Julia Roberts | Homecoming

What if you could work for only four days but get paid four years’ worth of salary? This happened to Julia Roberts in 2016 when she appeared in a supporting role for Mother’s Day. While many said that the actress was already past her prime, this incident proved she was still a sought-after movie star. Before this, in 2010, the actress also appeared for six minutes in Valentine’s Day and was paid $3 million.

Another project that is raking in millions for the actress is her role in Amazon’s Homecoming, where she earns $600,000 per episode. Two episodes made her $1.2 million to top up her investment money. Each episode in the series is less than 30 minutes, making Julia Roberts one of the highest-paid actresses on a per-minute basis, which is almost impossible to beat.
