Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Robert De Niro Earn $13 Million Each For Casino Commercial: A-Listers Star In World’s Most Expensive Corporate Video

It's no secret that big names can often draw in particularly big paydays. However, a new promotional ad believed to star Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Robert Di Niro has scored the actors quite the check.

Each A-lister is allegedly earning $13 million for the 2-day casino film shoot.

And the ad has pulled in a rather impressive team of behind-the-scenes talent as well.

The short film is reportedly being directed by Academy Award-winning director Martin Scorsese and produced by top Hollywood bigwig Brett Ratner. The project was reportedly written by the creator of "Boardwalk Empire," Terence Winter and will serve as a promotional piece for a new entertainment resort in Macau named Studio City, which is the business venture of moguls Lawrence Ho and James Packer, who has recently been in the news for a suspected romance with Miranda Kerr.   

Macau is the only place in China that allows gambling and the luxurious new resort will not only provide the shimmering region with another casino but also bring the film industry to town.

Macau Studio City will reportedly include cinematically-themed entertainment, retail, and gaming. Melco Crown Entertainment, the company behind the casino, has announced that the resort will include a multi-purpose entertainment studio in addition to a five-star hotel, shopping mall, and premium casino.

And the company sure has money to spend.  

According to Perezhilton.com, the DiCaprio, Pitt, and De Niro are all receiving a $13 million payday from the two-day shoot. While that scoop is unconfirmed, the possibility certainly exists considering that Macau is now considered the most profitable gambling destination in the world.

The Independent reports that Pitt ended his honeymoon with Angelina Jolie early in order to film scenes for the ad in New York with Robert De Niro. The pair was photographed wearing "sharp suits" on set.

So when will the public be granted the privilege of viewing this extravagant commercial? Perhaps soon as the resort is rumored to open in 2015.
