George Clooney’s $ 35 million offer for a day’s work

Thirty-five million dollars was not enough to convince George Clooney to take a one-day job. The 60-year-old Oscar-winning actor revealed in an interview with The Guardian that he declined the offer on ethical grounds.

“You are right. I was offered $ 35 million for a day’s work for an airline ad, but I discussed it with Amal and we decided it wasn’t worth it. I was associated with a country that, while an ally, is questionable at times, and then I thought, ‘Well, if it takes a minute of sleep, it’s not worth it,’ Clooney said.

The country to which the actor was referring was not disclosed, but the reason for Clooney’s questioning is that he could not “sleep soundly if he accepted a job from a country where human rights are not respected.”

However, everything indicates that Clooney does not need that 35 million dollars. His successful career has left him a fortune between 250 and 500 million. That career includes not only the successful roles he has played over the years, but also the big brands that he has been associated with.

The actor and businessman sold his Casamigos tequila company for almost a billion dollars and from his contract with Nespresso, which has been going on for two decades, he has accumulated 40 million.

But George is not the only Clooney who is successful and involved in social causes. His wife, Amal, is a human rights lawyer. “The type of work my wife does leads her to confront and prosecute terrorist groups, so we must take all possible precautions to keep our family safe,” the actor commented in an open letter published in Variety.

This was said in reference to a request he made to the press not to take or publish photos of his twins. “We cannot protect our children if a publication puts their faces on the cover,” he added. (E)
