Ansel Elgort – $500,000
Tokyo Vice is not out yet, but we are willing to wait for it. This show is based on the memoir of Jake Adelstein, an American journalist trying to uncover corruption in Tokyo during the late ‘90s. The premise itself is fascinating, and the other said his account “steps on too many toes.” This was the reason he had a hard time looking for a Japanese publisher in the past. Ansel Elgort got cast to play the journalist and allegedly received $500,000 per episode.
Miley Cyrus – $550,000
As the daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus of “Achy Breaky Heart” fame, Miley Cyrus was music royalty from the moment she was born. When she was a teenager, she starred in a Disney TV show called Hannah Montana. This served as her big break, but her music has also brought her to the Billboard charts many times. She can clearly sing, so it is good to hear that she is helping other singers improve as well. When she was on the 2016-2017 season of The Voice, she was paid $13 million. We can then break it down to more than $550,000 for each episode!
