I removed the entry that said, "This appears to have been Dakota Fanning's reason for appearing in the indie film Hounddog, where her character infamously got raped."
According to IM Db, Dakota was paid "scale" for Hounddog, meaning the minimum that the Screen Actors Guild would allow her to be paid. The budget for the entire film was reported as $4 million (a small film budget by the standards of that time, 2007). It seems much more likely that Dakota took the role to establish herself as being able to play dramatic roles, not for the money, which was apparently not very much.
Re. Brando and Superman: "eight dollars for every second he was on screen" isn't a lot by Hollywood standards; in fact, it's low enough that I think it might be a mistake. If he had a ten minute cameo, that would mean he got paid less than five grand. Do you think Brando would've gotten out of bed for that?
No section on anime/manga? There must be some anime director or mangaka who's done certain series solely for money.

It just means nobody's thought of a specific example yet. Feel free to add one.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
Has anyone seen The Secret of Moonacre or 5 Children and It?
Oh good Moonacre =_= pretty much everyone in that movie deserves to be put on this page.
Also, the captcha reads "buffoons." How appropriate.
Does Patrick Stewart even belong here? If he does roles for the fun of it, it's not for the money, dear boy.
