Have you ever envied the luxurious life of celebrities and wondered how much do they make? Daniel Craig has recently grabbed the top spot in the highest-paid actor's chart. He was paid a whopping $100 million to star in the “Knive Out” sequel by Netflix and became the highest-paid actor this year.

However, this hasn't been the case back in the 90s’. When Jim Carrey was offered $20 million for a movie, it was a big deal to receive $20million. The same remuneration is considered the least one could get in the present scenario. Salaries of celebrities have skyrocketed since the '90s.

With the digital revolution and emergence of streaming platforms, the entertainment industry has gained so much prominence and validation that can be clearly visible in the massive increase of the pay scale of celebrities. Streaming giants like Netflix and Amazon are ready to offer enormous up-front compensation.
