Barbra Streisand Unveils 'Pissed Off' Moment: Pay Disparity in Iconic Comedy

Barbra Streisand: The Queen of Entertainment Reveals Her Secret Life

The legendary Barbra Streisand, 83, has been dazzling audiences for six and a half decades with her incredible voice, captivating stage presence, and unmatched talent. With a net worth of an astonishing $510 million, it's no wonder she's considered the ultimate diva of show business.

But behind the glamour and fame lies a very private person who doesn't like to be tied down by commitments or responsibilities. In a candid interview with Variety, Streisand revealed her surprising admission: "I'm very lazy. I don't like to have to work." Who wouldn't want to be this rich and successful? It's enough to make us all wonder what secrets she's hiding in that vast fortune of hers.

The multi-Grammy winner is gearing up for the release of her new album, The Secret of Life: Partners, Volume Two, a follow-up to her 2014 hit record. This time around, she's shared the mic with an eclectic mix of A-listers, including Ariana Grande, Paul McCartney, Tim McGraw, and Sam Smith. With a documentary about her life in the works (directed by Oscar nominee Frank Marshall), it's only natural that fans are curious about what goes on behind the scenes.

One thing is certain: Streisand knows how to command attention. When asked if she'd reprise her role as Ben Stiller's mom Roz Focker in the Meet the Parents franchise, she responded with a healthy dose of humor and realism. "Oh my God! They'd have to pay me a lot of money because I didn't get paid what the other people got paid and so I'm pissed off," she joked about her experience working on the 2004 comedy Meet the Fockers and its 2010 sequel Little Fockers.

But despite her proclaimed aversion to work, Streisand is executive producing a multi-part docuseries on her life, which is sure to give fans an unprecedented glimpse into her world. She's also produced her latest album, emphasizing that she likes to be in control: "I have to approve everything. That's the way it was with me at the beginning, and that's the way it is with me at the ending."

When asked about what makes her happy, Streisand revealed that she feels most at home in a recording studio, where she can be alone and simply sing without having to worry about makeup or performances. "I'm alone. I can look like a schlump. I don't have to perform. And I love doing that. I love recording," she gushed.

As for whether we'll see her back on stage or screen again, only time will tell. For now, fans can look forward to The Secret of Life: Partners, Volume Two, which drops this Friday. With a career spanning over six decades and an estimated net worth of $510 million, it's clear that Barbra Streisand is a true legend in her own right.
