It is no secret that famous Hollywood stars earn massive salaries from their jobs. Many factors affect their salaries like the number of scenes, number of words, or their popularity. Actors Johnny Depp and Keanu Reeves are certainly on top of that list, but Depp once earned a massive amount for his work inAlice in Wonderland, putting him ahead of Keanu Reeves.
Both the actors are unique in their own ways and they manage to break a few records with their flicks, but Reeves will have a hard time breaking Depp’s record salary of $44 million for his work in Tim Burton’sAlice in Wonderland.
Keanu Reeves got $15 million for his work inJohn Wick: Chapter 4
ActorKeanu Reeveshas earned massive salaries in the past. FromThe MatrixtoJohn Wick, he has worked in various franchises and has earned a fair share from it. As perYahoo, for his work in the latestJohn Wickmovie,John Wick: Chapter 4, Reeves got $15 million for a total of 380 words. It’s funny because his character has killed more people in all the John Wick movies than his words inJohn Wick: Chapter 4.
Initially, Reeves had more dialogue, but director Chad Stahelski cut it short because John Wick is “mysterious, and the mystery lets the audience fill in the gaps.” For every word, Reeves got roughly $39,000, yet he couldn’t beatJohnny Depp.
