17th of May, 2011 by
Have you ever gone to the movies and said these tickets are too expensive? Have you ever questioned the movie and the people behind the movie what they make in earnings? Lets take a look at actor Johnny Depp; have you ever seen a movie with Johnny Depp? Well guess what; Johnny Depp gets $20 to $44 million per movie, thats per film salary. The average time for an actor to film as an actor is about 40 days work, if you average 30 days work at $20 million thats about $6,000.00 to $20,000.00 dollars an hour depending on the days of the film is laid out in. All 5 star hotel expenses, traveling first class and all, all paid for besides the actors salary.

Johnny Depps earnings

Yearly: $100,000,000.00
Monthly: $8,333,333.33
Weekly : $1,923,076.92
Daily: $384,615.38

Per film average is $20 to $44 million plus lifetime royalties

Considering the US economy is in recession as the average annual income in the United States is $31,000.00 a year. Doesnt it make you angry when you see people like Johny Depp making $6,000.00 an hour to $20,000.00 per hour or $20 to $44 million over a 1 to 2 months worth of work? How about 2 or 3 films in one year at $20 $44 million per film and royalties on top of that too. Do you think he thinks about the salaries other people make such as for example at $8.00 $10.00 $18.00 $20.00 an hour behind the set or people behind a coffee counter or restaurant what they make? Do you think he cares about how hard a 75 year old man still having to work as his pension doesnt pay him enough for his medication to work a part-time job at $8.00 an hour when someone like Johnny Depp makes over $6,000.00 to $20,000.00 an hour? Johnny Depp driving a brand new 2010 $350,000.00 Lamborghini down the street and mega million dollar homes, what about those people working for $8.00 an hour? You think Johnny Depp thinks about how hard people work and how they have to earn a living? What if we took Johnny Depp and said Johnny, we have a movie and we need an actor for it. We have a limited budget. We can only pay you $10.00 an hour and if that isnt enough $100.00 an hour maybe. What do you think Johnny Depp would say? Take a guess. Just imagine it? $20 million per film salary to work for $10.00 or $100.00 an hour, do you think he would work for it? If not, how many Americans right now would want to make $10.00 an hour in a bad recession economy? If Johnny Depp said no and you said yes, how does that make you feel and how does it make Johnny Depp feel. Cheap versing not enough.

Isnt it wonderful that Hollywood pays only a handful of people big money and star royalty treatment? Well Johnny Depp does not think his salary is a ripoff and nor does he think about the hard workers behind the set making $8.00 an hour to pay $10.50 or more per movie ticket either.

Ever seen Johnny Depp pay a role as a low income worker making low money as the character in a movie but really in real life, he is mega rich. He pays the poor character and hungry but thats only behind the set when he has millions in his bank account. And lets not forget lifetime royalties either. Each film also Johnny Depp gets a royalty as well. Johnny Depp still gets a paycheck every time that movie plays and every other film he acted in has to pay his royalty. When you see a movie and see all the credits behind a movie, think about all the people behind the set making hourly wages from $8.00 to $15.00 an hour to do all the little things behind a movie. Now think of Johnny Depp with all those people making those wages and him making $6,000.00 to $20,000.00 an hour? Does that sound fair? What about a movie 14 years ago and everybody back than already worked and got paid but Johnny Depp is still getting paid, every movie. I mean really how much is too much? Do you think he is a RIPOFF. I would say so. Listen he maybe an actor but in my opinion not a great actor. There are thousands of talented Broadway actors that make $15 to $20 an hour, why do those talented Broadway actors have to make so little but Johnny Depp has to make $6,000.00 to $20,000.00 dollars an hour versing them? Whats the difference? The world is full of talented actors, is it fair that people have to make so much more than others?

If you took a bunch of employees making $8.00 an hour, how many employees would it take them to earn their wages to pay off Johnny Depp for his per film salary at $20 million dollars, imagine? Lets say the average week of work is 40 hours at week at $8.00 an hour to total $20 million. How many employees would it take to per off Will Smiths $20 million from people making minimum wage at $8.00. It would take about 62,500 employees for one week at $320.00 each to cover Johnny Depp $20 million dollar per film annual salary). Wow Thats 62,500 people at $8.00 an hour to pay Johnny Depp (and thats not even $44 million which means a whole lot more minimum wage employees to cover his salary) and I didnt even mention taxes. Now wonder why so many people are broke, paying these huge American Hollywood salaries. Do you think Johnny Depp would say yeah maybe I am making too much money, Ill take a pay cut? Probably not. What if people complained and said that movie is a ripoff, a refund or dont pay the money to the actors. Do you think Johnny Depp will be understanding and not charge his $20 to $44 dollar per film wage to satisfy movie goers his role was not so great? What do you think he would do, rein verse his salary to the movie producers if customers are not happy? I mean isnt America the refund country if you dont like it take it back? What if the earnings of the money were awful, would Johnny Depp say ok the movie didnt make enough money and everybodys in debt to make the movie, he would cut is salary so the movie could break even? Do you think Johnny Depp would be understanding or say, no I am worth $20 to $44 million in everything I do per film and you pay me for it? Take a guess what Johnny Depp would do.

Do you know if you go to college and you get your bachelors you may earn an extra $2 million in your lifetime in your career because you went to school. Lets say you make $65,000.00 a year and you work 30 years, how much are you worth when you retire versing Johnny Depp at about $50 to $100 plus million a year? $1,950,000.00 for 30 years (working 8 to 5, 5 day a week year around with 2 weeks vacation) where Johnny Depp will make 10% more each year for example his 30 years could be worth over a billion easily plus he vacations almost all year around and around the global because he makes so much money. Do you feel it is too much? You work hard and he doesnt compared to hard working Americans. I mean really compare a hard working job making less than $10.00 an hour or even $20.00 or etc. Can you picture Johnny Depp landscaping, housecleaning, construction or concrete work or etc.

The bottom line is Johnny Depp is a ripoff and Hollywood production companies should be ashamed of themselves to pay greedy celebrity actors mega million per film salaries. Why do they pay so much to these actors? What is the reason for it? The Country is broke, the unemployment rate is 9.7% and businesses are suffering in financial debt but Hollywood continues to pay these ripoff salaries to Johnny Depp and others.

If you feel this is wrong and disgusted with Johnny Depps salary send him a letter to his agent and complain how much is too much. Think theyll respond? After all Johnny Depp is in a Union, these wonderful unions to allow actors like this to make mega millions. Look at the US economy and where the money is going.

Shack of shame isnt it. Shame on Johnny Depp for this incredible salary costing people millions to live his fortune on greed.

After the filming is done what does he do afterwards. Flys home while to act on another high paying film contract on something else while the rest of the film editors, directors and producers are stuck geting the [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]movie[/color][/color] together months and months later. Sure it is unfair that this business pays these actors these absurd salaries and the rest get nothing.

It is not a fair business as the actors don't write the films or invest their own money in them, they just appear to act in them and want no part of the [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]movie[/color][/color] later. Actors should not get the credit, the writers and investors should be getting the money after all its their idea, why should actors get a percentage of the profit if they did nothing but played only an acting role? Johnny Depps leaves after the set is done on a private jet which the production company pays for. I personally think it is sick that how bad the economy is and you have an actor like this living high on the hog in life with people throwing money at him. He is not a doctor saving lives or something, he is just an actor, thats it and nothing more. What can he do? Just act. The guy is getting too much bottom line and he probably doesn't realize it either because he has been making too money for too long.
