George Clooney: Hollywood money printing machine refused $ 35 million contract, gave 14 close friends $ 1 million

George Clooney is a Hollywood actor, director, and producer. The public thinks that the woman who gets married to him is extremely lucky.

However, everything turned upside down when he got into the car with female lawyer Amal Alamuddin. At this time, George Clooney is said to be a "big deal" man when he has a beautiful and intelligent wife.

In 2014, the couple held a wedding worth $ 5 million, officially returning to the same house after nearly a year of dating. From here, they became the richest, most powerful and admirable couple in Hollywood.

Recently George Clooney - Amal Alamuddin celebrated their 8th wedding anniversary. Their love is still as passionate as the first day.

"People used to say our love story wouldn't last. But everything about my wife is amazing. I believe people realize that when they see her, hear her talk. She doesn't. there are no downsides," George complimented his wife on ET.

During the promotion of Ticket to Paradise on October 21, he reminisced about 25 minutes of kneeling to propose to a British lawyer. Although the atmosphere at the time was not as romantic as he thought, George felt extremely lucky and happy to be married to such a talented, beautiful woman like Amal.

And according to the New York Post, their combination has created an empire of more than half a billion dollars.

George - Amal owns a net worth of more than $550 million (George alone holds $500 million), according to Celebrity Net Worth statistics.

The artist received a salary of $500,000 per film in 1993, a huge number at that time. His cadets jumped exponentially year by year, with films he pocketed more than tens of millions of dollars.

It is estimated that George pocketed $ 10 million for the role of Batman, $ 15 million for Ocean's Thirteen and brought in $ 20 million for Ocean's Eleven. On average, each film, the actor earns about 10-20 million USD.

Ticket to Paradise - the upcoming romantic comedy work of Clooney and Julia Roberts - is expected to bring the actor more than that number.

Not to mention, George is also the face of many leading Hollywood brands. Some car and watch brands accept millions of dollars for the famous actor to appear in the advertising campaign. In particular, a coffee brand revealed that the paycheck invited George as a representative for up to 40 million USD.

Dubbed the "money printing machine" of Hollywood, George Clooney is ready to turn down contracts, no matter how lucrative. Talking to The Guardian, he said he once said no to the opportunity to earn $ 35 million.

"I was offered $35 million for a day of filming a promotional video. When I asked my wife, she said there were many problems with the way the company operated, so I decided to decline," George said.

The actor trusts Amal absolutely because his wife is a famous lawyer in the US. George has had a durable career, has enough money and fame, so he doesn't want to risk his reputation.

According to the South China Morning Post, more interesting information about George is that nine years ago, he generously gave 14 close friends a large amount of money as a thank you for supporting him in difficult times.

Recalling that incident, George said he accompanied his assistant and two bodyguards to the bank's cash delivery appointment, including 14 suitcases, each containing $ 1 million in cash. Then he invited his friends home under the name "dinner party".

All friends were surprised and happy at George's heart. Rande Gerber, George's close friend and business partner, said: "I was completely surprised."

In an interview on GQ, George shared: "What I have today is thanks to their help for the past 35 years. Sometimes when I don't have a dime in my pocket, I have to sleep at their house. poor people, it was they who gave me money to cover my life."

At that time, in his circle of friends, he was the only single person even though he was 52 years old. His friends were all older than George and married. And the reason he has a large amount of money to give to his friends is because of his excellent performance in Gravity.
