Very few actors make that kind of money. And when a Tom Cruise type gets that kind of a payday, it's for months of shooting and doing his own stunts, followed by days or weeks of publicity tours and interviews. Obviously, Netflix thinks a Dave Chappelle special is worth that kind of money, and so Dave Chappelle has earned it, but, cripes, that is an enormous sum of money for very little effort, comparatively speaking. Medical professionals don't make that in a lifetime.

Tom Cruise does not get that type of money - he produces his own films now - he makes 5 times more. He's produced nearly 50% of his films.
By the way, you do realize that it takes around a year to write and perfect 90 minutes of material for a special via standup in clubs, right?
Tam can get 2 movies done in that amount of time.

Maybe on Mission Impossible films he makes 100 million. Nothing else grosses nearly enough to get him that kind of cash. He probably loses millions on stuff like The Mummy, if he's producing them.

If he wanted to, he could have sold all of his new movies and not risk losing any money (netflix covers all production costs and pays extra for profit).
