Michelle Williams Earned Less Than $1,000; Mark Wahlberg Earned $1.5 Million

Mark Wahlberg reportedly earned $1.5 for the reshoots in ‘All the Money in the World,’ while his co-star Michelle Williams received less than $1,000

Ridley Scott’s All the Money in the World was partially re-shot after Kevin Spacey was fired due to sexual misconduct allegations. The re-shot scenes featured Mark Wahlberg and Michelle Williams.

But Williams, USA Today reports, earned less than $1,000 for her work – less than one percent of the $1.5 million that Wahlberg earned.

Williams previously told USA Today that she “appreciated so much that they were making this massive effort” to reshoot the film. “I said I’d be wherever they needed me, whenever they needed me,” she said. “And they could have my salary; they could have my holiday, whatever they wanted.”

Scott said that the actors, including Williams and Wahlberg, who agreed to the 10-day November re-shoot of the film, “did it for nothing.” According to USA Today, Wahlberg’s agency renegotiated for a “hefty fee” later on.

All the Money in the World received three nominations at Sunday’s Golden Globes – the same event where both male and female actors wore black to highlight the recently established Time’s Up Initiative, which, as part of its mission, advocates for gender parity.

Well, there ya have it there ain’t nothing but hypocrites in Hollywood. Ridiculous!

But now…

Mark Wahlberg is donating $1.5 million to the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund in costar Michelle Williams’ name.

The donation comes in response to criticism over a gender pay gap for reshoots of the movie “All the Money in the World.” Wahlberg was paid $1.5 million for the reshoots while Williams made just around $1,000, or $80 a day.

“Over the last few days my reshoot fee for ‘All the Money in the World’ has become an important topic of conversation,” Wahlberg said in a statement. “I 100% support the fight for fair pay and I’m donating the $1.5M to the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund in Michelle Williams’ name.”

That’s admirable of Wahlberg, but the producers should be contributing in her name too. Shame on all of them!

Williams issued a statement in response to the donation on Saturday:

“If we truly envision an equal world, it takes equal effort and sacrifice,” Williams’ statement read in part. “Today is one of the most indelible days of my life because of Mark Wahlberg, WME and a community of women and men who share in this accomplishment. Anthony Rapp, for all the shoulders you stood on, now we stand on yours.”
