As you can see Greta started off earning around $500 a week per film during the silent era. Her first substantial payday was for the one-two punch of Anna Christie and Susan Lennox in 1931. Her biggest payday wound up being Camille with about half a million dollars. It is surprising that her last film, the much critized Two-Faced Woman actually was a bigger payday for her over the better loved Ninotchka.

She probably had more bargaining power after Ninotchka's huge success at the box office. Hence, why she made more for a less that stellar film.
