Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch, whose roles in Hollywood films such as The Power Of The Dog and the Avengers series have built him an estimated £30 million fortune, was reported to have made £240,000 by posing for more than 3,000 photos with fans at a 2017 convention, the Daily Mail reported.
His earnings at the London Film and Comic Convention could have been even higher with fans at the two-day event forking out £85 for an autograph and £25 to hear him talk to an audience along with £75 for a selfie.
The following year some fans complained at the high prices being charged by former Doctor Who star Peter Capaldi at London Comic-Con, with £75 for an autograph and £65 for a photograph with the star.
Talent manager Jonathan Shalit said: “Comic-Con has really made fan events massive around the world.
“People involved can sit at a table and make a lot of money—in excess of £10,000 in a day.”
