview, the actor has admitted that the video was in poor taste.

With the whole Imagine controversy, it’s funny. I was calling Kristen and I was like, ‘Listen, I want to do this thing.’ The pandemic was in Europe and Israel before it came here (to the US) in the same way. I was seeing where everything was headed,” she said.
