Alex Honnold’s exact paycheck for climbing Taipei 101 on Netflix’s “Skyscraper Live” has not been publicly disclosed, but multiple reports say it is in the mid–six-figure range (roughly “hundreds of thousands” of dollars), not millions.

What he’s said about the money

  • Honnold has called the amount an “embarrassing” sum when compared to big mainstream sports contracts.
  • He’s emphasized that he’s “getting paid for the spectacle,” and that he would climb the building for free if there were no TV show and he just had permission to do it.

Reported estimates

  • Two people familiar with the deal told The New York Times that his payment is in the mid–six figures.
  • Other coverage and commentary echo this, describing it as a six-figure or mid–six-figure payout rather than anything close to 10 million dollars.
