What Job Is Not Worth $ 50 Million Dollars

What Job Is Not Worth $ 50 Million Dollars



I recently read an article which said that Christian Bale turned down $50 Million Dollars to play Batman again. $50 Million Dollars!! I think Christian Bale is a fantastic actor, his Batman was by far the best of the bunch. I just can't imagine turning down $50 million.

I would never tell anyone what to do but I might have taken the role and then put the money to good use. Even if he did the worst acting job ever, people would say, the movie sucked, but he cured _____, whatever. You get the point. I doubt I would just say no though.
I started thinking, what job would I turn down, even for $50 million dollars? Is there any? What would it take for me to say, nah, I don't need the cash that badly.



The first thing I could come up with was if someone offered me $50
million to spend the rest of my life ONLY painting copies of Mark
Rothko's work.

Now, what person with $50 million dollars would give it to me to paint copies of Mark Rothko's work? You guessed it, no one...so I think I am in the clear. Saved from a lifetime of putting one box on top of another...

I also wouldn't do anything that would make me out to be the fool forever. For example, I would not take an acting role where I had to dress up as Yoko Ono and sing a duet of "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" with Will Farrell... no charity is worth that.

Well, those were the two that I came up with...

So I was wondering if any of you out there have a job you wouldn't take...even for $50 million dollars. Now I mean job...don't say I wouldn't kill, rape, kidnap, etc, because most of us would turn that job down. It has to be a real job - like playing Batman for example, or singing duets with Will Farrell.

Ok, back to painting...
