USA Today reports that Wahlberg was paid $1.5 million for his work, while Williams made $1,000. Williams, who plays the mother of kidnapping victim John Paul Getty III in the upcoming flick, previously told the publication that when she was called back to the set, she agreed: “I’d be wherever they needed me, whenever they needed me. And they could have my salary, they could have my holiday, whatever they wanted. Because I appreciated so much that they were making this massive effort.”

Williams’ unequal pay caused quite a stir when outraged fans agreed the paycheck disparity was “unacceptable,” as described by Williams’ close friend Busy Philipps.

Please go see Michelle's performance in All The Money in The World. She's a brilliant Oscar nominated Golden Globe winning actress. She has been in the industry for 20 yrs. She deserves more than 1% of her male costar' s salary. https://t.co/HIniew6lf7

Love ppl defending Mark Wahlberg getting paid 1000% more than Michelle Williams for All The Money in the World reshoot with stuff like, "I don't even know who she is" & "he's sold more movies."
Congratulations.

The Washington Post previously reported in November that Wahlberg made nearly $2 million for 10 days of work for reshoots after Christopher Plummer took the place of Kevin Spacey following sexual misconduct allegations.
