Channing Tatum Earned His Highest Career Payday From “Red Shirt” (Outside Of Magic Mike)

There’s an old adage in Hollywood (and any creative field, really) to write what you know. Before he became a globally known actor, Channing Tatum was a male stripper in Tampa. Years later, he thought making a semi-autobiographical movie about those days would draw some box office interest.
Tatum ended up betting on himself to make Magic Mike , and it paid off—he’s earned about $90 million from the franchise.
In nearly two decades in Hollywood, Tatum has appeared in several movies that have performed well financially. He starred opposite Amanda Bynes in She’s the Man . He showed off his dancing chops in Step Up . He played a student alongside Jonah Hill in 21 Jump Street .
Yet, aside from Magic Mike , Tatum’s highest-paying gig is a movie that hasn’t come out yet: Red Shirt .

One final note: Back in 2000, Tatum scored a spot as a backup dancer for Ricky Martin’s “She Bangs” music video. He was paid $400 for his work. Today, he has a net worth of $80 million. Betting on yourself can pay massive financial dividends!
