This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

He started off at 20-40k per episode and was doing 80k per episode in season 3 of Lost, possibly more in the later seasons. More than a million a year easily at that point. He was pretty important for a supporting cast member and they all made decent money.

Supposedly he also doesn't like living a flashy life with fancy stuff, his treat to himself for landing the Hawaii Five-0 gig was a custom jumpsuit, not a car or watch or house.

So that got me curious and I went and checked his insta. Not a single instance of him flexing wealth or trying to be an influencer or whatever. Seems like he wanted to be the opposite of Hurley with his money.

Now if he was a big spender, it'd be pretty easy to burn through all his money, but it looks like he's more careful than that.

That's great. I hope he's basically able to pick and choose his roles these days, and not work if there's nothing he's interested in.

Looks like it. He says he's passed on TV shows that he found uninteresting.
