Diaz chose to accept just $1 million upfront for her leading role in the movie. In exchange for the low initial payday, she receives a cut of the movie’s back-end gross.

Diaz Has Endorsed Various Products, Especially Early In Her Career
For full disclosure, we don’t know how much Cameron Diaz has earned from her various product endorsements, but her work over the decades has included some impressive names, including Coca-Cola and Softbank.
If you haven’t seen Diaz’ Softbank commercial, that’s likely because it aired in Japan. Here’s a look at the ad spot.
According to StartupTalky, several of the other big brands endorsed by the actor include:
- Calvin Klein
- TAG Heuer
- Winnipeg’s Little Box of Rocks
- Avaline Wines
When Diaz stepped away from acting in 2014, she stopped appearing in major ad campaigns, effectively putting her career on hold as she lived a quieter lifestyle.
