Everyone knows how good extremely high the salaries are for top actors and actresses but can you really comprehend their purchasing power? You might struggle to buy a $20,000 car but for Nicolas Cage who makes $20,000,000 a year that’s equivalent to spending $30.00. No joke! Spending $275,000 on house, for Nicolas Cage, is like spending a mere $412.50. Ah, to have a bank account with his numbers… Check it out on the Bankrate Movie Star Spending Power calculator!
Don't you mean $20,000,000 a picture? He does have quite the salary. And yeah he does take a pay cut if it's something he really wants to do. But he has 10+ pictures either in the works or up and coming at $20-25 MILLION a PIC!!! That's earning power! God I can't even imagine

I bet you are a little closer to imagining it than we are, Ella But yes, that is a whole lotta cheddar. Must be nice. But, you know, I'm still very surprised that he doesn't earn more.

Well, yeah, it's a lot.... but I guess I just think he deserves a lot more. It irks me that people like Freakazoid Cruise make so much more and don't have 1/10th of the talent he does.

Damn Couch Jumper for raising the bar!!!

Oh well, atleast our Nic isn't rumored to be queer! So he can take his extra 5 mil. & stick it where the sun doesn't shine! He probably would enjoy it too! LOL!
Well you hear EVERYTHING living in Hell-Ay about everyone. And I've heard that Nic was gay. Or a druggie. Or not really Weston's father. Jesus! People! Look at the guy!!! He looks just like him! I don't believe any of that other **** either. But for him NEEDING the money? Well. He probably does now that SOMEONE has to buy $2000 swimsuits!!!!!!!!!!!! Where's the money gonna come from? I'm just waiting for HER to open up her own restaurant and leave him. She's bound to at any given moment in THIS town. You know something's up with him when he starts buying up the real estate and walking around with his laptop attached to his hip. He's up to something. Hope it's emailing Marty Singer his lawyer!!!!
I mean come on. He's bought houses already on Paradise Island, Bahamas. Newport Beach, CA. Looking in Germany. Built a brand new one in Sedona, AZ. Bought an old fixer upper in San Francisco, CA. Something is UP big time.

WHOA..... ella has connections! This ROCKS! What do you think it all means? Sorry, I'm a bit naive about this sort of thing.
And why would anyone think Nic is gay? He doesn't give off any vibes at ALL!

sorry to say it but ive heard similar stuff except about not being Weston's daddy. and the rumors dont surprise me because were talking about an edgy kind of guy here. to dabble in risky behavior wouldnt be that far off for a guy like Nick. as to the money he makes dont forget that about 50% is taken right off the top to pay for his handlers, security, lawyers. all that stuff. what he makes isnt what he goes home with. now the houses? hes probably trying to shelter his money or hes addicted to real estate. when you have money like that you have to spend it. it will make more money for him when he goes to sell it than if it was just sitting in a bank account or in risky stocks. real estate is prime for investment purposes.
That's a smart observation, Ava. I guess because I've never had that kind of money and don't know anyone who has, I don't think about that kind of stuff.

A lot of the buying of land is for legal tax sheltering. He could rent out the properties if he wanted or just keep them as the write off for business expenses. I would think, too, he wants a home to sleep in while shooting all over, rather than a hotel. I wonder if they are all staffed 24/7 just in case he drops in?

Yeah, Nanny is good. You know, a lot of these male celebrities try to tap the nanny. Look at Jude Law.

Didn't he go on a real estate spree just before his split from Patricia as well?

LMAO! Isn't it funny how he, in a way, is like us "common" folk? Hell when things aren't going so well for me, I like to do some shopping. His wallet is just a little bigger than mine, that's all! LOL!
You know, if he feels like blowing some cash, I would be happy to accept a few trinkets from him. I know I'll never have the one thing in his pants that I REALLY want, so I'll settle for his wallet instead.

NAH! Not me! If I'm going for it, I'm going for "IT"! What's another worthless piece of crap I can't take with me when I die anyways! I'd rather the expirence & if that never happens, then I'll just be happy in knowing that such a person existed for me to atleast fantisize (sp?) about having sex with.
LOL, that sounds like me... it's actually kind of sad and creepy. I get excited thinking about him, and then I look at "real life" men and it's kind of a letdown, at least for most of the ones I've met so far.

OK, I confess... we've been chatting for awhile now. He came across this board a couple of months ago and contacted me, and we've been talking ever since.

(blinks innocently) It's true! Really! He offered me a three-script contract with his production company... and he's gonna build me a mansion right next door to his so I can move out to L.A. and work with him! He also said that I'm way hotter than Alice, and that he's always had a thing for chicks who wear glasses so I'm, like, his ultimate fantasy and stuff. Yeah!
He also said our board is way cooler than CageFactor, 'cause we talk about his peen a lot.

I'm worried about my BACK, because when Kimchi finds out I'm creepin' with her man, she'll throw one of those 78 lb. purses of hers at me and knock me on the ground.
