Paris Movie Queen Said to Get $200,000 Salary

The St. Louis Star and Times, July 15, 1922

Musidora was reportedly making $200,000 a year at the height of her career in the early 1920s. Which was likely the impetus for her venturing into directing and film-making. In an interview in late 1921 she admitted to having no money having splurged her entire salary on things she liked: luggage, suits, furs, flowers and suitcases, among other things. One thing which she didn't splurge on was jewelry, claiming that she was very bourgeois.
