Deserves to be paid in the millions!

Millions of pennies maybe.

Who the *beep* would give money to a guy buying castles and Ferraris? You're insane. I have bills.

He made $20,000,000 EACH for Windtalkers, National Treasure, and Gone in Sixty Seconds. In 2009 alone, he made $40,000,000.

More recently, he gets $2,000,000-10,000,000 per flick, plus a cut of gross revenues. From 1996-2011, he made $150,000,000 in acting fees, before his percentage ($10,000,000/yr).

But dingbat failed to pay his taxes, ended up owing $14 million, and now takes every script shown to him, undercutting himself in the marketplace. https://ca.movies.yahoo.com/blogs/wide-screen/nicolas-cage-eccentric-career-numbers-204543419.html

Meanwhile, the median income of working people in the US over age 25 was $38,432 in 2014 (Census Bureau, Personal Income -- gets down to individual income, unlike Household which could be for multiple people, or Per Capita, which divides it out amongst children and those without income/earnings, http://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/income-poverty/cps-pinc.html ). The average adult would have to work 26 years to make $1M. Considering he probably enjoys his job, in addition to being able to choose when to work and on what, as well as the above-average working conditions and benefits, it seems unreasonable that he is paid 260 times more than the average American. HE should be crowdfunding US.

But attractive, well-connected people always do better than average ones

How in the Hell can he need money with what he has made? 14 million should be pocket change for him to pay back.
