Nespresso Paid Clooney $40 Million
Clooney may have gotten paid an incredible salary, but he didn’t put that money to waste. Clooney help start the Satellite Sentinel Project, which is a spy program used to track the movements of Sudan’s army, to warn civilians in the area about oncoming attacks. When discussing his Nespresso partnership with The Guardian in 2013, Clooney said, “most of the money I make on the commercials I spend keeping a satellite over the border of North and South Sudan to keep an eye on Omar al-Bashir.”
