Top 10 Highest Paid Actors



Hollywood seems to be filled with gorgeous stars, being paid loads of money, but who really makes the most and are they worth it,

10. Denzel Washington
This sleek, action hero, good guy, reportedly brings in a cool twenty million dollars per film. He certainly deserves it, because he has many Oscar nominations and two wins to prove it.

9. Adam Sandler
This funny man has always played himself in films and the formula obviously seems to work. He manages to keep the world laughing and this down to earth actor is rewarded by being paid up to twenty million per movie.

8. Brad Pitt
He is arguably the world’s sexiest man and one half of the most photographed couple in the world. Brad Pitt rakes in twenty million a movie, though he doesn’t seem to be working as much these days. Must be because he’s got a sugar momma to help pay those bills.

7. Bruce Willis
He almost always plays a cop or everyday man in the wrong place at the wrong time and playing these parts has done well for him. Even after all these years, Bruce Willis still commands twenty million per flick and the world still isn’t tired of seeing John McClane in action.

6. Johnny Depp
The swash buckling pirate, the scary man with scissors for hands, the demon barber. Johnny Depp refuses to take ordinary, run of the mill type roles, instead choosing to take risks and try something different. Well, his choices have paid off, to the tune of over twenty million each film.

5. Will Ferrell
Funny man, Will Ferrell, spends his screen time doing physical comedy and playing the silly man we all know and love. And guess what, He loves it too. For over twenty million dollars per film I would too.

4. Mel Gibson
The intellectual man who isn’t afraid to take risks to express what he believes in. This is reflected in the movies he makes, risky and sometimes controversial, but for over twenty-five million each how could you blame him,

3. Tom Cruise
The once most famous and popular actor in Hollywood still pulls in at least twenty-five million per movie, despite some of his, shall we say, interesting personal situations and media stunts.

2. Will Smith
Once the ‘Fresh Prince’, but now the new titan of action films, Will Smith makes twenty-eight million per movie and still looks just as cool as always in the process.

1. Tom Hanks
With a reported fee of over $30 million dollars coming in for the upcoming film, ‘Angels and Demons’, which is a sequel to the critical darling, ‘The Da Vinci Code’, Mr. Hanks is consistently the highest earning, per film, actor in the world and he surely deserves it. He is probably the best actor of this generation and considered by many to be the modern day Cary Grant.
