AFTER hitting the Barbie movie promotion trail hard, Margot Robbie has finally got some well-earned time off.
But instead of pampering herself, she has splashed out £50,000 on her inner circle of close friends.
I can reveal that the Aussie-born actress, who is worth £30million, whisked away a group of 14 mates for an all-expenses-paid stay in a luxury cabin at A-list haven Soho Farmhouse in Oxfordshire last week.
Joined by her Brit hubby, movie producer Tom Ackerley, Margot treated her posse to a private chef, tasty snacks cooked over a charcoal grill, luxury spa treatments, a cocktail van with free-flowing booze, hot tubs and on-site activities including clay pigeon shooting, cycling and prosecco pong . . . with pink cups, of course.
A lot of Margot’s crowd work in the film industry — which is largely paused at the moment due to the US actors’ and writers’ strike — so the timing was ideal.
An insider tells me: “Despite being the hottest actress on the planet right now, Margot is incredibly down-to-earth and loves nothing more than hanging out with her best mates.
“She knows the tight-knit crowd through work and her husband, and she feels like she can be herself around them and really let her hair down.
“She’s more than happy to share her wealth with the people she loves, and she is really generous.
“The weather wasn’t great, but they were happy to chill out, eat and drink.
“After spending the last few weeks dressed to the nines and tottering around in heels, Margot ditched the glad rags and donned jeans, comfy hoodies and flip-flops. Her mates mostly work in the film industry too so they’re not fazed by Margot’s fame and she can just be herself.”
All her hard work has paid off though, as Barbie has received rave reviews around the world and has grossed more than £450million.
Margot and Tom, who wed in 2016, formed their own production company, Lucky Chap, with some of their mates.
Speaking about it previously, she said: “We started our production company with our best friends and it continues to be a wonderful group dynamic.
“We all really work well together. I feel very lucky.”
