DiCaprio earns twice as much as Vin Diesel! How much money did the actress get for the flower moon killers?

Released in theaters on October 18, Killers of the Flower Moon, which has an uncanny resemblance to Black Panther, attracted over a million viewers in France, a real tour de force for a 3h26 film! Martin Scorsese’s film starring Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio is a monumental mural set in 1920s Oklahoma.

To implement the vision of David Grann’s book, on which the feature film is based, the director enjoyed a significant envelope thanks to the $ 200 million at the instigation of Apple Films.

If a large part of the budget was devoted to the construction of historical reconstruction shots, a good part of the green money would be distributed to its main actor: Leonardo DiCaprio. According to media reports Puck NewsThe 49-year-old actor would receive an amazing salary of 40 million dollars, or 1/5 of the total budget of the film!

A record amount!

By comparison, DiCaprio made $25 million for The Wolf of Wall Street or $20 million for The Departed. It would be her biggest salary since she worked with Martin Scorsese. Note that Vin Diesel received $20 million for Fast X and that Jason Statham received $25 million for his performance in Expendables 4.

According to ScreenRant, that stratospheric number can be explained by a deal with Apple TV+ to stream Killers of the Flower Moon , which almost never made it to theaters. DiCaprio, also the production’s executive producer, therefore negotiated his salary to make up for the shortfall on the screen.

We remind you that the story takes place at the beginning of the 20th century. Oil brought wealth to the Osages, who overnight became one of the richest in the world. The wealth of these Native Americans immediately attracted the lust of unscrupulous white men, who intrigued, extorted, and stole as much of the Osage money as they could before resorting to murder.
