How much money Benedict Cumberbatch made by posing for photos with fans?

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.”
