17. Will I get rich?
Probably not. About 75% of all stunt people are part
timers. World wide, probably less than 500 people make a full time living
from stuntwork. In theory, a New Zealand stunt person could earn up to
$150,000 a year ($600 a day, working five days a week for 50 weeks a year).
The reality is somewhat different. a full time stunt person would be lucky
to work two days a week on average, for around $500 - $600 a day. A grand
total of $50,000 - $60,000 in a year.
If that sounds like good money for a two day working week,
don't forget to factor in the cost of personal equipment (see Question
14), and time plus money spent exercising, training, and gaining new
skills. Stunt work is not as cushy a number as it at first appears.
