12 Acting Salaries You Simply Won't Believe

3. Bruce Willis - The Sixth Sense

Salary: $120 Million Bruce Willis seemingly works solely for the money nowadays, if his terminally bored performances in most of his recent films are anything to go by. Back in the nineties, he was still trying to find quality scripts in between blockbusters, and he hit the jackpot with The Sixth Sense. He was still uneasy about signing on since the film was a risk, so the studio sweetened his deal considerably. His fee would be $14 million, and a tidy share of whatever profits the movie made. The Sixth Sense was far from a guaranteed smash, so the deal seemed fair. Nobody could have predicted it would be the word of mouth hit it was, with the movie claiming close to $700 million worldwide. Willis managed to cleave about twenty percent of that for himself, meaning his final cheque came to $120 million. With that in mind, he has absolutely no reason to look grumpy about anything.
