actually earn
within a year?
Submit your tips now and you will get the answer below.
A little warning in advance: Your salary proposals may be far too low.
A large part of the top earners on the following list were able to
dust off large sums of money
, especially thanks to
Netflix
.
In comparison, well-known studios often pay much less.
That's why Netflix pays its actors a particularly high salary
Every year the American magazine Forbes publishes a list of the actors who have earned the most in the past twelve months - incidentally, specific figures are also given.
The biggest peculiarity regarding the ranking of 2020: Many candidates are only in the top 10 because they appear in
Netflix productions
.
For some time now, the streaming service has been paying particularly high sums to its performers - but why is that actually?
Studios that produce films for the big screen pay actors more money when it is foreseeable that more people will go to the cinema for that one top star.
Netflix
calculates salaries according to slightly different criteria: Among other things, it matters
how many people subscribe to a particular film
and how long they keep this subscription.
The streaming service now has extensive options for determining such figures.
The success of an actor on social media platforms and the number of clicks on the respective films are also considered further criteria.
All in all,
Netflix
seems to make a
lot
more money than some Hollywood studios from film and series productions.
At the same time, the streaming giant is also spending a lot: Forbes suspects that Netflix will
pay
more than 17 billion dollars (around 14 billion euros)
for new productions
this year
.
