What motivates someone to keep working after making this much

what motivates someone to keep working after making this much

Caring

This is why OP will never be wealthy

Because not working is boring. Wtf do you guys around here even do that the idea of not doing shit all day sounds so appealing?

You get addicted to the high-life.

Not being a lazy shit

Imagine having that much money and knowing that you don't NEED to be working by you work anyway. You'd feel like a God amongst peasents

Being an actor is a hard job, you work around 15 hours a day, 6 days a week.

If I was that rich, I would find an easier job.

why stop doing something you're good at, especially when the whole world gets to see it?

Earning another few millions on a job you like is probably very enjoyable.

Better than sitting on your ass for months doing nothing

>implying acting at his level isn't an all-inclusive vacation

5 Million LA House
5 Million NYC Condo
10 Million Barbados Beach House

Have to pay taxes and utilites annually
Have 3 - 5 cars that you have to pay taxes on
Have a drug and party fueled lifestyle

30 Million isn't much

Most of them dont act all year though

Fame. Vast majority of actors are smug assholes that crave validation from attention. If you take a lot of time off as an actor most of the time the public and media have moved on to someone else.

how much do you need to realistically retire?

Depends on how you plan to live, you dont need that many millions to live a simple life without much luxury

This. You ever met a rich kid who's so desperate for structure and purpose they take some pissy shitty part time job?
That's why housewives join bookclubs and stuff once the kids become independent.

And...

Yeah, you work like that for a few months, at the most. Then you make a shitload of bank.

Plus, he probably loves his work

The prospect of making more, obviously.

It's not like he goes to the bank and sees $30,000,000.00 in an account all ready to be spent.

Net worth is comprised of alot more than cash on hand.

Also atheletes make a ton more and srill go broke anyways, so yeah. He's gotta keep working, especially if he is trying to sustain a certain quality of life.

Are actors being paid fuck all compared to 10 years ago? I'm sure there used to be tonnes of actors who would get $10 million plus just for turning up

We'll never know because we'll never reach that level of wealth, even the anons who post itt combined.

yes 20 million a picture guys are getting rarer. weird to think that brad pitt was making fassbenders net worth for 1 movie 15 years ago

that's because jocks are fucking dumb, they don't deserve the money and they can't manage their finances. once their careers are over they become literal nobodys and blow their brains out

Imagine how shit it feels to have to pay literally millions in tax.

I can shitpost everyday

Because rich persons love work.
Why do you think they are rich?

Easy there NEETo
Well this is if they're smart.
I think what alot of the people ITT don't understand is when you're not born into wealth it's easy to lose it because you don't understand the tax-code. Don't have a sense for a good investment.

Worst still is the numbers are immaterial.
$30 million. Sounds virtually infinite. Even though you know logically that it can be exhausted, a lot of people probably think they can just keep spending and spending.

Luck. Right place at right time. Mentored by someone who wanted the glory of mentoring someone to the top. Connections. Sexual favours.
The list goes on, and they aren't all down to hard work.

because once you stop being a wagecuck slave, there are higher things to strive for than just money

What a weak attitude, he loves his craft and at the end of the day it's very likely that he enjoys making more money.

Enjoys his profession
More money

I think you're right. This is why people like Keanu Reeves stand out for not wanting to be in the spotlight all the time.

Plus half of the time you are on set you aren't actually working, you can probably have a few drinks if you want and the work is pretty easy, tedious at most sometimes when you have to do several takes.
I don't know what easier job he expects a guy like Michael Fassbender to take.

>and they aren't all down to hard work.

But they do.
People don't knock at your door, and ask you if you want to become rich.
You have to work for it.

Rare example of people who get rich over night, doesn't count.

he probably keeps a flat in Ireland and maybe even Germany

Actors used to sell movies a lot better back then. You needed them more. Now brands sell movies. Of course some actors get a cut of the gross to make up for their contract being lower too.

I spend maybe 10k a year so 1m would have me living comfortable for the rest of my life

Actors rarely get percentages now which is where 90s/00s actors made their money

I think he likes acting, or at least enjoys the spectacle of movie making. It would explain why he's in fantastical shit like X-Men and Assassins Creed when he could be in absolutely anything else.

Nah. Otherwise there be better actors in Hollywood films and TV.

That is unless... they are good but the directors are just hacks who can't get a good performance out of them. And it's really an endurance race to know you're part of a terrible finished product and still rock up at 6am for makeup?

Step 1: Look like Michael Fassbender
Step 2: Practice theatre
There are thousands of hardworking actors that are just as good as Hollywood stars, they just don't look good enough or they weren't picked for the big role at that time.
Once you are in a hit, people recognize you and you continue to get roles.

He doesn't evaluate his wealth compared to NEETs and plebs, but to his millionaire peers. Once you get rich, you're on a whole nother level of needs and desires. He simply doesn't feel comfortable anymore earning less than that, just like the avereage person doesn't want to live with $10.000 a year.

its probably a lot of fun making capeshit for actors. They get to ham it up and wear crazy costumes. The results might suck, but if they're getting paid I don't think the actors care.

Big Hemsworth went from a bit part at the beginning of Star Trek reboot to the lead in Thor.

Chris Pratt was a beach bum who married Anna Faris.

Low testosterone count in your bloodstream makes you a boring, slow droll.

>30 million
>rich
lol

Acting's an easy job. I'd shit my pants all day if someone paid me for it, it's nice and simple.

Not with inflation

Nice one Wall Street, you really bamboozled me

Pratt started out by banging a shitty director who ate at the restaurant he worked at. He then had small roles until he was on Parks and Recreation and the women that watch the show loved him so he became a full time cast member.
Hemsworth was the perfect look for Thor.

Again they might be really hard workers but they are still lucky and many other actors work hard and continue to get shit roles.

oscar isaac is the same and age and broke as shit

Because they're bored. Like 90% of all people spend like 60% of their time working to set themselves up when they're old.

If you don't need to do that you just keep working for something to do. Life is boring even for the rich.

They probably love their job. I mean, it's fun as fuck, even without the money.


>falling for the le hardwork makes you rich meme

The only very rich people I know are people who do fuck all most of the time and just got lucky or had the right connections in the right moment (which is still being lucky). Those who preach hard work are usually quite well off financially, but still on the pleb tier. They are also usually overworked and depressed.

Love of acting
Cash poor asset rich
Boredom

not being an average non-contributing pleb
just kys now to save the world the trouble

>Being an actor is a hard job
You know who has an even harder job? Anyone else on set, cause they can't just do a job for a month then fuck off to their mansion, they NEED to work all year.

This.
When you have this much money all you think about is how fast you're spending it between taxes and all the other shit that comes with being rich. Including all the people you pay to take care of your finances.

>cause they can't just do a job for a month then fuck off to their mansion

Most actors aren't a-listers retard, they have to travel and work a lot too
