Forum Post: Leonardo DiCaprio Is At Fault For The Poor Economy!

TAKE THE OCCUPATION TO HOLLYWOOD

Leonardo DiCaprio is a ripoff actor! His salary is bankrupting our country to live is greedy rich life style.

Have you ever gone to the movies and said these tickets are too expensive? or question why you have to pay more for products that endorse films with Leonardo DiCaprio? Have you ever questioned the movie and the people behind the movie what they make in earnings?

Well guess what; Leonardo DiCaprio gets $20 to $40 million per movie, that’s per film salary. The average time for an actor to film as an actor is about 40 days work, if you average 30 days work at $20 million that’s about $20,000.00 to $30,000.00 dollars an hour depending on the days of the film is laid out in. All 5 star hotel expenses, traveling first class and all, all paid for besides the actors salary.

Leonardo DiCaprio earnings

Annual: USD 77,000,000.00 +

Monthly: USD 6,416,666.00

Weekly: USD 1,540,000.00

Daily: USD 308,000.00

Leonardo DiCaprio is getting Per film average from $20 to $40 million plus 10% to 20% gross earnings (depending on contract) as well and also lifetime royalties. That means he is getting paid for movies he starred in 15 years ago and still getting a paycheck for doing nothing. Many people who have worked on the set with him making low wages back then are getting absolutely no royalities or benefits even 15 years or so year later. Leonardo DiCaprio is just ranking in the bank checks living life large and expects royal treatment, regardless if the average US salary is $31,000 a year, think Leonardo DiCaprio cares, oh course not. He wants his $31,000. an hour, talk about greedy, this actor has no respect on the US economy in recession and shows no respect for sturggling families trying to get buy, he is flying high in his private jet, traveling, vacation more than working, you name it, easy life for Leonardo DiCaprio.

Leonardo DiCaprio driving a brand new 2011 $320,000.00 Ferrari down the street and mega million dollar homes to go to, what about those people working for $8.00 an hour? You think Leonardo DiCaprio thinks about how hard people work and how they have to earn a living? What if we took Leonardo DiCaprio and said Leonardo, we have a movie and we need an actor for it. We have a limited budget. We can only pay you $10.00 an hour and if that isn’t enough $100.00 an hour maybe. What do you think Leonardo DiCaprio would say? Take a guess. Just imagine it? $20 million per film salary to work for $10.00 or $100.00 an hour, do you think he would work for it? If not, how many Americans right now would want to make $10.00 an hour in a bad recession economy? If Leonardo DiCaprio said no and you said yes, how does that make you feel and how does it make Leonardo DiCaprio feel. Cheap versing not enough.

If you feel this is wrong and disgusted with Leonardo DiCaprio salary send him a letter to his agent and complain how much is too much. Think they’ll respond? Ah right - never! After all Leonardo DiCaprio is in a Union, these wonderful unions to allow actors like this to make mega millions. Look at the US economy and where the money is going, food stamps, health care to the poor and illegal immigrants, unemployment checks and etc but hey there room to pay Leonardo DiCaprio $75 to $100 million a year though.

Lets see for $33,000.00 an hour for one Leonardo DiCaprio actor would equal the cost of people to pay his salary off: per hour you would get:

$28.00 1178 US soldiers

$250.00 132 doctors

$220.00 150 lawyers

$130.00 253 US Senators

$80.00 412 Congressmen

$35.00 942 auto mechanics

$28.00 1178 pharmacists

$10.00 3300 whole sale store employees

$9.00 3666 department store employees

$8.00 4125 retail clerk employees

$5.00 6600 illegal immigrants in the US

$.25 cents 132,000 Chinese assembly workers

Shack of shame isn’t it. Shame on Leonardo DiCaprio for this incredible ripoff salary costing people millions to live his fortune on greed. The average American makes $31,000.00 a year but Leonardo DiCaprio makes that in 1 hour, that is sick.
