The massive figure is almost five times the amount he had earned for his first two outings as the superspy, The Sun reported.

Craig, 44, who was recently seen in Bond film ‘Skyfall’, is now signed up for a follow-up film to be released by 2014, with another one in 2016.

Earlier, Craig scooped 1.9 million pounds for ‘Casino Royale’ in 2006 and then 4.4 million for ‘Quantum of Solace’ in 2008.


Craig's cheque is much above previous Bond Pierce Brosnan, who was paid 10.4 million pounds for ‘Die Another Day’ in 2002.

It also puts Craig ahead of other British actors such as Sacha Baron Cohen, who earned 18.9 million pounds for his writing and producing, and ‘Twilight’ star Robert Pattinson, who grossed 16.3 million pounds.
