How much did Anthony Ramos make in Hamilton?
Ramos was one of the original cast members when Hamilton opened in 2015. He starred in the Broadway musical for almost two years from January 2015 to November 2016. While it’s unclear what Ramos’ exact Hamilton salary was, there is some information on the minimum he would’ve made as John Laurens, a soldier during the American Revolutionary War, and Philip Hamilton, the eldest child of Alexander Hamilton.
According to The New York Times, Broadway actors make a union-mandated minimum of $1,900 a week, which would amount to $116,300 a year. That weekly number goes up by $500 if a show is nominated for a Tony (like Hamilton was.) That number goes up another $1,000 if a show wins a Tony (like Hamilton did in 2016), which means that each Hamilton cast member (including Ramos) made at least $3,400 a week or $130,300 a year.
Of course, that’s just Ramos’ actor’s salary. Bloomberg reported in 2016 that 22 original cast members from Hamilton also unionized to receive 1 percent of the net profits from the New York show and 0.33 percent from the profits of Hamilton Chicago and other U.S. shows. Given that Hamilton made an average of $1,500,000 million per week in its first year, this would pay the actors $18,400 from New York alone.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, In the Heights, which is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, cost $55 million to make. Unfortunately, it isn’t known how much Ramos made from the movie, but in his interview with THR, he talked about his humble beginnings growing up in Bushwick, Brooklyn, with his mother. “She was making $30,000 a year before taxes, so that was barely 10 Gs a kid,” he said. “Contesting with poverty and always seeing her stressed was hard, and there were drugs and alcohol in my family — that was hard to deal with as well. I just didn’t want to be in that situation anymore.”
He also recalled falling in love with music by buying bootleg CDs as a kid for $5 each. “I feel bad for not paying for an album at the regular price as a kid, but anywhere between $12 and $20 was a lot of money. Five dollars I could get,” he said. “And this dude always had good bootlegs. You knew that he was going to have all the songs, none of them were going to skip, you were legit going to get your money’s worth.”
