According to a new report by Variety, the 36-year-old comedian renegotiated her Netflix special salary once she learned what Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle were paid for their respective stand-up specials.
While the two were paid $20 million for their routines, Variety claims Schumer had been paid $11 million for her “The Leather Special” taping. Schumer was reportedly able to raise her payment significantly after going back to the streaming channel and asking for more. The March special was taped after Schumer’s rise in popularity, thanks in part to an Emmy win for Inside Amy Schumer and success with her first starring role in the film Trainwreck.
Schumer’s request for more equal pay comes in the wake of several other female celebrities demanding more money after learning their male counterparts were being paid higher wages. After the Sony hack revealed Chris Hemsworth was getting paid more for his role in the The Huntsman: Winter’s War than costar Charlize Theron, the actress renegotiated her contract and added a reported $10 million to her salary. Emmy Rossum had similar success when she asked to be paid the same as her fellow Shameless lead, William H. Macy.
fans talking ? about her stealing jokes from patrice o neal lol

Shes clearly not on the same level as Rock and Chappelle. Imagine Rudy ? saying "pay me what LeBron and KD get paid".
-
Theron deserved the pay over hemsworth since shes the bigger draw. you could argue that the shameless cast should get paid equally or close because its an ensemble show.
but no ? way does schumer deserve to earn as much as rock and dave chappelle (who had 2 specials) made. -
I can't stand her but I don't see anything wrong with this. She's the "it girl" in female comedy right now. Strike while the iron is hot.
She didn't ask for the same pay, just a raise. -

You from Memphis? Hell Rudy didn't deserve the 80 mil he got in Memphis let alone mike conley getting the max......
And shouldn't her manger be doing the talks about how much she should get paid? -

-
Hilarious

She needs to chill out. She's no where near Chapelle or Rock level.

She is a female carlos mencia.
Gotdamn joke theif.
Stealing jokes from a dead black man, and then asking for a raise.
lol. -
Ironic how she probably thinks she was a victim of sexism and inequality because she was getting paid less than them.
When, in fact, her being able to talk her way into getting pay on par with Rock and Chapelle is actually an example of white privilege since she's not nearly as funny as either one of them. -
This is like the Hunger Games chick complaining that RDJ gets more money than her.
-
First of all she
Second of all Tiffany Haddish is Bigger and Blacker and She Neva Scared for What it's Worth ijs -
Why is this a problem for y'all?

She already eating good for somebody that ain't nowhere near the folks she's trying to be in the room with. She probably just salty two ? are ? on her, cause $11 million is still $11 million.
-
Not a fan at all.
But, it aint my money, and I cant hate on a person getting more money. -
-
Amy Shumer ain't worth it but I don't knock her hustle
She ain't funny at ALL tho. And she got small ? on a big frame. Up to no good imo -

women ask for equal pay, fine, but what's equal about her career vs Chapelles or Rock? Where's her longevity? Where's her classic stand-up? Has she made an impact like Dave did?
They get 20 million not because they're males. They get 20 million because of their long-standing careers in comedy. Chris Rock has produced shows and movies.
Schumers comedy to me is bland, but obviously people find her funny, so there is a large audience for her. But she said her comedy is worth the same as theirs. Really? Come on. Her reasoning is ? . She's not near their level. She's a Vienna Sausage-looking, Dean Cook level comedian.

I agree with the bolded. But some of that status of hers is based on thievery as @Black_Samson alluded to.
You can't be a giggle ganker, then pocket watch 2 legends and you use them as reason for why you should get a pay increase. I mean she can of course....
-
You're worth what you can get them to pay you.
-
Smart move on her part.... She should never be compared to either of those guys tho.
