Henry Cavill enjoys lavish lifestyle
By Tribute on March 12, 2016 | 5 Comments
Henry Cavill will soon fly into theaters as Superman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but for now the actor is being candid about his super salary.
For his cover story on Man of the World‘s latest issue, he discusses his acting and the extravagant perks that come with stardom.
“I’m slightly wary of saying this because it can be frowned upon, certainly by members of my community and people outside my community … but I’m not just doing this for the art. The money’s fantastic and that’s something which I deem — and again, it is frowned upon — very important.” He added, “People will be calling me a c**k as they’re reading this, but travel’s great as long as you’re going first class.”
The 32-year-old actor was quick to clarify that he isn’t entirely self-indulgent with his earnings. By portraying characters like Clark Kent, he’s able to spread the wealth.
Handsome Henry says his top dollar goes towards “lavish holidays” for himself and his friends. Apparently, superheroes enjoy company.
He adds, “Spending money on my friends, buying dinner for everyone, drinks for everyone, it’s a nice place to be, and I like people to feel cared for.”
It’s not just people he wants cared for, either.
Henry is a spokesperson for the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, which seeks to save species on the brink of extinction.
He can be seen here in a viral video that officially kick-started a charity contest with proceeds going towards the Durrell Wildlife Park. The video also served as a cute and clever promotional tool for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, with Henry chatting to children about their superhero preferences.
In 2014, Henry also launched the Cavill Conservation to help generate money for the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust.
Henry has been vocal about his view on money before. In 2012, GQ quoted him as saying, among other things, “God, all those people who say, ‘Oh no, the money doesn’t matter.’ Yeah, right. They’re either mad, or they’re lying. I mean, come on. ‘Oh no, don’t pay me anything, it’s for the arts.’ I’m sorry, no. Pay me the money. I’m not doing it for charity. I’m not a non-profit organization.”
Charity or not, Henry can expect a colossal cash flow when he faces off against Ben Affleck in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which hits theaters on March 25, 2016.

every time this sugar daddy opens his mouth creates troubles for his career! he’s so pathetic. he wants to justify this sort of relashionship??? that’s gross. many compliments to the WARNER BROS and to the people who have chosen him for Superman. this is a really PR DISASTER! when he will be bald (very soon) his fantastic and mature girlfriend will dump him! and will sell a tell all interview to her friend ,like the 1st one at the rugby macht! WAKE UP CAVILL you’re so ridicolous!!!!!!!!!!
he should take some acting lessons instead ! and phosphorus for his damaged brain! he has a lot of money to spend as told in an interview…………….. such a pathetic, sugar daddy!what about his oompa lumpa girlfriend? why is not with him in this world tour premiere, so that she can enjoy all his money? nobody believes she’s still studying… she already won the lottery with foolish Henry….
..and when the money ends up Henry? i don’t think many directors would work with you , not such a great actor to tell the truth! plus, his oompa lumpa teen age girlfriend will dump him once he has no money and she’ll find a rich Arab man ……… he must shut up! pathetic sugar daddy….
he’s getting worse and worse day after day . great PR job anyway……. It makes me wonder why his family or his PR people or the studio don’t step in…
FAME CAN BE FLEETING man… Watch out man….
pls Henry buy your gf more clothes because the black top she wore in china was loaned by her friend connie milford… but we all know ,she won the lottery, and will have all his money very soon…. PR and WARNER BROS are nor sleeping, they are in a COMA…..
people are “disrespectful ” towards his teenage gf? what about you first, Henry?! she WAS NOT good enough for the red carpet at the Oscars but only for the late Vanity party after Oscar, ????????!!!!!! who’s trying to persuade…. maybe himself………….
you did not buy her any jewels and the dress was not that great . i suppose no great stylist wanted to make her a dress….. wonder why… who is really ” disrespectful”????????????? such a Dork!
As expected from Cavill’s honesty… he did mention he knew you people like those with the above negative comments would react just like that. You jealous guys are so predictable.
What exactly is wrong with enjoying money he earned. He did work for it. He was chosen for the role. I consider him brave for not saying the politically correct thing for the sake of PR/reputation. Just an honest man’s comment on the truth.
Correction, so there was just one comment from a single person who may be a lady. My mistake, redact comment about “you guys”
