Millionaire Many Times Over

The first Matrix sequel, The Matrix Reloaded, premieres in the U.S., followed six months later by the The Matrix Revolutions on Nov. 5. Reeves spends 11 months in Australia filming the movies back-to-back and says finishing "was like stepping on the shore after crossing an ocean." In a deal that pays him $15 million per film, plus 15 percent of both films' profits, he earns more than $150 million for the project.

He tangled with similar hell-on-earth themes in 1997's The Devil's Advocate, where he played a lawyer hired by big-firm hotshot Al Pacino, who also happens to be Satan.
