Baim Alkatiri or better known by his stage name Baim Cilik, is one of the child actors who once graced the Indonesian television screen. His name skyrocketed after starring in the soap opera Tarzan Cilik with Raffi Ahmad and the late Olga Syahputra.
Thanks to his achievements, Baim once recorded himself as the highest-paid child artist of his time. He even earned a gross income of up to Rp 32.4 billion from various soap operas he starred in.
The amount is inseparable from the payment he receives per episode. Baim started his career with a payment of Rp 1 million per episode, until it reached Rp 15 million per episode when his soap opera aired stripping.
"My first payment was 1 million per episode, it continued to increase until I became the child artist with the highest payment, I used to get almost Rp. 15 (million) per episode, stripping," said Baim in an interview on the YouTube channel with Deryansha Azhary.
However, the glamorous life he once felt is now in stark contrast to the reality of his life today. Baim chose to leave the entertainment world and live a simple life in Malang.
The former child actor has now changed direction to become a goat seller. Baim's decision to pursue this new profession was taken after he no longer received a living from his father.
Now, he lives with his mother, brother, and sister in Malang. Although he once lived in luxury , Baim's current residence is far from luxurious.
Here is a portrait of the residence, summarized by brilio.net from the SCTV YouTube channel, Tuesday (10/9).
