Foreign movie stars earn much more than Russian ones, and this is not a discovery. One of the most striking examples is Sharon Stone, whose royalties are measured in 7-digit figures. So how much and how does Sharon Stone make?
The Hollywood actress's royalties have grown exponentially since the release of Basic Instinct. Even a minute role in a commercial brought her tens of millions of dollars, and what can we say about full-length films! And Sharon managed to achieve such demand only through her own efforts.
Sharon Stone - origins and biography
Sharon was born in Midville, Pennsylvania, USA in March 1958. After graduating from school with honors, the girl entered the university, at the Faculty of Journalism, in parallel she began her modeling career. She entered this segment of the business with an impressive "baggage" - she had the experience of participating and winning at city-level beauty contests.
In addition, Sharon showed excellent results in her studies. Both the exact sciences and the humanities were equally easy for her. The level of her intelligence was compared to the level of Albert Einstein himself.
While studying at the institute, Stone entered into long-term contracts with modeling agencies from Milan and Paris. But the modeling career seemed to her somewhat limited and not as profitable as she would like. Sharon decided to try her hand at cinema, and again she was lucky.
Sharon Stone began filming 5 years after graduating from high school. Debut roles were insignificant, often episodic, but the girl was persistent, she stubbornly went forward. A breakthrough for her was a supporting role in the movie Total Recall, followed by an invitation to star in Basic Instinct.
Sharon Stone's royalties for film roles
Sharon was able to dictate her terms of payment for work in the cinema only after the release of Basic Instinct. For the role in the scandalous picture, the actress was paid $ 750,000, and her subsequent works were already worth more than a million.
The next picture "Sliver" brought Sharon Stone already 2.5 million dollars. But her heroine was no longer as memorable and vivid as the beautiful villainous Catherine from the previous film.
In 1995, Hollywood directors were already paying $ 6 million or more for Stone's consent to appear in the film. The actress has become one of the highest paid women in Hollywood. Advertising alone could bring her nearly $ 20 million. That's how much she was paid by representatives of a fashion company. Of course, the company was with a loud and well-known name, but it was Sharon Stone who paid the largest fee in the entire history of their existence.
Sharon Stone's income from producing
In addition to acting, Sharon is also involved in producing. Little is known about this side of her career to the public and fans, but rumors appeared in the American media that the actress was planning to completely switch to this direction.
As a producer, Sharon Stone has already shot two films - "The Mule" in 2012 and "Something for a Birthday" in 2017. The first picture is positioned as a crime drama. Sharon not only executive produced her, but also starred as an ambitious journalist.
And in her second production job, in the movie "Something for Birthday", Sharon Stone played one of the main roles. The picture belongs to the genre of "tragicomedy" and, according to critics, is more successful than "Mule".
How much money Sharon Stone brought in projects, where she acted not only as an actress, but also as a producer, is unknown. The fact remains that they did not become cash registers, they only recouped the costs to some extent.
Sharon Stone in the modeling business
The career of a model in her youth did not captivate the actress, but even now, at a rather old age, she sometimes takes part in photo shoots, presents the latest in world fashion, and periodically becomes the "face" of perfume or cosmetic brands.
The desire of this woman to be the first amazed her loved ones, even when she was very young. In order to be noticed by representatives of the modeling business, Sharon Stone starred naked when she was only 20 years old. Later, at the age of 57, she repeated her "feat", and the results were no worse.
Sharon Stone's photo shoot fees are as exorbitant as her acting services. Diva does not lower the established bar, does not agree to cooperation on the terms of a partner, immediately putting forward his requirements for payment. Critics point out that Sharon has not only a creative, but a commercial streak, and it is expressed as vividly as her acting talent.
Sharon Stone Real Estate and Accounts
This actress does not like to boast about the level of her well-being. How much money she has in her accounts, how many apartments and country houses she has - such information is not available to the public and journalists. The only information leaked to the media about Sharon Stone's purchase of a mansion in Los Angeles, in which she never began to live.
It is known that in the end the actress sold the property, and much cheaper than she bought it. Before the sale, she repeatedly reduced the cost of the house and the land, then she was ready to rent it out for a relatively small rent. Why Sharon Stone did not have a "relationship" with the mansion, she did not say. But the media had plenty of reasons for gossip and gossip against the background of manipulations with the actress's real estate.
