Is Rick Berman Rich?

[Aike]

Let´s about talk money even though it doesn´t exist in the 24th century.

Rick Berman co-created Deep Space Nine, Voyager and Enterprise.
Did this make him rich? Does anyone know what kind of deal he got?

(There may be some Paramount insiders lurking here)

 

[number6]

I'm sure his deal is substantial. He was involved in Trek's production for 18 years.

 

[JiNX-01]

If Rick offers to swap bank accounts, say yes.

 

[Dale]

Rick Berman bathes in a tub full of quarters and wipes his butt with 10s and 20s... and points and laughs at G4 coverage of conventions and reruns of Trek on TV. Late at night, he sneaks out to Gene Roddenberry's grave and pees on it while lighting his cigar with a 50.

 

[Outpost4]

I've never heard anyone call him Rich Berman although I bet his full first name is Richard.




You mean this wasn't the question?

Nevermind.

Don't forget about drinking the tears of trekkies.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

He bathes in the blood Trekkies sweat worrying about ENT's continuity issues.

While I think some of you are being too hard on him ("bathes in the blood of Trekkies"??, geez.) I do think the question is a fair one.

The thing to remember is that Berman works in HOLLYWOOD. Asking if he's rich is like asking if the sky is blue.

One thing for sure, he is not working the con's in an effort to pay the bills.

Yes, I am quite sure developing a hit show pays well. But there are some differences, he did not create Star Trek; he just developed and ran the brand for Paramount. And his three series were only moderately successful compared to TNG. So he must be far from Aaron Spelling rich.

 

[The Boy Who Cried Worf]

Well I don't think he has Lucas money, but he has to be a ten-millionaire minimum

 

[Dale]

Surely richer than any of the actors who worked for him.

 

[Starbreaker]

After four series and four movies? Yeah...

 

[Aike]

Surely richer than any of the actors who worked for him.

Patrick Steward may have made more. He surely got several millions as the lead on TNG and at least between 10-20 millions from the four movies. He also got millions from the X-men trilogy.

 

[Broccoli]

He was rich, but he blew it all on hookers and blow.

That was Braga and Moore.

 

[RandyS]

Wiether or not he created Star Trek (yes, I know he didn't) isn't the issue. The question was, "is he rich?", well, the man works on Hollywood. Everybody down there lives in houses that are far too big for them, has golden toilets in every room, servants to see to their every need, and kiss their asses, and have more money than God.

So, it would seem to me, the answer to the OP's question is obvious.

 

[Brolan]

Yes.

 

[Cyrus]

In addition to the big money he collected while working on Trek Berman is getting some nice royalty checks in the mail every month.

Difference is Moore still has BSG to fuel the vice. Braga has to get the cheap shit now.
