Tom Cruise look down on everyone. According to Variety’s list of highest-paid actors, the star of Top Gun: Maverick reached $100 million earned in just one year. Compared to his other colleagues, who immediately ask for sensational cachets, Tom and his agents agree on lower figures, preferring to add the percentage on the proceeds to the contract. The same will happen for the next chapters of Mission Impossible whose cachet will start from an initial 12 million.
