What we know:

Matt Damon made $3 million for the movie “Oppenheimer”. He, like many of the other A-list celebrities on that cast, took a pay cut for the chance to work with Christopher Nolan. This is in contrast to Robert Downey Jr. who made $4 million, Emily Blunt who made $4 million, and Cillian Murphy who made $10 million as the lead role.

He made $25 million for “The Martian.”

Matt Damon made $10 million for the initial Bourne movie, “The Bourne Identity.” He then went on to make $26 million for “The Bourne Supremacy” and another $26 million for “The Bourne Ultimatum.”

For the movie “Air” with Ben Affleck, Matt Damon took home $30 million, which is the highest paycheck he’s ever received for a single movie. What’s even more amazing about it is the fact that the entire movie’s budget was $90 million in total, and the movie took in only $89 million in its box office run.

For the movie “Spirit,” he got paid $2.3 million to play the voice acting role of the main character.

Although not confirmed, it has been speculated by fans that Matt Damon netted a $10 million paycheck for the movie “Interstellar.”

For his tiny role in “Thor: Ragnarok,” he did not get paid. In fact, he had to jump through some hoops to get his cameo to happen. He is good friends with Taika Waititi and Chris Hemsworth, who helped him make that a reality.
