Jason Isaacs obtained millions of people of star roles in “Harry Potter” and “The White Lotus” – but he says that he “spent almost everything”
While many celebrities come out of the woodwork to share their economical habits, we admit that he has already traveled a large part of his money. Harry Potter And White lotus Star Jason Isaacs is on a fortune estimated at $ 6 million, although a large part could disappear.
“People will think that I have enormous stocks of money, but unfortunately, what I did quite immaturally was expanding my expenses to correspond to my creations and has almost spent everything that I have won over the years,” Isaacs told Vulture in a recent interview.
The British actor allegedly amassed millions of his incredibly successful roles: Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter series, which has brought in more than $ 7 billion worldwide; Colonel William Tavington in the Hit of the 200 million dollars box office The patriot; The sadly famous Captain Hook in 2003 Peter Pan; And more recently, Timothy Ratliff in the massively popular HBO television show The white lotus.
Isaacs could have been even richer today – but it is not only because he likes to spend
After his many successes, the 62 -year -old ISSACs should be seated on a fortune that most of the actors would stand. But his bank account may not be as full as the other celebrities concerned with the money who have accumulated a Hollywood nest egg.
Indeed, in addition to taking advantage of money, Isaacs agrees to be less to be part of good projects, having insisted on being paid in the same way as the other novices White lotus Actors during the shooting of season three. They were all paid for a flat rate of $ 40,000 per episode for the last shooting series – or, around $ 320,000 in total.
“It bothers me that I was not paid more than the others? I never work for money,” said Issacs. “I mean, I did well.”
It was not the leading less remunerated role he assured, despite more lucrative opportunities. Isaacs underlined how actors can earn a lot of money to disappear for a month to film a streaming film for giants like Netflix or Hulu. Although he has prospered artistically, there is a shade of regret for not having marked these high pay checks.
“There are a number of things that I could have done over the years that would have made me rich,” added Isaacs. “And now that I am around the fall of my career, I think I may be an idiot and I should have done some of these things and I just put it in bank, because the others do it.”
Celebrities living a very different lifestyle (Read: frugal)
While the Harry Potter Star may have exploded a good part of its wealth, many other celebrities are putting cents during their career summits. Actress Keke Palmer was a millionaire at the age of 12, but she is still stuck by a frugal lifestyle that her parents instilled in her.
“I live under my means. I think it’s incredibly important,” Palmer told CNBC in an interview last month. “If I have $ 1 million in my pocket, my rent will be $ 1,500 – that’s how I speak. My car note will be $ 340. I don’t need a [Bentley] Bentayga, I’m going to get into a lexus.
Buffy Star Sarah Michelle Gellar is also known to continue a good deal as far as possible. The actress reduces coupons, is looking for the best gas prices and will think about a purchase for days before making follies. Gellar hates to write big checks and is very protective on the richness that it has raised by tubes like I know what you did last summer And Scooby-Doo.
“You have heard all these stories of actors who earn money, and people run away,” said Gellar at CNBC in an interview of 2018. “I remember thinking:” If I had money like that, I would know where it was at any time. »»
There is a lot of stigma behind CEOs and celebrities who are paid for millions, while the average worker survives the minimum wage. It is therefore less common to see that these highly clearly so open individuals to spend their wealth, but Isaacs does not hesitate to be honest or to recognize control.
“”Generally, the actors do not speak of public salary because he is ridiculously disproportionate with what we do – make up and funny voices – and simply disturbs the public, “he said.
And whether they spend it or save it, Issacs considers himself lucky to be paid (generously) for a job he loves.
“But compared to what people are normally paid for large television programs, it is a very low price. But the fact is that we would have paid to be there. We would probably have given part of the body.”
