Dream job

Some compensations for star independent professionals in the movie industry are quite jaw-dropping. For example, here are the highlights from Robert De Niro’s contract for the “Savage Salvation” movie, according to Los Angeles Times:

• $11 million for 8 production days (incl. pre- and post-production)
• Round-trip private air transportation on Gulfstream IV jet
• Right to retain all nonrental costumes, apparel, clothing, props, prosthetics and wigs after picture lock
• Travel, per diem, ground transportation and accommodations at Ritz-Carlton for personal trainer
• Travel, per diem, and accommodations for personal assistant
• Seven-day vacation for De Niro and his family at Ritz-Carton following production with all expenses
• One round-trip private jet flight between NY and LA… — and much more

As the personal-finance writer Ramit Sethi commented on Twitter: “This is one of the most insane contracts I have ever seen.”
