However, he also has a massive fan following worldwide. The actor made a million bucks, thanks to this movie franchise.
World’s highest-paid actor
We are talking about Keanu Reeves. After the massive success of The Matrix in the late 90s, many Hollywood producers wanted to work with him. Even the sequels Reloaded and Revolutions worked well, for which he charged $33 million. Then he charged more with share-in profits and residual income of the science fiction franchise.
Well, overall, the next two movies made a massive collection of $1.2 billion at the box office. Even on OTT and TV, it has witnessed huge success. Thanks to this big feat, Keanu Reeves earned a humongous $156 million from a single movie production. Thus, making him the world’s highest-ever paid actor.
