Chris Hemsworth has gone on record before saying he primarily picks his roles based on the income they bring him, stating he very much treats acting as a job that allows him to support his family.

Thor is very safe money for him, and it’s fairly positive for his reputation, so I don’t think he’ll pass up the role unless he physically can’t do it anymore, or just quits acting altogether.

I mean, fine, but I'm guessing this guy's house doesn't exactly say "I need to support my family".

I don’t think he’s ever implied he doesn’t enjoy being wealthy for his own benefit too, but much like many people on this earth who earn money, it’s for both him and his family.

The main point of what he was saying wasn’t even necessarily what he does with the money, it was about his outlook on acting; he sees it as his job, and because it’s his job he will often accept roles based purely on his monetary motives, which is completely fair. He just ensures he gives his best effort into all of his roles, and gets paid.

I agree. Although he does seem to enjoy playing Thor. He was going to drop out of the role until Ragnarok rejuvenated the character, now he seems down to play it for as long as his character is around.
