Earlier, Hollywood stars’ place on the A-list was determined based on the box office earnings of their movies. The same cannot be said today as success is not measure based on the number of views of Netflix or other streaming services. This massive digital revolution has become more relevant now because of the pandemic. While this may have affected the world of cinema but one thing you can be assured of is, film stars continue to be paid handsomely for their work. The transition from the big screen to the streaming screens has hardly made any difference in their financial statement. Variety has revealed a few salaries of big stars.
