He wasn't a blockbuster actor before BP so he wasn't making a ton of money. Roles in smaller films like 5 Bloods and Ma Rainey aren't going to give you a big pay day. He was nominated for an Oscar and was ascending but he died right before he was about to really get big offers and endorsements.

And as stated above he was likely paying huge amounts for treatment.

You really gonna name 2 movies that came out after his death to make your point, out of all things? Lol. What about the 10 other movies he was in? He starred in several movies as historical figures and was part of 3 billion dollar Marvel films. Now after hearing of his contract situation, it does make a little more sense.

Yup that was for Sienna Miller in "21 Bridges." He was a great actor and an even better human being.
Her net worth 20 million too. She should donate the money he gave her to his family. I hate when white actresses complain about pay ceilings when they get paid more than anybody outside of their fathers and husbands.

Obviously his salary was negotiated while he was alive. The point was they were lower budget films that actors don't go into for big paydays:mjtf:

The point is that actors who aren't superstars aren't getting huge paydays so no one should be surprised by the 2.5 million. He was on his way to the 7 figure a movie deals.

My point was that he’s had several starring roles. I wasn’t aware of the ins and outs of Hollywood movie contracts. Go a quick search on social media. Tons and tons of people are surprised..

Still so shocked that he had no will and so little money.

Only 5% of black families worth over $300,000.

2 cameos. And 1 movie where Disney gives out starter contracts for the first film.

Chadwick always been a lowkey working actor...oh yea, and bills and agent fees. Plus he was fighting cancer for God only know how long. SAG may not have covered it.

Than you don't have much of a point.

Your can star in 10 movies and not get close to what Tom Cruise makes for 1.
