Why is everyone in this thread comparing themselves to a popular ~60 year old director working in Hollywood?
Yes, it’s a good salary compared to the average person, but he’s not working an average job. He should be earning at least 5x more like his colleagues are.
This was his first movie. He wasn’t a big director. Also, he runs one of the big CGI/VFX studios, Blur, so if they were doing well he was making more than just his Deadpool salary.

Your second point is completely irrelevant. Many people have side-hustles. But that has nothing to do with what he was paid for: this movie.
Do you think it’s fair that any person ever makes 5x more than anyone else?
Did he spend a decade uni with a PhD 🤨. I doubt it and I doubt his skills are any more exceptional than most.
Going rate for a first class SWE In most first world countries is ~30k USD. It’s an absolutely amazing salary.
I don’t know about the US, maybe the QOL there is much better than the media portrays, but I think that’s more than enough money.
