10 Co-Stars Paid Vastly Different Salaries For The Same Film
2. Leonardo DiCaprio & Jonah Hill - The Wolf Of Wall Street
While it's basically expected that Leonardo DiCaprio is going to get paid more than his co-stars due to the sheer star magnetism he brings to any project, the pay gap between him and Jonah Hill on Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street is straight-up cuckoo bananas.
DiCaprio was paid $10 million to play crooked stockbroker protagonist Jordan Belfort, but Hill, who plays the prominent part of Belfort's right-hand man Donnie Azoff, received just $60,000 in total.
Hill himself revealed that he was given only the SAG minimum for his acting work on the project, which given the movie's $100 million budget surely couldn't help but sting.
Even accepting that Hill was eager to work with Scorsese, given that he had an Oscar nomination to his name before the film started shooting it's shocking that he wasn't able to negotiate himself a better fee.
Much as DiCaprio brings immense value to any project he signs on for, Hill deserved more than a laughable 0.006% of what his co-star was paid.
