This talented and actor's fee is such that it would put shame on millionaire business moguls! Giving a quick hint, this isn't Bollywood. We mean, it's neither Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, or even Amitabh Bachchan. Yes, this is someone from Hollywood. But he is not Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt. However, he also has a massive fan following worldwide. The actor made a million bucks, thanks to this movie franchise.
We are talking about Keanu Reeves. After the massive success of The Matrix in the late 90s, many Hollywood producers wanted to work with him. Even the sequels Reloaded and Revolutions worked well, for which he charged $33 million. Then he charged more with share-in profits and residual income of the science fiction franchise.
Well, overall, the next two movies made a massive collection of $1.2 billion at the box office. Even on OTT and TV, it has witnessed huge success. Thanks to this big feat, Keanu Reeves earned a humongous $156 million from a single movie production. Thus, making him the world's highest-ever paid actor.
Keanu Reeves' left behind Tom Cruise and Shah Rukh Khan. Cruise's highest-known salary so far has been $100 million. As reported by several entertainment news reports, $40 million is what SRK's pay check was, or Jawan. However, after that franchise, Keanu has not charged this whopping fee for any other movie. He is in fact known in the media and industry for his humble and kind nature. Often, his interviews go viral on social media. The actor's another successful franchise is John Wick. The fourth film was released in 2023 and it was a blockbuster worldwide. Fans are always looking forward to his work, hoping he keeps delivering amazing performances.
