Roberts runs the production company Red Om Films, through which she has served as an executive producer for various projects she has starred in, as well as for the first four films of the American Girl franchise (2004–2008). She has served as the global ambassador for Lancôme since 2009. She was the world's highest-paid actress for most of the 1990s and the first half of the 2000s.
