Mark Ruffalo is lights-out

In The Cut made me forget Meg Ryan was Meg ryan. I was just going who is this idiot woman who is sexually interested exclusively in murder suspects.

I'm quite interested in seeing more of Mr. Ruffalo but I'm afraid that I might not like him de-moustached.

I heart Ruffalo and all, but in any given year he's more than likely part of the 1-percent, not the 99.

So?

Rich guy cares about people less rich than him. Man, what a phony.

i'm in love with him.

I just found it amusing, that a millionaire (even with his heart in the right place) doesn't realize where he sits economically. It's sort of that "I make $250k/year, I'm middle class!" thing.

Did he ever say that? I mean, it's not like Warren Buffett chilling down on the bridge but he's not denying his own wealth, either.

I can't remember how the 99%/1% looks numbers-wise, but while Ruffalo is most likely rich, he's not in the same league as the Wall Street execs. I wonder if he's even a billionaire. Even so, it would have made some sense to acknowledge that he was in a very well-off stratum of the 99%.

But yeh, I'm still in love with him too.

The point is less "we are all poor" and more "the obscenely rich haven't had to give up anything"; you can lead an extremely comfortable life on a low 6-figure income but that doesn't mean that economic randomness hasn't made you give up some things, some of which may not even be luxuries (specifically, a lot of folks in the low 6-figure income bracket are ripe candidates for getting laid off, which is going to have a drastic impact on your life even with a sizable savings cushion).

"Oh he's a millionaire" scoffing misses that he's a contract employee whose incoming salary is dependent on landing parts in a notoriously fickle industry and whose only real basis for long-term economic stability is to put his money at the mercy of the people currently being protested against for turning other people's money into their money. He has just as much a stake in this as someone making $22K in a restaurant and brushing him off or painting him as "other" reinforces the shallowness point he makes early on in his article.

I wonder if he's even a billionaire.

HAH! While actors can make a lot of money, you're still looking at probably $300 million or less net worth for a Tom Cruise, let alone a Mark Ruffalo.

the only billionaire actor I can think of is Oprah, and she didn't become a billionaire by acting

i don't think it's really necessary for mark ruffalo to be like "DISCLAIMER: I'M A RICH ACTOR"

actually theres no way those numbers are right, way too low, ignore post

Nicolas Cage had little to no cash on hand within the last two years! Bad accounting and horrible money management.

I was about to type out a long post about FDIC insurance and Ruffalo's net worth

am I really trying to avoid work this badly

It is Monday, and it is your role as tax avocado to tell us about these things.

fwiw I used to have a piñata full of money but the tax man took it away

masterman535.hubpages.com used to be a pretty reliable source of journalism -- just another example of a dying field
