Barbara Broccoli, a well-known figure in the United States film industry, is estimated to have a net worth ranging from $100,000 to $1 million by the year 2024. Renowned for her work as a producer, assistant director, and miscellaneous crew member, Broccoli has established herself as a talented and versatile professional. With a remarkable career spanning numerous successful film projects, she has undoubtedly earned both critical acclaim and financial success. As a key figure in the industry, Barbara Broccoli continues to be a significant contributor to the American film landscape.
Broccoli co-produced Chariots of Fire, the stage adaptation of the film of the same title. Broccoli's involvement with Chariots of Fire extends back to 1980, when she introduced her friend Dodi Fayed to the screenplay. He later co-financed the film and became its executive Producer. She co-produced the play along with Hugh Hudson, who directed the 1981 Oscar-winning film.
Broccoli is the daughter of the James Bond Producer Albert R. "Cubby" Broccoli and Actress Dana Wilson Broccoli (born Dana Natol). In 1995, Cubby Broccoli handed over control of Eon Productions, the production company responsible for the James Bond series of films, to Barbara and her half-brother Michael G. Wilson; they continue to run the company as of 2017. Barbara became President of the National Youth Theatre after the success of their 60th Anniversary Diamond Gala at Shaftesbury Theatre in 2016.
Following her father's death in 1996, Broccoli worked with London theatre Producer Michael Rose, to create the stage musical version of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang based on the 1968 musical film starring Dick Van Dyke and Sally Ann Howes. Broccoli rehired the original songwriters from the film to write the new material for the stage version. The Sherman Brothers wrote five new songs for the show which debuted on April 16, 2002. The show ran at the London Palladium and was the most financially successful show to have ever played there, breaking numerous other impressive records.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang later transferred to Broadway, but was considered a failure, receiving poor reviews and playing just 319 performances, closing with the loss of a large proportion of the initial $15m investment. The musical has toured extensively in the UK and in Asia, with a revised version of the show touring the United States in 2008.
