In most television programs from the extremely prolific creator, producer and writer Taylor Sheridan, the money (and the power it grants) plays an important role. If we are talking about its most popular Melodrama of the Macho Dutton family “Yellowstone”, the “mayor of Kingstown”, in charge of corruption, or Sylvester Stallone “Tulsa King” vehicle, “ The dough made in a legal or illegal way is almost always a driving force of the plot and the characters. His latest success on Paramount +, “Landman” – Based on the “boomtown” podcast Hosted by Christian Wallace, who is also co -creator of the series – is no exception. In fact, it could be one of those where wages have the most.

Since being a “Landman” is a very real work – even if it is not necessarily as dangerous and hard to cook as our protagonist Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton) makes it appear – we actually have the resources to know how much this line of work pays for what we see in the series.

Data -based talented.comLandman wages fluctuate between $ 90,000 and $ 156,000, depending on the location, experience and the one used by. The average salary of a Landman is $ 130,000 per year ($ 62.50 per hour), which is much lower than Tommy implies that he obtains from his wise employer, Monty Miller (Jon Hamm), in the show. Although we cannot be sure of the exact amount, because the first season of 10 episodes never specifies the number of people from Thornton. However, the salary of workers from the Oil Roughneck Platform, Tommy, is directly discussed in episode 2, placing it at $ 180,000 annually. It’s certainly a bit exaggerated since, According to GlassdoorGross wages tend to land between $ 60 and $ 112,000 per year.

Based on this amount and the high -level management position of Tommy as a “crisis director”, we can speculate with confidence that it does much more than that.

Whatever the amount of Tommy as a Landman, it will surely compensate for harmful, treacherous and filled with stress that he leads due to its occupation. First of all, he is in debt of half a million dollars that he knows that he will probably never be able to go out while he is alive. Admittedly, he is also a functioning alcoholic who drinks beers as if it was tap water, and a chain smoker who prefers nicotine instead of fresh air. Not to mention his terrible diet and the many other toxic health choices he makes regularly. However, all of this is practically nothing compared to what he should face day after day as a “crisis director”. He is forced to face a ruthless Mexican drug cartel that distributes drugs in his fields, making death threats every week, working with the police and welding them if necessary, and sometimes to tell the women and friends of her employees that they no longer have a husband or boyfriend because of a fatal accident that occurred.

If that was not enough, it is also in a relationship of will, they are not with his ex -wife Angela (Ali Larter), an absolute force of nature – unpredictable, mad and as bloody as they come – generally making the life of Tommy more difficult than it is already. And then there are his two children, Cooper (Jacob Lofland) and Ainsley (Michelle Randolph), whom he loves to death and who would do everything, requiring advice and protection against a father who is already concerned to keep himself in life of the threats that constantly come to him.

So, whatever the actual amount, it is that Tommy does as Landman – and whether realistic or not – can hardly be a legitimate consolation or a worthy incentive for implacable problems and physically and mentally exhausting situations that he must resolve daily. But this is what makes “Landman” an exciting and very entertaining spectacle.
