Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge is reportedly raking in a whopping £43,000 a day.

She has won three Primetime Emmy Awards, two Golden Globes and a British Academy Television Award.
And according to The Sun she had an annual turnover of £15.9million through her PMWB company.
The firm reported pre-tax profits of £9.8million for the year ending last November, the publication claims.

They go on to report that total the earnings were £27.9million, while she received £1.7million in dividend pay and a salary of £54,000.
A source told the publication: ‘These are amazing figures which go to show how Phoebe’s career has gone from strength to strength.’
It comes after last week the British screenwriter was spotted enjoying lunch with fashion designer Stella McCartney – and brandishing a huge diamond ring on her wedding finger.
The meeting between the pair – who were not previously known to be friends – has caused some to speculate that she may have some happy news to share.
Ms Waller-Bridge has been dating Irish-English playwright Martin McDonagh since 2017.
Ms McCartney’s fashion house makes wedding dresses – perhaps most notably the chic second gown the Duchess of Sussex wore at her 2018 wedding to Prince Harry.
In the Fleabag television series Ms Waller-Bridge’s character falls for the Hot Priest (played by Andrew Scott).
She and Ms McCartney, 51, seemed to be in a celebratory mood during the champagne-fuelled meal in London last week.

A spokeswoman for Ms Waller-Bridge did not respond when asked if the star was engaged.
But it would certainly signal that she has moved on after her divorce from her first husband, Irish author and documentary maker Conor Woodman, 49, was finalised last year.
The couple were married for three years from 2014 to 2017.
She has, until recently, remained tight-lipped over her latest relationship with Mr McDonagh who, aged 53, is 15 years her senior.
They were first spotted together at a screening of McDonagh’s Oscar-winning movie Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri in 2017.
However, she recently opened up about their relationship for the first time, describing him as ‘a genius’.
When asked if they read each other’s work, Ms Waller-Bridge, who helped polish the script for the latest Bond movie, No Time To Die, replied: ‘We don’t really share anything beforehand . . . I just really, really fancy him.

‘So if you show someone something, and you fancy them, it can become this blur.’
Having admired his work long before she met him, she admitted he has had a huge influence on her.
‘It’s really useful being with someone who I think is a genius, it just ups your game,’ she said.
‘I would always have wanted Martin McDonagh to think of my work as good, whether I was with him or not. I will find out now, either way.’
