Alex Honnold, a renowned American rock climber who recently scaled Taipei 101, a 508 meter high-rise in Taiwan, for a Netflix live stream, has revealed that he was not paid much for the adventure.
While the coverage was widely watched, Honnold said in an interview that he did not even make a million dollars for the gig, inviting widespread online backlash against Netflix.
From voicing that Honnold should have been better compensated due to the risks involved to demanding royalty provisions for him, the internet batted on Honnold’s behalf, with full force.
