Princess Beatrice's $30K Salary Revealed in Sony Cyber Attack

Sony's recent cyber security hack has no sympathy for royalty.

The hack - which revealed the salaries of actors James Franco and Seth Rogen - also unveiled the salary of Princess Beatrice, daughter of Prince Andrew, Us Weekly reported.

Beatrice, who is sixth in line to the throne, earns about $30,300 a year as a U.K.-based "intermediate coordinating producer," a job she started in January of this year, according to Entertainment Weekly.

"Princess Beatrice continues to work full-time in the business sector," a spokesman told People Magazine. The palace and Beatrice's work place will not confirm her salary details.

The 26-year-old royal's private information was among the information gathered by an unknown group called the "Guardians of Peace." It also revealed the salaries of more than 6,000 Sony employees and private information on "upcoming films and passwords to emails and social media accounts."

The hack revealed that CEO Michael Lynton and co-chair of SPE Amy Pascal supposedly earn $3 million per year.

Some have speculated that North Korea is among the top suspects in the ongoing investigation. The country has been feuding with Sony over the release of its upcoming film, "The Interview," a comedy about the assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

"We do not know where in America the SONY Pictures is situated and for what wrongdoings it became the target of the attack," a North Korean military spokesman said in a statement published Sunday. "But what we clearly know is that the SONY Pictures is the very one which was going to produce a film abetting a terrorist act while hurting the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK. The hacking into the SONY Pictures might be a righteous deed of the supporters and sympathizers with the DPRK in response to its appeal."
