In terms of overall box-office take worldwide, her movies have grossed $12,902,620,282 (£10,425,200,000), which means she is surpassed only by Kevin Feige (USA) as the highest-grossing movie producer, whose 29 movies as producer have grossed $22,587,518,639 (£18,250,400,000). Despite this, she is currently considered more "bankable" on The-Numbers.com's Bankability Index based on the overall value that she adds to the movie industry.
