Djimon Hounsou Says He Is “Still Struggling To Make A Living” Despite Oscar Nominations, Blockbuster Roles (archive.ph)

In January 2020, Djimon bought a house in LA's Westchester neighborhood for $2.1 million. In October 2023, he offered his home for rent for $11,750 per month.

His net worth is somewhere in the 2m to 4m range, with some outliers putting it at 35m.

Even if he had bought the house outright (which is not the majority), he'd still be making 12k a month...for free. Not counting his job.

I wish I was "struggling to make a living" like he is.

Are all these rich bitches a psyop to make us sound like leftists? Because, while I don't hate all rich people, I fucking hate hearing these rich whiners complain, when he makes more from his rental in three months than many people make in the whole year, for their job.

Again, that's not even his job, that's his rental "side hustle" or whatever.

Fuck off, mate.

12k/mo on 2100k is a 14.6 year RoI. Of course, he could always sell it, earning a lump sum too, but solely as an income-earning apparatus, or using rent to offset mortgage costs, that's a fairly "fair" price per month. To contrast, a 150k house would be about $860/mo at that ratio, for a full-house, not room, rental.

Don't get me wrong, the fact you can sell the home at the end of the RoI earning period makes mockery of this whole thing, dude's got no financial knowledge AT ALL if he feels poor at those wealth levels and we should all meme on him for it, but the price itself isn't outlandish.

I never said the price was outlandish or unfair, I said that he was earning 12k a month in addition to his job...and whining about "struggling" is a slap in the face.

I'm not saying you can't or shouldn't be able to rent out your two million dollar mansion for 12k a month. My issue isn't with market rate, or RoI, or anything. I don't care; obviously someone else wants that lifestyle, and can also afford it. That's totally fine.

I don't resent his wealth, I resent his attitude. As I said, most people would trade financial places with him in a heartbeat, to experience his "struggle."

Man, it just gets worse and worse the more I look into it.

Djimon Hounsou has spent his Gladiator money on some rather lavish things. According to DIRT, Hounsou owns a home in Los Angeles, California, and a home in his native Benin. He also owns a vacation home in the Maldives.

Hounsou is a collector of art, and he has a large collection of African art. He has also donated art to museums and galleries.

Hounsou is a car enthusiast, and he owns a collection of luxury cars. He has been seen driving a Ferrari, a Lamborghini, and a Rolls-Royce. Hounsou loves to travel, and he has visited all over the world. He has said that he enjoys experiencing different cultures and learning about different people.

Again, fuck off, mate. Must of us would love to "struggle to make a living" like you do.

I don't know if it's just my perception or if it's true, but there seems to be an uptick in articles to make the public sympathize with actors.

100%. When everyone realized that actors are incredibly stupid, entertainment media released a ton of articles claiming a bunch of actors were secret geniuses with 140+ IQs. None of this shit is organic.

I can’t remember which podcast it was, but I saw someone go down a long list of “old Hollywood glamor” headlines after the Golden Globes. About a ton of different actors and from a ton of different outlets. Obviously coordinated

Their publicists are friends with a lot of the 'access media', which in turn routinely declare them the most beautiful women or the most handsome men in the world. The publicists also coordinate this with the big studios, who in turn work the access media when they're about to release a new movie involving these actors/actresses.

Sympathize? No, the more articles like this come out the more excited I get at the prospect of seeing all professional celebrity actors replaced by AI. No likenesses either. Characters original enough that nobody gets paid to pretend. "Acting" will be relegated to LARP and faggots on broadway.

People with similar names as his can feed their family of 5 for a week with 10 cents worth of UN supplied rice and beans and consider themselves middle class.

Sell one of your houses, dude

And not even the first time he's whined.

The Guardian lists him being cast as - aka being paid to pretend to be - a slave as a mark in the Oppression column.

system racism.. so how come will smith and denzel washington and morgan freeman are super rich? its about name recognition.. no one is gonna see a movie because this guy is in it. he is a fine actor, but actors are paid based on their pulling power.

its like that black female comedian and that fat piggy amy schumer complaining dave chapelle makes 10x more money than them on netflix. lol.

I love how many of them love to tote around "X Nominated" like its some mark of value.

You lost, let it go. Sucks for you, but if you want that value so bad find a movie that will get it to you. Or Bribe/fuck the right people to win it like everyone who actually wins does.
