Re: Highest Paid Acting job of all time?
MrWookie - great sleuthing. Tom Cruise is extremely wealthy.
This is from an article discussing Keanu Reeves, who is not on the wiki list:
Keanu Reeves became the highest paid actor to date based on the two Matrix sequels, for which he received $206 million from a 15 percentage of the box office takings and untold revenues from the Matrix video game, DVDs and eventual TV sales. So, while most people would never guess that Keanu Reeves eclipsed Tom Cruise's bankable status, the enigmatic Canadian has run circles around Hollywood.
If the 15% is anywhere near true the $200M+ figure makes sense.
Keanu Reeves is also extremely wealthy.
