Phoebe Waller-Bridge's firm nets £22million in 20 months

Phoebe Waller-Bridge has been pulling in more than £1million a month for the past two years, newly released accounts show.

The documents show that her company PMWB, netted £22million in the 20 months up to November – of which £15.6million is profit.

She is the sole director of the company and paid herself a £1.4million dividend between April and November last year  and a salary of £33,000.

There are two other members of staff on the payroll and the company’s wage bill totalled £509,183 for the same eight months.

‘The director considers that the results for the period and the financial position at the end of the year were satisfactory,’ Waller-Bridge said in the accounts.

‘The review is consistent with the size and non-complex nature of the business. The main activities of the company remain the same, that of motion picture and television production. Trading was broadly in line with budgetary expectations.’

Following the success of Fleabag and Killing Eve, Waller-Bridge signed a major deal with Amazon. She also joined the writing team on the new James Bond film No Time To Die, which is out on September 30, to punch up the script.

As an actress, she will appear alongside Harrison Ford in the fifth instalment of the  Indiana Jones series.

And she was this year appointed the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society’s first president, nine years after debuting the stage version of Fleabag there.
