The late 80s and the 90s decade were his best earnings. I met Jack in the late 70s when I was a young man at a skating rink in LA, and he made me a bit nervous...😬
Nicholson made a bold move with Batman that changed how the industry compensated big stars: he swapped a big upfront salary for a share of the gross profits. It made him filthy rich.
@@generaluse2878 Nicholson accepted a $6 million salary, $4 million less than his usual, in exchange for a share of the box office and merchandising, which made him an additional $60 million, a record for an actor at the time.
Thanks for the input, @timothym.johnson3485! Easy Rider was a low-budget film, which explains Jack's low pay. However, he cleverly negotiated a backend deal and secured a share of the movie’s earnings. As for The St. Valentine's Day Massacre-sorry for missing that. I used certain criteria to exclude movies, but that was a mistake-I see that now. Check out some of my recent work; I’m much more thorough these days.
Thank you for bringing this up, @tylerdurden4483! My video is about his movies only, but he made a significant portion of his fortune through smart real estate investments. He also got into art collecting and a few business ventures on the side.
That's a wonderful idea, @jimmythebomb! I love those silent slapstick gems. I wonder if people-especially the audience of this channel-still know who he was.
Jim is ready, @rambopart34! Check it out: ruclips.net/video/8eWjnwMQtP4/видео.html Will is on the list and will be covered sooner or later, so stay tuned! 😉
Great pick, @B-Rad412! I can tell you in advance though, Chuck Norris didn’t make any money from his movies... so he roundhouse-kicked the box office so hard, it started paying him in gold bars!
That’s a metric I introduced later on as an improvement, and I’m glad you’re interested in it, @maciej12345678. I may remake some of my older videos to include inflation, ratios, and other factors. My format is a work in progress, so bear with me.
Hi I recently watched the stall one one you did, I was surprised how little he earned for the first 3 rocky films, are you going to do one on Mel Gibson
@@BoxOfficeJoe Mind-blowing indeed :) However, he rarely was a supporting actor and so he starred in most of his films and his percentage of hits vs flops/bombs is unparalleled
Beatty and Nicholson - Flop. Nicholson and Brando - Flop. Strange world. I'm going to start fact checking because The Border could not have costed $22 million. Desert cop film!
$67m in '89 is such an insane sum of money. Based on inflation, that's equivalent to $170m today

Great insight as always @MrEab2010!
And he deserved it because he carried that movie.
How much was his base salary for Batman?

@@generaluse2878$60 million I believe. The figure he showed here wasn’t correct in my opinion.
Outstanding job BOJ , Thank you for sharing !
Glad you enjoyed it 😌
I know it’s back in the day but would love to see Elvis’s income from his movies. If possible Paul Newman, and Robert Redford
Added them all to the list for you, @Mphil4266! I love the golden age, so this research will be fun!
Dennis Hopper said in an interview that Jack was paid scale for his role in Easy Rider.
You forgot The St. Valentines day massacre.

Weird that google says his networth is 400mill and he never made that much
