Robin Williams was reportedly paid $5 million for playing Teddy Roosevelt in Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, the final installation in this trilogy.

Though he appeared only a few times on screen, Williams's character was one of the series' signature presences. It was perhaps one of his last performances before his death, making it a befitting performance for the fans.
