What I'm getting from this is that India is the only country between the three with color TV.

What was Tyler Perry in that he reached those kind of numbers? All I know is that he's into model planes (the massive kind), which makes him cool in my book. But I don't think I've ever seen him in anything?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 months ago

He's more into producing these days I believe. He created those Madea movies my wife goes bananas for.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Huh, weird that it is almost inversely proportional to who should be paid the most based on their talent

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

In that case I know a barista who makes the best coffee in the world. He should be millionaire

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Given that these days a decent house costs a million dollars, I think everyone in the world should be a millionaire.

At least until we abolish money.

[–] GCanuck 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Unfortunately talent is less important than branding.

[–] cmbabul 3 points 3 months ago

And in Jerry’s case being a writer and producer too, how is Larry not also on the list? Did he lose a bunch of his Seinfeld and Curb money?

[–] fox2263 11 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Besides being a bee and having a show named after him, why is he so rich?

[–] Somethingcheezie 15 points 3 months ago

Contract negotiations gave him percentages of the shows royalties and not a fixed wage.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

He won a lawsuit against humanity, got all the world's honey, and sold it for cash.

[–] johannesvanderwhales 3 points 3 months ago

Seinfeld was and still is a ridiculously expensive property to get the rights for.

Syndication

Im an uncultured swine. I thought Jackie was American, he is in fact not.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

Nope, from Hong Kong, and a huge simp for CCP, authoritarian asshole and a shitty father for publicly shaming his son for cannabis use

[–] kamenlady 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

You have good memory

Since 2013, Chan has been a pro-Chinese Communist Party (CCP) politician, having served two terms as a delegate to the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and, in 2021, expressing his desire to join the CCP.

Edit: i find it really weird, that he started simpin' in 2013. Late in his successful actor career, also getting recognition in the USA, he started liking the CCP.

I don't get it

Edit 2: hemko edited his comment, that's why my linktext "you have good memory" doesn't make any sense. They do indeed have a good memory, so it's at least correct.

[–] norimee 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That he started to be a CCP Polititian in 2013 doesn't mean he wasn't simping for them before. He probably was just too busy with his career to play an active role in the party. He spoke out in their favour way before this.

[–] kamenlady 1 points 3 months ago

That sounds right

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah probably should have just appended to the original message, but felt weird starting with that since I opened his Wikipedia page between the post and edit lol

[–] kamenlady 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I figured, i also took a peek. He was the longest time the greatest for me, loved his movies with Samo Hung. That was a great time for Hong Kong cinema.

It's a shame for him to be such an asshat irl.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Yeah, also grew up watching his movies and with all these stories how he bassass talented he actually was :/

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

a huge simp for CCP and an authoritarian asshole

Yes. awful.

a shitty father for publicly shaming his son for cannabis use

This was probably mostly due to pressure from the public. For all we know he might actually not consider cannabis use a problem. You have no idea how much hate and poopoo cannabis gets here in East Asia. Not denouncing his son then would be career suicide.

Ultimately, both being a simp for the CCP and denouncing his son's cannabis use serve a single purpose: get them juicy thicc Chinese Yuan. Of course, that doesn't make CCP-simping or son-shaming okay, but if I were to be a actor in Hong Kong, I might also consider doing the same.

Regime hoes joining billion dollar club... Great to see these people live their best lives while rest of the country is facing harsh economic conditions.

Better people deserve to live better!

We should celebrate their success!

Now get back to cucking peasant lol

[–] norimee 6 points 3 months ago

Shah Rukh Kahn is by far the ritchest person on this list even though he isn't by USD.

He made this money in a country where the median income is less than $100 a month. The buying power in India of Rs 65 Billion is absolutely mindblowing and not even comparable to the other actors here.

Hollywood likes to swap out female leads for a younger model after a certain age.

[–] HowManyNimons 4 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Is this a list of actors, gender specific, or actors and actresses, gender neutral?

[–] LowtierComputer 3 points 3 months ago

Probably yes

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Must be only actors I guess, Julia Louis-Dreyfus got billions from his father when he passed away.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Might be earnings from acting and not just overall weath.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Actor is gender neutral. Actress is feminine. Actsman is masculine. This is the new language, learn it and use it.

[–] HowManyNimons 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I've never heard Actsman before but I'll look into it with a view to using it when appropriate, as it would have been in my previous post. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

I don't know whether or not the creator of the graphic is using actor as a gender neutral term.

Edit: googling "actsman" "actor" gives me nothing. Either it's very new or I've just whooshed.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's like how huntsman is the masculine term for hunter.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Would miners be minemen or minermen?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

There's no such thing as a miness, but if there were, the male equivalent would be minesman

[–] norimee 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If you take the gender pay gap that is also very prevalent in Hollywood I'd say "both".

You would have to extent the list way further down to find the first actress.

[–] HowManyNimons 1 points 3 months ago

This is what I suspect.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

A bit much concentration ...

[–] [email protected] -4 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Of course, it says actors, there are actresses that are worth more than $1 billion

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Yes, but according to this random source (haven't checked the credibility of the source), they've all become wealthy by being born into a rich family or marying a rich man.

[–] norimee 2 points 3 months ago
[–] [email protected] -4 points 3 months ago

Oh, gendered "actor". Right.
