>So $900k/yr per soldier in their godless AI army when that amount of earnings could qualify thirty-five actors and their families for SAG-AFTRA health insurance is just ghoulish,
How many actors could Adam Sandler's $250M Netflix deal pay for?
- AndrewKemendo 3y agoHow long is a piece of string?
- bertil 3y agoThere are union minimum rates [1] for actors, and a lot of people are paid as much, so, in practice, this is not an absurdly unspecified question but a genuinely easy one to answer: $250M / $1,082 = 231,053 days of work.

- capableweb 3y agoConsidering how many people would do shows/movies for free in the start of their career, answer would be ∞
- esotericimpl 3y agoThere's zero people who can do netflix shows or movies for free because of the Screen Actors Guild. These aren't independent college movies or something you're making for your youtube channel. WTF is this comment.
- dehrmann 3y agoIt's the same for music. Why would you bother developing something around AI-generated music when there's an unending supply of kids passionate about music who will generate content for free in the hopes of being discovered?
- covercash 3y agoThat’s a deal with him and his production company, Happy Madison. He’s not personally pocketing $250 million, and a portion of that will go toward paying actors, crew, and other staff. If any of the internet anecdotes are to be believed, he takes care of his employees.

- tmpz22 3y agoKylian Mbappe was recently offered $776 MILLION in salary for a 1-year deal as the highest paid soccer (football) player [1]. Jaylen Brown will be making $304 MILLION over 5 years for the Boston Celtics as the highest paid NBA player. Wealth inequality from predominantly ads-based (tv-deals) business models is a cancer to our society.

- mucle6 3y agoThe economy is not zero sum, other people making large sums of money shouldn't make you upset. Those athletes are paid that much because the fans (customers) value them that much.
- ajkjk 3y ago> other people making large sums of money shouldn't make you upset. Why not? It clearly shows that there is a screw loose. Or put differently: it reminds us of the fundamental truth that in society, people without power get as little as is available to keep them alive and sometimes less, and people with power (in this case, the power of a good negotiating position) get as much as is available to pay them. The world doesn't _have_ to work this way. There is no reason we need to be okay with it. Poorer people could be paid more and rich people paid less and things would basically work the same way.
- pipes 3y agoShould all actors earn the same amount of money? Even if certain actors make the studio millions while others don't?
- thebradbain 3y agoThe unions guarantee a minimum price floor for actors, and healthcare if you work full time. No maximums. Unfortunately the entire reason for the strike is studios will rarely, unless you are very top talent, deviate from the minimums. They would often try to go even lower, if they could. Hence the strike is to raise the minimums. There’s 160,000 members of SAG. There’s maybe only 50 household-name celebrities acting in any one year? Those 50 are not representative of everyone who acts at all.
- falcolas 3y ago86% of SAG actors make less than $23k. Even the leads on popular streaming TV shows work another full time job to be able to afford to live because the pay and residuals for streaming shows are measured in pennies per episode.
- creer 3y agoDon't you think Netflix would enthusiastically pay only $200M for the same thing if only they could?
- tennisflyi 3y agoLol You think people don’t look at y’all’s TC and ask the same? Or are y’all special?
