What is Known About Actor Compensation

Here are the confirmed / well-reported figures, plus some estimates and uncertainties:

• Brad Pitt’s Salary: Pitt received US$30 million for starring in F1. Wikipedia+2IMDb+2

• That is the highest salary of his career to date. IMDb+1

Estimates / Speculation for Other Cast Members

• There is less public info on what the supporting cast (Damson Idris, Javier Bardem, etc.) were paid. I found an article conjecturing plausible ranges (but not confirmed) based on industry norms, actor profile, and the film’s overall deal size. Flickonclick

• For example, that speculative breakdown suggests that big-name supporting actors like Javier Bardem might have been paid in the US$3-5 million range, and other cast members less, depending on their role. But again, this is speculative. Flickonclick

Why It’s Hard to Know Everything

• Movie contracts for supporting cast are often private; only lead actors or those with producer roles typically have their pay widely reported.

• Also, compensation often includes more than just base salary: there can be backend participation (a share of profits), bonuses, residuals, etc. Public reporting rarely has all those details.

• Some reports conflate budget, marketing spend, sponsorship revenue, etc., making it harder to isolate exactly what each actor earned vs. what the studio spent.

Summary
