The Apprentice rumored cast salary: The stars earnings
It seems that The Apprentice did not have a very high budget, with Showbiz Galore reporting that the project was allocated $16 million. Although this might sound like a lot, it is modest in relation to the expenses of film production.
This could indicate that the main stars were not paid excessively, but it has not yet been confirmed if the reported figures are accurate. However, the outlet stated that Sebastian Stan is the highest-paid member of the cast.
The Gossip Girl actor is reported to have earned between $800,000 and $1 million for his role as Donald Trump, which seems relatively low considering he is one of the most well-known figures in the industry.
In second place is Jeremy Strong, who, for his role as Roy Cohn, is said to have earned between $300,000 and $500,000. Here, check out what the main actors would have received as a base salary:
- Sebastian Stan as Donald Trump | $800,000
- Jeremy Strong as Roy Cohn | $300,000
- Maria Bakalova as Ivana Trump | $150,000
- Martin Donovan as Fred Trump | $110,000
- Charlie Carrick as Fred Trump Jr. | $85,000
