Brad Pitt’s Highest Movie Salary is Nothing Compared to Tom Cruise’s Highest
Brad Pitt has been in some of the most iconic films in the industry including Se7en, Fight Club, Ocean’s Eleven, Thelma and Louise, Inglorious Bastards, and many more. He has earned a significant amount of income from each of these films. His highest paycheck was for Ocean’s Eleven, for which he earned $30 million. (according to Celebrity Net Worth)
This is nothing compared to what Cruise’s highest salary is, which is on a whole another level altogether. According to Variety, he earned a whopping $100 million from Top Gun: Maverick. This is a rare case in the industry and no one has been paid this much for a film.
Cruise earned the same amount for his films Mission Impossible 2, and War of the Worlds. (according to Celebrity Net Worth). It is understandable why Cruise is paid such a shockingly high paycheck for these films. He is a rare actor who puts his life on the line to put together a truly cinematic and thrilling experience for audiences.
He performs his own dangerous stunts which Pitt or anyone from the industry wouldn’t dare to do. Thus he deserves to be paid the big bucks for the incomparable amount of hard work and dedication that he puts towards his films.

“After I met Tom Cruise, right after finishing the first Dune, he sent me the most wonderfully inspiring email. The email contained all the experts he might need for stunt training, from a motorcycle coach to a helicopter coach. He basically said, in Old Hollywood, you would be getting dance training and fight training, and nobody is going to hold you to that standard today. So it’s up to you. The email was really like a war cry.”
Cruise sees the potential in young Chalamet and wants him to get better and become the best version of himself. Cruise’s inspiring efforts to boost the young generation is an admirable stance on his part. Cruise recently starred in Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1.
