We know that nominees like Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio are worth a pretty penny, but their salaries are nothing compared to the amount of money that goes into the biggest night in cinema. And guess what? Even though these A-listers can afford pretty much whatever they want, they’re still treated like queens and kings on Oscars night.
