#20: The Joker Has Some Tricks Up His Sleeve
Jack Nicholson’s negotiation skills strike again! The Hollywood legend was so confident in the success of his role in Batman that he opted to reduce his salary and instead receive a percentage of the movie’s box office and advertising costs. And boy, did that pay off!
The film was a massive hit, and Nicholson’s gamble earned him an estimated $60-90 million. That’s enough to buy a Batmobile or two! Nicholson’s portrayal of the Joker was a fan favorite, and his performance is still praised to this day. Looks like the Joker got the last laugh in this deal. It just goes to show that sometimes taking a chance can pay off big time. Now, excuse me while I go renegotiate my coffee budget at work.
