Keanu Reeves is considered to not be motivated by money among the Hollywood circles. He usually compromises with movie studios to star in big budget movies in order to be able to make smaller, quirky films.
In 2011, he signed away $35 million from the back-end deals he had made from the Matrix sequels and gave it to the special effects and costume design teams because he felt that "they were the ones that made the movie and they should participate." He did, however make $10 million upfront for the sequels.
This wasn't the first time Reeves has done something like this. It has been reported that he took paycuts on the Devil's Advocate and The Replacements so that he could work with Al Pacino and Gene Hackman.
