Film stars earn the big bucks - VIP salaries in the UK
The 95th Academy Awards will be held on 12 March 2023, in Los Angeles, as it happens every year. Several of Hollywood's most renowned and adored actors and celebrities will attend the Oscars. In the middle of all the excitement, it's worth looking at the wages of some of the most well-known celebrities and personalities.
As an example, Cate Blanchett, nominated for Best Actress for her role in the film Tár , earns an annual income of £6, 572, 019.00 and a daily salary of £25,277.00. However, in the United Kingdom, the minimum wage for people aged 23 and over is £9.50 per hour. The average percentage difference between these appears to be 196.42%. Similarly, British actress Emma Watson, star of the Harry Potter films, earns £2,000,000 per year and £7692.31 per day. A worker at a development rate, that is, a worker aged 18 to 20 years, on the other hand, may expect to earn a minimum wage of £6.83 per hour. The average percentage difference here is about 191.65%.
Therefore, in order to earn in a week what Cate Blanchett may earn on an hourly basis, an employee working on the minimum wage would have to work approximately 111 hours per week. Similarly, a young worker at the developing rate who may most likely be working alongside their university studies would have to work for approximately 50 hours per week to earn what actor Emma Watson may earn on an hourly basis.
