One Hollywood star was paid just £235 for his role in a comedy movie that grossed almost £60million. Plenty of misunderstandings ensue, with members of the tribe erupting into in-fighting to get their hands on the blessed object. But despite his central role in the film, ǂToma earned a mere pittance for his role – not even £300. The Namibia-born star was a member of the !Kung people before his tragic death, known as a Bushman – an Indigenous hunter-gatherer.
