For every $29 at the box office, Damon gets $1.
Oh, and his films generally gross $2 billion.
Damon's among the top 35 highest grossing actors of all time.
He owns a Star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame.
And he had one line of dialogue in 1988's Mystic Pizza. (Epic!)
As to his fame, Damon had been a starving actor for years.
(He ate quite well actually. His parents were loaded, and he attended Harvard though he didn't graduate.)
However, he and his boy Ben Affleck networked like crazy.
Through connections, they got their script looked at by A-list writers and directors all over Hollywood.
Equipped with expert advice, Damon and Affleck altered the script to what's now known as Good Will Hunting.
The film received 9 Academy Award nominations and won Damon and Affleck Best Original Screenplay. Boom.
I'm f*cking Matt Damon:
