Taraji P. Henson Reveals She Was Paid $150,000 for Oscar-Nominated Role & Took Home Only $30,000

[O³ (O cubed)]

They were already box office stars when they won it though, so they probably didn’t see the same boost a less established actress like Taraji could/did when she won. Kinda like Nas winning a Grammy isn’t really boosting him financially now, but it would probably be a great look for a young rapper.

Denzel was a star. Halle Berry wasn't. Name me one film that Ms Berry was a star that did big numbers pre and post Oscar win.

She was Storm in the X men series and she was the Bond girl in one of the 007 films

Y'all remember this story:

Michelle Williams spoke out about the pay disparity between her and former co-star Mark Wahlberg. He was paid $1.5 million for reshoots on "All the Money in the World" while she only made $1,000.

They're repped by the same agency. But Wahlberg negotiated for more money.

The more you make

the more they take


Especially if you’re black


Yet Jeff Bezos paid zero taxes in 2017

Jeff Bezos paid tax through his employees. Without him over 1,300,000 people don't have jobs. Job creators bless everyone and their employees pay tax.

Monique could learn a thing or two.

Like what? Monique was having the same problem and was also speaking out against it. She was just the 1st to do it.

And she's been right every time. Tyler Perry fukked her over too and she has receipts.

Plus, she's making bank in Vegas now.

She should be mad at her lawyer and agent

Brad Pitt has been paid $15 - 20 million per film since the late 1990s. He's consistently been one of Hollywood's TOP 5 to 10 highest paid actors.

That dude tripping Brad been a superstar

Benjamin button :
Budget $150–167 million[2][3][4]
Box office $335.8 million

Damn she got .001% of the whole bundget of the film that’s blatant racism. She could’ve easily gotten 1.5M which would’ve been .01% of the budget at the very least

 

[King]

She could make 100x that if she started an Onlyfans

In less than a year

Not surprised


Everybody else has to get paid first before you get paid

It’s not even a “loophole” though. It’s literally you doing what the government wants you to do, employ people so you pay them so that the government doesn’t have to.

It’s more than just those type of loopholes that they exploit though. Trump told people what the game was when he flat out stated that he took advantage of those Obama tax breaks that Biden complained about.

 

[Bruce LeRoy]

She was Storm in the X men series and she was the Bond girl in one of the 007 films

She was also in Swordfish which was a successful box office film.

 

[Starburst]

Why didn’t her agent negotiate a better deal?

 

[King Poetic]

Viola Davis in a recent interview with Porter magazine explaining why pay disparities are an issue: “If Caucasian women are getting 50 percent of what men are getting paid, we’re not even getting a quarter of what white women are getting paid.” Actresses like Meryl Streep and Nicole Kidman deserve everything they get, she said. “But guess what — I deserve it too. So does Octavia Spencer, Taraji P. Henson, Halle Berry. We’ve put the work in too.”

I heard years ago these black actresses are not eating like they supposed to

and if u a b or c list black actress then u better do a jada p smith route and latched on to a brother with money in the industry

I'm surprised Hollywood hasn't made the move to having actors pay to be in movies. There's so many struggling wannabes down in SoCal, I'm sure they could start selling bit-parts - if they don't already.

They do sell roles but they don't take payment in cash.
