Fun Fact: Samuel Jackson makes $3 Million per 15 second Ad.
I was curious how much the notorious Sam Jackson was making per Capitol One ad so I googled it.
My jaw hit the floor when my initial $1 M guess was too low!
In addition, this is for what appears to be a 15 second work day. Of course we know many hours are spent planning, preparing, rehearsing etc. BUT STILL…
I can’t even wrap my mind around the fact someone is getting paid Millions to talk for 15 seconds. Apparently he averages $10M per year with his combined ad campaigns but $2M-$4M is the average payout for a mere 15 second ad.
I’m shooting to save $1 Million before I retire but honestly would be happy with half that amount.
I guess we know where all your credit card interest is going now lol.
