How Much Is Matthew McConaughey Making As A Teacher In Texas?

Matthew McConaughey is an award-winning actor and a well-known lover of the Lone Star state. He has been a guest instructor at UT Austin since 2015 but earlier this year, they made him an official, full-time staff member. He will be teaching his "Script to Screen" film class, which will look at his films "The Gentlemen" and "Mud." McConaughey was also named the Minister of Cultural Affairs at UT Austin.
