I know what you’re thinking, “Yes Man?” Of all the films Jim has played, how could this be his biggest payday? Turns out Carrey reportedly exchanged his salary for “Yes Man” for an ownership stake in the movie, which amazingly paid off. I’ve still never seen the film, but good on Jim for making a wise business move on that one.
