The highest paid actors in Hollywood in 2021; Daniel Craig tops the list

The Highest Paid Actors In Hollywood In 2021; Daniel Craig Tops The List

In The 1990s, Jim Carrey’s $ 20 Million Income From Acting In Just One Movie Seemed Like A Lot Of Money. Now, However, This Amount Is Almost A Small Amount.

Daniel Craig Tops The List, With the advent of streaming services, actors’ incomes have skyrocketed. One big reason is that services like Netflix and Amazon have to pay heavy premiums to their stars because they can’t, like film studios, pay actors from the movie sales in cinemas.

Daniel Craig earned astronomical income from playing in the next two episodes of the “Stabbing” movie series, set to air on Netflix. The streaming giant has also paid huge sums of money to Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence to star in “The Little Things.”

However, stars such as Denzel Washington (with Little Things) and Will Smith (with King Richard) still make a lot of money from their traditional movie theaters.

The list of Variety magazine of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood in 2021 is as follows.

Daniel Craig: More than $ 100 million (Stabbing 2 and Stabbing 3)

Ryan Johnson’s detective film starring Daniel Craig as a private detective Benoit Blanc sold well in its 2019 theatrical release and earned Johnson an Academy Award nomination for Best Screenplay.

That was enough for Netflix to seize the opportunity to buy a franchise for the film for $ 450 million.

Craig’s work will end with a $ 100 million salary when the sequels to the film are completed. Of course, if Netflix decides to make more sequels for the film, Craig will also earn more.

Dwayne Rock Johnson: $ 50 Million (Red Announcement Movie)

Johnson is currently working with Chris Morgan, screenwriter of “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw” to make an action-adventure film with a Christmas theme for the Amazon service, which is set to air in the 2023 holidays.

He also earned $ 22 million from starring in the action movie “Red Notice,” which is set to air on Netflix this year.

Will Smith: $ 40 Million (King Richard)

Smith has been one of Hollywood’s highest-paid actors for decades. This trend will continue with his latest role in “King Richard.” He plays the father of Venus and Serena Williams, the sisters of the famous tennis player, in the film, which is scheduled to be released simultaneously in cinemas for a month in November this year on the HBV Max network.

Denzel Washington: $ 40 Million (Little Things Movie)

Like Smith, decades of Washington box office success have earned him huge profits. The same is true of his recent film, The Little Things, which aired simultaneously in theaters for a month this year and aired on HBV Max.

Leonardo DiCaprio: $ 30 million (do not watch the video above)

Netflix finally managed to keep DiCaprio and, of course, had to pay a lot of money to get it.
