Brad Pitt’s pay for The Adventures of Cliff Booth has been revealed, and it’s enough to make Hollywood insiders take notice. According to Puck, Pitt will receive a $40 million paycheck to star and produce the Netflix project, marking one of the most lucrative deals of his career.
Pitt isn’t alone in commanding a fortune on The Adventures of Cliff Booth. David Fincher is reportedly set to earn $20 million as director, while Quentin Tarantino, who wrote the script, is making over $20 million for a one-picture license and retains ownership of his work. Collectively, the top-tier salaries contribute to a reported $200 million budget.
Pitt reprises Cliff Booth, the Oscar-winning character from 2019’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. The movie fast-forwards to the 1970s and explores Booth’s life after his stuntman days. Leonardo DiCaprio will not reprise his role as Rick Dalton, reportedly turning down a $3 million cameo. Other cast members include Elizabeth Debicki, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Carla Gugino, Timothy Olyphant, JB Tadena, Corey Fogelmanis, Karren Karagulian, and Scott Caan.
From Fight Club to Cliff Booth, Brad Pitt’s Highest-Paid Roles
Brad Pitt reportedly earns $20 million+ per movie, sometimes with backend points. Reports suggest Pitt nets at least $30 million per year from his acting and producing efforts (per Parade). In F1, Pitt’s salary was reportedly $30 million, reflecting his dual role as an actor and producer in the film about a retired driver mentoring a young talent.
In 2022, Forbes noted that Pitt netted an estimated $30 million across three films: Bullet Train, Babylon, and The Lost City. Variety specifically reported that Pitt earned $20 million for Bullet Train on its own, suggesting the remaining $10 million spread across the other two projects, which featured smaller parts for Pitt. Earlier in his career, Pitt’s pay scale was already impressive.
In the late 1990s, he reportedly made $17.5 million for Troy, where he gained significant muscle for the role (via CNW). Even smaller or cameo appearances have memorable stories; his quick turn in Deadpool 2 was done for the SAG-AFTRA minimum rate of around $933 per day (per IndieWire). Pitt also accepted pay cuts for the chance to work with filmmakers he respected.
For Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Pitt took $10 million (per Variety), a figure similarly reported for his role in Inglourious Basterds. His decision to appear in Ocean’s Eleven came with a $10 million salary plus backend points, which helped elevate his total haul to around $30 million (per CNW). Not every headline grabber hits reality perfectly. Rumors about Pitt and Clooney’s salaries on Wolfs were massive, but Clooney himself made it clear the numbers were “millions and millions and millions” less than reported (via THR).
