Broccoli is the daughter of the James Bond producer Albert R. "Cubby" Broccoli and actress Dana Wilson Broccoli (born Dana Natol).

In 1995, Cubby Broccoli handed over control of Eon Productions, the production company responsible for the James Bond series of films, to Barbara and her half-brother Michael G. Wilson; they continue to run the company as of 2019.

Barbara Broccoli’s political donations show her to be a liberal Democrat, but she would be hammered by her extended family if she endangered the astonishingly lucrative Bond franchise through bad script choices or idiotic casting. By gifts and inheritances, “Cubby” Broccoli and his heirs widely parcelled out pieces of the Bond franchise throughout the family. There are toddlers today who, unawares, are set for golden lives so long as James Bond keeps earning big.

IIRC, I read a WSJ article about the handover some years ago. Cubby told his kids something like this: “You have a gold mine here - don’t muck it up.”
