After he was offered a co-starring role in the two-season cross-dressing sitcom Bosom Buddies in 1980, he eventually moved to New York City. He soon played a number of small roles in subsequent movies.

Success

In 1988, Tom Hanks received widespread acclaim for his performance in the blockbuster film Huge. He started his career by disregarding limitations imposed by genre.

Later, he appeared in a number of well-known films, including Sleepless in Seattle, Apollo 13, Toy Story, You’ve Got Mail, Saving Private Ryan, Cast Away, The Da Vinci Code, and Angels and Demons, among others.

In That Thing You Do!, which he also produced, Hanks launched his career as a producer and director in 1996. Cast Away and The Polar Express are only two of the films he has since directed, and produced.

 Highlights of Salary

Tom’s income from movie salaries alone is quite impressive. From 1988 to 2010, he received approximately $300 million, which amounts to $450 million when adjusted for inflation.

Over the next decade, he earned at least $100 million more. Altogether, Tom has earned a minimum of $400 million from his movie salaries throughout his career without taking inflation into account.

It’s important to note that this figure doesn’t include any payments he received for producing and directing or any residuals.

Back in 1984, Tom’s breakout role in “Splash” earned him a sizable paycheck of $70,000, which translates to approximately $172,000 today when adjusted for inflation.

After a period of four years, in 1988, he received an impressive $1.75 million for his starring role in “Big,” which would be equivalent to about $4 million today.

Tom earned $5 million from “Punchline” in 1998; that sum is now $11 million. His income remained extraordinarily high beginning in the late 1980s.

For instance, he was paid $40 million for “Saving Private Ryan” and each of the films “You’ve Got Mail,” “Cast Away,” and “The Green Mile” brought in $20 million.

Da Vinci Code Salaries

Tom Hanks was paid $18 million for his role in 2006’s “The Da Vinci Code.” He received $25 million for starring in its 2009 sequel, “Angel & Demons,” and another $25 million for his role in the trilogy’s final installment, “Inferno,” which was released in 2016. Altogether, Tom Hanks earned a total of $68 million for his portrayal of Robert Langdon in these films.

The Forrest Gump Salary

With his role in “Forrest Gump” in 1993, Tom was initially projected to make $7 million. The movie had at some point during production greatly exceeded its allotted budget.

Tom offered to forgo his income in return for “first dollar” backend points rather than risk the movie-going off-course.

He was given a portion of the box office earnings due to Paramount in that case after the theater owners had taken their cut and before the studio began deducting expenditures such as marketing and printing.

Forrest Gump eventually became a huge box office success, collecting $700 million at the box office and an additional $100-200 million over time from licensing agreements, VHS, and DVD sales.

Tom had gotten a great deal on his first dollar deal. His backend points were equivalent to almost $70 million in the first year alone, or over $120 million in today’s dollars. One of the richest acting salaries in Hollywood history, it is still by far his biggest acting salary.
