According to the hacked files (via Forbes), Beatrice, 26, only makes £19,500 ($30,300) — a seemingly small sum for someone from such a wealthy family. Beatrice is an intermediate coordinating producer in the company's London offices.

The hack released the salary details of Sony executives and stars, including SPE CEO Michael Lynton and co-chair of SPE Amy Pascal, who each supposedly top the list at $3 million per year. It also sent out Social Security numbers and private data for more than 47,000 current and former employees of the company.

A group called the Guardians of Peace leaked the documents to journalists on Friday, Dec. 5, and though North Korea — who has been feuding with the studio over James Franco and Seth Rogen's upcoming film The Interview — was initially thought to be behind it, country officials have since claimed not to be involved.

"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 in a statement published Sunday, Dec. 7. "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."

The film features Franco and Rogen sent on a mission to kill current North Korean leader Kim Jong-un under the guise of a talk show interviewer and his producer.
