Alex Honnold Was Paid Less Than a $1 Million for 'Skyscraper Live'

For Netflix's "Skyscraper Live," Alex Honnold was paid less than a $1 million to climb Taipei 101. Why so little?

Variety

I watched Alex Honnold free solo the Taipei skyscraper, but only after I knew he'd completed it. I don't know why Netflix thought this needed to be a livestream.

It's also so wild to me that spectators were allowed to watch him from inside the building.
