With Net Worth of $440 Million, This Actor Earned More Than Tom Cruise and Jackie Chan
Do you really need a famous franchise story after your name to become rich and successful?
Adam Sandler is proof that you can really be yourself and do movies that you like and still be famous and appreciated in a financial sense.
Well known for being hilarious and generally a delight to watch on the screen, Adam Sandler has been a part of countless movies that have provided the viewers with a good laugh or a heartfelt cry.
This just shows how dynamic the actor can be with his characters, which has helped him immensely in his career.
And with all these facts in mind, it's no wonder that every movie he made became a blockbuster. Now Sandler is actually pretty picky with the movies he makes, and we can't say we see him much on the screen.
But it still doesn't mean he is jobless or not earning millions just while you are reading this.
In 2017, for example, Sandler was one of the top five highest-paid movie stars of the year. And frankly, the actors who shared the list with him were pretty impressive to beat.
Sandler was the fourth one in the top 5, after Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Vin Diesel. Sandler earned $50.5 million that year!
That is even more than such A-list actors as Jackie Chan, Tom Cruise, Robert Downey Jr., and Shah Rukh Khan pocketed.
Many may raise eyebrows at this, but in fact it is really not that difficult to explain why he is that rich.
The year 2017 happened to be the golden goose for Adam Sandler, because he signed an almost $250 million deal with Netflix for four movies.
This turned out to be about $62 million per movie. He also starred in three different movies in the same year.
That became the reason why it was so easy for Sandler to climb the ladder of success and become so wealthy and popular, and also to get the status of one of the most well-paid movie stars, now worth almost $440 million.
