The sons in Empire only make 20k an episode? That's CW money! Ian Somerhalder makes $40,000 for Vampire Diaries.

20G per episode is still a lot of money breh. Unless he decides to move up in the entertainment industry, for now he still making good money without the fukk shyt.

It depends.. But if u fugure they have to pay their agents, taxes for both states.the one they live in and work at, it's well under 10 k a episode they getting

I think this is reaching . All the top payouts are either well known actors/actresses or very popular shows.

Being that Hollywood is one of the most racist American institutions, it's no surprise Black actors are being fed scraps. How is the main talent on Empire being paid 10% of what the average white actor is being paid. And you nikkas trying to justify that?:scust:

I think their agents realize the studios won't budge when dealing with black talent. And they just accept whatever BS contract they can get.

Remember that European studio exec of Sony didn't want Denzel in some movie because he said blacks can't draw an audience overseas.
Maybe because overseas they are racist as shiitake. :hubie:

I think he is understating how well black talent can sell but at the same time it's not like black people aren't negatively stereotyped internationally either.

Half a Million PER EPISODE... for Kevin Spacey???? :wtf: How much money does Netflix has????

Real shyt I never knew Netflix had paper like that
Netflix putting out more paper to produce their shows than nbc, fox, abc, etc. Those networks get funded with a budget and more paper from ads. I guess Netflix getting their $8+ directly from people equals more. Netflix really came up if you think bout it. Took out blockbuster, added streaming, make original shows and paying Hollywood stars to make exclusive movies or stand up specials.
