Find Out Who's Making What In Hollywood + Not So Famous High Paying Entertainment Careers

Image
Now this is the stuff I want to know. And for the record I know these are guesstimates for the most part but pretty close at least...they better be. Anywho, The Hollywood Reporter in their Money Issue gathered the salaries for some of your favs and not so favs in Hollywood including a few behind the scene gigs and you'd be surprised to see who's taking in what and how some aren't getting quite enough. Click to Enlarge How bad is the decline in actor salaries over the past decade? Despite the huge sums still being raked in by such superstars as  Robert Downey Jr.  (his $75 million comes from his 7 percent, first-dollar slice of  Iron Man 3 , as well as his $12 million HTC endorsement deal) and  Sandra Bullock  (a 15 percent, first-dollar deal on  Gravity  and about $10 million more for her summer hit  The Heat ), most actors are feeling a definite squeeze, especially those in the middle.  

Beyonce Named Highest-Earning Black Artist Of ALL Time

As if African American artist was taken... Beyoncé   has been named the highest-paid black artist of all time. According to  Billboard magazine , Queen B has overtaken previous earning records held by the likes of  Michael Jackson , his sister  Janet  and  Prince   to take the title - and it's all thanks to her Mrs Carter Show world tour. Last year Beyonce on her lonesome took home $212 million with about 1.8 million tickets sold to her The Mrs. Carter Show world tour over 126 dates. Not bad, huh?

Instead of Jay's charity receiving a percentage of the line's proceeds he managed to get Barneys to donate ALL proceeds to his Shawn Carter Foundation PLUS 10% of ALL Barneys sales on the first day the line debuted which means the SCF will be receiving one million bucks!! The Shawn Carter Foundation has $1 million more in its coffers thanks to profits from the luxury clothing line  Jay Z  launched at Barneys’ flagship Manhattan store six weeks ago. A source close to Barneys said figures were being tallied on Friday, the last day of sales, but profits had exceeded the million-dollar mark. The collection was unveiled amid a surge of criticism from Jay Z fans who wanted him to pull out of the Barneys deal after two black shoppers said they were racially p...
