Johnny Depp is walking away with quite the treasure with his fourth installment of Pirates of the Caribbean.



Depp will be getting $55.8 million dollars for the film, beating out the current highest paid actor, which was Tom Hanks for his sequel of the Da Vinci Code.

In addition, this is the amount Depp will be getting paid up front!



Respond: Do you think Depp is getting paid too much?

Might I add that if all of the money from everyone's salary in the world was gathered and then evenly distributed to every person in the world, we would probably all be well off and no one would be starving unless they deliberately waste their money.

It's not just Depp. Every big name actor and actress in Hollywood gets paid way too much. Especially when you consider that they generally don't have to pay for the expensive clothes that they wear on the red carpet. I know that they pay a bunch of other people that they've hired and they have a certain "status" to uphold, but again it shouldn't be like that. It is absolutely ridiculous that people like Johnny Depp will get paid FIFTY FIVE MILLION for making ONE movie while thousands of people starve every day.

I'm so tired of Pirates haha. They won't go away. Anyway, I think that's a lot of money, especially for right now. I mean, does anyone realize just how much money that is? Just think about it, try to wrap your mind around it, and let reality hit you square between the eyes. It's A LOT and last time I checked, he didn't need that much from one movie. Eh, that's just me. I don't know if I'd be able to even accept that much without feeling extremely guilty. I understand he's got to get paid but seriously.

That is a sick amount of money to make a movie. Actors should be paid well, after all they're working... but how hard are they really working? If actors give up a certain amount of money, will the price of the movie go down? Will I not have to pay as much to see the movie? No wonder people pirate.. pirates? Mmm thank god for more pirates! I hated how the last one ended.

i love the movies and johnny depp but dont people realize the world is in a huge financial crisis? thats like giving AIG 85 billion only for them to spend $440,000 in spa treatments. i wish money in this world was given a little more reasonably.

if the studio execs are willing to pay that much for him to be in another pirates film, then why is it too much?
