According to a new report by Variety, the 36-year-old comedian renegotiated her Netflix special salary once she learned what Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle were paid for their respective stand-up specials.
While the two were paid $20 million for their routines, Variety claims Schumer had been paid $11 million for her “The Leather Special” taping. Schumer was reportedly able to raise her payment significantly after going back to the streaming channel and asking for more.
Schumer’s request for more equal pay comes in the wake of several other female celebrities demanding more money after learning their male counterparts were being paid higher wages.
As stupid as this kind of garbage is I'm actually glad they got kiked out of more money seeing as she went back to them for money AFTER they already paid her. Holy fuck what a bunch of idiots.
It would be one thing to demand a raise while negotiating paymeny for the special, but Netflix are full of cucks if she fucking made the special, got paid for it, and then she demanded more AND SHE ACTUALLY GOT IT
Christopher Ross
Bet Netflix regretted that lel
Isaiah Richardson
This is wrong on many different levels.
She doesn't have nearly as much clout as Chappelle and Chris Rock, and her leather special was absolute garbage.
Gabriel Sanchez
>Holy fuck what a bunch of idiots.
They literally just spent billions making new shows and movies, throwing an extra 9 mill to nib any bad publicity in the bud is the right business move.
Caleb Rodriguez
pff haha netflix took the bait like a bunch of fucking retards
Jayden Price
WOOOW SEXIST MUCH??? LITTLE DICK VIRGIN HAHAHA
Jack Ross
>she went back to them for money AFTER they already paid her
>not making the extra money part of her pay for her next special >never have to pay her
Thomas White
those feet look great desu
Mason Hughes
imagine getting paid $11 million, enough money to last a few lifetimes, to get up on stage for an hour and talk about your fat disgusting vagina and make no one laugh
Daniel Adams
What a terrible country where the niece of a rich, corrupt, white senator is able to be the victim.
Owen Clark
You paid for this if you subscribe to Netflix, by the way.
Carson Sanchez
>let's pay 9 million to avoid having this leak to the public >we're members of the public and we know about it
bad investment on their part then
Ian Brooks
>Fat blonde white woman getting mad that black men are worth more than her
How does she scale in the Oppression Olympics? Is she in the right here?
Benjamin Stewart
>$11 million to stand on stage and read out some jokes you memorised >shits her pants and cries that IT'S NOT FAIRRRR like a literal infant because _eleven million dollars for one performance_ isn't enough >if you don't support her you're a monster
Levi Peterson
Imagine all of that, and then complaining about it.
Wyatt Myers
I don't get it. Don't you faggots always say women should just go ahead and demand the same money? Then she's a cunt for doing it?
Jordan Mitchell
>subscribing to Netflix
indefensible
Daniel Hernandez
She's a "literally who" compared to those guys. Regardless of gender, that's why she got paid less.
Nicholas Mitchell
I would do anything to rape her 75 percent of the way.
I want to facial abuse her but not just her face. I want to twist her nips raw as I rabbit pound her stinky, slimy pussy. I want to forcibly deepthroat her for so long that she wonders if her newly formed forgetfulness is from a lack of oxygen during our night together. I want to start out just a little rough. She'll be a little rough back, giggling until eventually the giggling stops as she realizes the severity of her situation. I want to push cum into her eye.
But most of all I want her to feel the shame and degradation of knowing that she loved it and that she deserves it.
Colton James
Big difference between some nobody on a sub 100k salary asking for a better wage and some untalented multimillionaire asking for more money AFTER getting paid.
Jordan Ward
To be fair, she's the current it comedian while Chappell and Rock's careers have cooled off in recent years so it would make sense to demand equal pay. And no actual talent and humor don't count for how people get paid in entertainment
Matthew Thompson
Did chapelle get 20m for both episodes? Because if so she was actually getting paid more
Caleb Ward
How is it her fault they agreed to pay more?
John Martin
>anything coming from msm or Hollywood right now
Angel Myers
>Don't you faggots always say women should just go ahead and demand the same money? Prove that I've ever said that
Grayson Moore
>Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle are legends, fuck this cunt
>Amy Schumer complaining about not getting paid as much as Dave Chapelle and Chris Rock That's the first good joke she's ever made.
Parker Turner
Does she even have the same pull and numbers?
Netflix is literally the last place for that bluff, they know every tiny thing
Angel Richardson
>enough money to last a few lifetimes
Could $11 million really last you a lifetime nowadays?
Nicholas Miller
>hey guys let's let actresses know that they can force us to pay them as much as our most lucrative, in demand, male content producers by bitching about sexism yes brilliant
Kevin Morales
good for her and good for netflix if they say "you literally dont pull in as many people as chappelle, the biggest comedy central dvd seller ever"
Gabriel Moore
I guess Jimmy Carr, Jim Jeffries, and all the other comedians demand equal pay as the top comedians. FFS Schumer isn't anywhere near the same name recognition as Chappelle.
Hudson Kelly
>Netflix is literally the last place for that bluff, they know every tiny thing It's not all about numbers, they have to be seen to be doing 'the right thing' Case in point: her bluff worked
Carter Reed
I think most people would think that during normal circumstances, but in the current zeitgeist women don't actually have to be worth the money they demand because everyone's afraid of being labelled as sexist/misogynist. I haven't met a single person, man or woman, who actually enjoys amy schumer.
Levi Cook
Fault? I don't see anyone blaming anyone here. Just not liking her for a few reasons in this situation.
1. She's already Rich as fuck 2. She's arguably untalented 3. The special was shit in the first place 4. She doesn't have anywhere NEAR the history of Rock or Chappelle so it's understandable why she was paid less in the first place 5. Sick of gender related issues being applied to multi fucking millionaire celebrities with zilch in common with the common person.
Samuel Howard
Funny. Now anyone no name female comedian or actor can ask for a pay raise in the name of "equality".
Jace Jackson
this is the funniest thing she has ever said
Connor Smith
>I don't see anyone blaming anyone here Yeah, I like to close my eyes too.
Jackson Hernandez
>they have to be seen to be doing 'the right thing' >Case in point: her bluff worked All I got out of this is Netflix thinks they can pay female stars lower than male stars until directly called out on it, since apparently in the end they thought she was worth that higher price.
Nathaniel Cooper
Yes
Ayden White
they caved?
fucking hell
Leo Clark
>I deserve as much as these men, despite not being nearly as big a draw
Isaiah Collins
Explain to me what 'blame' is being apportioned?
Luis Jenkins
>1. She's already Rich as fuck wtf i love socialism now
Jordan James
Absolutely. You could probably live comfortably on 1 million by living within reason and coasting on interest.
Zachary Taylor
Why is netflix so fucking stupid? They could have just released the view count
Isaac Hernandez
Oh please, I'm a staunch capitalist but she is hiding her greed behind clamouring for equality.
Charles Perez
Christ, you just said, "sh-she has enough money". It's literally not her fault Netflix agreed to pay more, faggot.
Daniel Thompson
Wasn't this special so poorly received that they literally changed their rating system to this BS "matching %" because of how badly it was panned?
Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle both at least turned in decent sets.
Colton Price
That was because no one actually understood how the rating system works. Hint: you're not looking at other people's ratings.
Tyler Perry
so no more schumer specials?
win win
Brandon Reed
>current it comedian Tits or gtfo... because no one else finds her shit funny.
Jonathan Barnes
put it in your local jew's bank and live off the interest
Alexander Parker
Holy fuck I hope Amy does porn before she gets too old and loses slampig status
Nathaniel Baker
Me and the waifu pull in around 90k combined. We will surely earn more as we advance in our respective careers, but it would take us 122 years to earn this much at out current wages. Another way to look at it is, 11mil after uncle sugar takes 1/2 ish is 6mil. You could invest that conservatively and make AT LEAST 10 percent ROI after taxes. That's 600k a year. Your average working class household (all incomes) is only 40k. But miss piggy isn't comparing herself to us deplorables, she's looking at the other 1 percenters she hobnob with.
Jacob Kelly
25-30k a year is pretty much bare minimum for a relatively comfortable life
multiply that by around 75 years and you're looking at around 2 million for a life
so you can probably squeeze 4-5-6 lifes out of 11 million depending on how you budget (and if the money is untaxed)
Angel Ortiz
Does anyone think Netflix will have Schumer on again after paying her twice as much and knowing to the fifth decimal place how unpopular her big special was?
Does anyone think that any other channel, studio, or corporation will stick their dick in her knowing that Schumer is going to hold their brand hostage for double the original asking price after the papers are signed?
This is economics, son. Amy knew her time had come, she played her last card - the victim woman card - and cashed in with as much money as possible to last until she can redefine her image somehow and get lucky enough to land some more trashy comedies that get moderately good box office takes.
Everyone here is mad because Chuck's niece's lawyers advised her to take the money and run lest her career fall apart a la Lindsey Lohan. This is clearly a damage control scenario.
Colton Gomez
>in the end they thought she was worth that higher price. more like in the end they figured it was cheaper than lost subs and being a victim of outrage culture.
Tyler Sanders
chappelle and chris rock at least are stars with a good track record for comedy and talent
Mason Howard
you go girl. a white person should be payed as much as a black one. #endracism
Asher Jenkins
This bitch gonna ask for 20,000,001 dollars
Thomas Williams
For everyone but those that blow money for a lavish lifestyle.
Mansion upkeep can be anywhere from a few 100k to 1million+ a year
John Wright
>she's the current it comedian
Colton Gomez
i unironically think that this problem only exists for the wealthy
No one has ever been able to give me an example with a man and a woman who are both doing the same job get paid different amounts under let's say 70k
Matthew Young
this. The subscribers are the true cucks
Nathan Baker
How much money would you take to get a golden shower from Amy?
Easton Martin
Yeah, I reckon Amy Schumer does it for me.
Connor Williams
Did she get an equal number of viewers? Have we now officially moved from "Equal pay for equal work" to "Equal pay no matter what"?
Parker Cruz
If you get into crypto
Colton Barnes
Her career was mostly likely at its peak two/three years ago, and even then she was greatly overshadowed by the likes of CK, Burr, Rogan. I think even after Chapelle went fully off the radar he was still more relevant than Schumer.
Jace Kelly
At the end that's what feminism is about, helping ugly untalented whores to get a free pass
Bentley Howard
you could buy a home in california (one of the better homes) and live comfortably even if you had a family.
hell, 2-3 million would be more than enough to live pretty damn lavishly here as well.
Ayden Lopez
>she did what men have always done; negotiated for a better deal >this is considered empowering
Andrew Nelson
Did "we" ever said that?
You are confusing Sup Forums with that other site you browse.
Anthony Bell
entertainers get paid in audience number potential.
Ayden Robinson
Has anyone in the history of media negotiated for more money even though their art was poorly received in the public, was critically panned and had bad sell and viewership numbers? Is Schumer a first?
Jose Fisher
If you were a staunch capitalist, you wouldn't call anyone greedy for trying to get owed money from an employer. You're a poorly disguised commie shill and you can fuck off back to r/feel_the_bern
Wyatt Hill
Cause they need one.
Justin Green
God I need to see her get slammed something good by a BBC. Her and that slut Lena Dunham.
Justin Martin
>2 fathers negotiate huge payments to give their children and grandchildren homes and educations and a relax lifestyle >single childless barren old maid negotiates huge payment for stupid materialistic bullshit
Barren women are so gross
Christopher Fisher
Altering deals after the fact is a cunt move tho
Xavier Hughes
Do you really think you're going to earn more than $11 million in your lifetime?
Gavin Brooks
She isn't barren. She is capable of conceiving a child, but her body absorbs the fetus to feed her unending need for calories.
Logan Clark
I actually tried watching it and of course there was constant vagina jokes and her complaining about how tight and uncomfortable the leather suit was THEN WHY DID YOU WEAR IT?
Jaxson Parker
You're both fucking retards. Netflix didn't owe her anything.
Nathan Thompson
Her face has been everywhere for the past few years and she's been shilled non-stop by the media. Even though she's awful she's still a popular bankable comedian with a lot of crap out
Noah Nguyen
>implying she's anywhere near as established or well liked as Dave Chappelle or Chris Rock
Samuel Wood
How much money did Snatched make again?
Sebastian Allen
>clout
kys faggot
Jonathan Foster
I mean, she should earn as more as her contemporaries, but she's not on Chappelle and Rock's level. It's like Hopsin demanding Snoop Dogg money. Chappelle's specials was his first specials in over 10 years of absence after selling more DVD's than anyone ever and then fucking off. Women should earn as much as men but there's fucking context too.
Bentley Ward
this senpai, this.
Landon Rodriguez
this reads like something joe rogan would say
Isaac Jenkins
Good. This will only speed up the death of Netflix.
Asher Sanders
I lived on 5 grand last year, never had any income for the whole year.
Brandon Ortiz
$45,852,178 total domestic gross $42 million production budget im sure this'll win over investors.
Noah Richardson
>Chappelle Love chappelle. Although I didn't find his netflix specials all that funny. Netflix should stop spending money like a drunken sailor. They are 20 billion dollars in debt. And truthfully I haven't see any of their shows that were truly good. Burr sucked.
Austin Baker
>Could $11 million really last you a lifetime nowadays? 10 million invested in money market at 5% return is 400 thousand a year. Stock market investments higher around 6%. Diverting 50 grand a year leaves 350 thousand a year adding to your 10 mill. You can't live on a thousand dollars a week? kys
