To make it far in Hollywood, one needs talent, looks and a good agent. Some of Hollywood's biggest stars have been able to secure multi-millions for movie projects that otherwise would have netted them only a small fortune. Take A-list celeb Sandra Bullock, for instance. Her Oscar-nominated performance in "Gravity" earned her rave reviews...and an estimated $70 million paycheck. Bullock was paid $20 million upfront for her role in Alfonso Cuaron's space thriller and then received a big cut of the movie's box office receipts; "Gravity" took in $710 million worldwide.
Bullock's decision to forgo her
usual salary in exchange for back end points is not unusual: Bruce
Willis, Cameron Diaz, Johnny Depp, Keanu Reeves and Tom Hanks have also
reaped huge financial rewards for clever contracts.
