As a veteran influencer of Hollywood, Jennifer Aniston has made her fiscal standing in the industry as jaw-dropping as it can get. Blessed with a multitude of talents, her acting career and fashion serves have dictated generations of style updates and poster features. The impact has been so noteworthy that she even landed herself a deal with this Middle Eastern aviation giant to score a package worth $5 million for becoming the face of their brand.

Over the years, many celebrities, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Chris Hemsworth, and now, Penélope Cruz, have been the face of this brand. However, Aniston’s clinching the deal back in 2015 made her the second Hollywood star to become the face of a UAE-based Airline.

Jennifer Aniston has always been fond of big splurges, whether a mistake or treat. And to make sure she satiates that hunger for a splurge, she has made her name big enough to crack lucrative deals like the one she secured in 2015 with Emirates Airlines as was revealed to Page Six by sources. The news came shortly after Etihad Airlines, the second-largest UAE Airline, introduced Nicole Kidman as their brand endorser.

The source informed that Aniston had “shot a high-profile campaign for Emirates as a part of this deal, for which she is being paid around $5 million.”. Furthermore, as a part of that deal, she would have supposedly appeared “across TV and print ads worldwide.”. Although back then neither the Airline representatives nor Aniston made comments regarding the contract, the American actress did become the poster girl of Emirates’ global advertising campaign.

Nearly a year ago ahead of Emirates’ mid-summer ad campaign, the Middle Eastern giant announced Penélope Cruz, sealing the deal as the face of the brand. The ad collaboration she starred in was for the summer of 2023 for the airline’s Fly Better commercial campaign. The ad highlights the premium A380 products, which include first class, business class, and premium economy.

Moreover, the commercial also came out as a fashion-focused campaign. Although Aniston too played her role for an A380 ad campaign, the difference is quite drastic in both the commercial’s tones. In fact, Cruz’s advertisements vary quite a lot from the brand’s past campaigns. And even though the figure estimate remains classified for getting Cruz on board, probability says that it is no less lucrative than Aniston’s 2015 deal.
