we’re taking home cold hard cash via
commission month of gir right that’s
incredible sir can’t tell you how
excited I am
we can only begin to imagine what it’s
like for these stars as they sit in
their Hollywood mansions eat caviar and
sip chateau margaux while laughing at us
commoners I would do it in all black and
gold and I would do this bar like a big
warm golden mirror oh thank you you
expect nothing of a she’s so beautiful
what welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’re counting down our picks for the
top ten actors who command big salaries
first day on the job you hit a three
million dollar seizure wait he said four
ah taxation without representation
brother nothing’s free in this world
you’re lucky first day mother for this
list we’re looking at those actors and
actresses that are paid massive sums of
money for their work on screen both
through their base salary and their
power to command a portion of the box
office in take a little carried away the
money I got a little help a little
greedy
we’re only including film actors though
so Jim Parsons enormous sum of 1 million
dollars per episode for the Big Bang
Theory will not be included once again
you’ve fallen for one of my classic
pranks bazinga number 10 Dwayne Johnson
what The Rock is cookin Dwayne Johnson
is sure come a long way from his flattop
Sunglass wearing days as pro wrestler
with rock since these days he’s more
likely to be starring in the third
highest-grossing film of all time and
numerous other blockbusters Johnson
earns a big paycheck to go with his big
muscles making between 10 and 12 million
dollars for Hercules alone and averaging
roughly 13 to 15 million dollars per
movie that he stars in which is what he
made for the summer of 2015 San Andreas
I’m gonna get our daughter I promise
do you smell what The Rock is cooking it
could be anything with that kind of
money number nine
Bradley Cooper don’t listen to this man
let’s think this thing through
finish him he’s the Hollywood star that
surprised everyone and yet deep down we
all still remember him as the asshole
fiance from wedding crashers big tree
fall hard
right how many fingers Oh get up come on
Pepe how many fingers I got oh come on I
got fourth I go just fine
since then he has started the enormous
ly popular The Hangover series in which
he made 15 million dollars against
back-end for the final installment okay
all right
he also successfully tried his hand at
drama earning several Academy Award
nominations and securing a steadily
rising paycheck which currently rests at
around 10 million dollars per movie it’s
only a matter of time before he cements
himself a permanent spot on the a-list
and makes even bigger box is their
speaker here is it speaker here sorry
I’m sorry I’m sorry okay number eight
Sandra Bullock
one of Hollywood’s leading ladies in
terms of both star power and wealth
Sandra Bullock is arguably bigger now
than she’s ever been
oh why are you a mom don’t look at me
thanks to a successful comedic turn in
the heat and her oscar-nominated role in
gravity speaking of which
Bullock along with her base salary of 10
to 20 million dollars per movie has
enough sway in Hollywood to demand a
portion of the box-office intake
therefore by earning a percentage of
what gravity grossed Bullock walked away
with a minimum seventy million dollar
payday for that movie make it down there
in one piece and I have one hell of a
story to tell
well I blown up in the next ten minutes
number seven Tom Hanks excuse up I can’t
shake somebody get a doctor winning two
Academy Awards and being nominated for
three more brings prestige in Hollywood
and with prestige comes a fat wallet
Tom Hanks’s is really fat as he is one
of the few actors working today to
demand 20 million dollars or more for a
movie depending on the budget the tank
must reserve p-51
shoulders also like Bullock he’s been
known to take home a percentage of the
movies gross leading to a seventy
million dollar payday for Forrest Gump
20 years ago not adjusting for inflation
boy I’ve heard some whoppers in my time
but that tops them all
we were sitting next to me in there as
you can imagine his fame and salary have
only increased since and someday if
we’re lucky Andy may have kids of his
own
and he’ll play with us then right we’ll
always be there for number six Denzel
Washington
you think football is still fun uh yes
sir yes
no no certain uh what it was fun not
anymore though is it good old Denzel
Washington he’s the one man Studios can
always go to to secure a good
performance the girls don’t y’all
cause the only his family I got well
that’s alright and if they want to piss
their money away
Denzel has been reported to be one of
the most overpaid actors in Hollywood at
least according to his box office
grosses relative to his income which is
in the vicinity of 40 million dollars a
year you think I’m crazy right I am I
don’t know what to think yeah yeah good
he certainly hasn’t been in much lately
safe for his amazing performances in
flight and the equalizer so we can only
imagine how much he makes for one movie
number five Jennifer Lawrence you think
that I’m crazier than you
more different I mean oh my god
oh just like her Hollywood buddy Bradley
Cooper j-law has taken the acting world
by storm in recent years I volunteer as
tribute I believe we have a volunteer
she was paid a measly five hundred
thousand dollars for the first Hunger
Games but that amounts skyrocketed to
ten million for its sequel when she
quickly became famous ambulette cousin
Jane after receiving several Academy
Award nominations and starring in many
successful films she will now make the
a-list twenty million dollars for her
role in the upcoming passengers she was
probably ecstatic to receive a five
hundred thousand dollar payday only
three short years ago no she’d consider
that pocket change I don’t like change
number four Tom Cruise and after Top Gun
and Color of Money my life still had a
huge void because I realized that I had
accomplished what I had accomplished
just on sheer determinism just forget
about his goofy former infatuation with
Katie Holmes and his Scientology
believes for a second the truth is the
man is a megastar and every time a new
Mission Impossible movie comes out Tom
Cruise can basically buy his own country
with the incoherence
in addition to starring in them he also
produces them and optioned the rights
for the original meaning he takes in
about 70 million dollars per movie
released sorry I doubted you dear boy
you are a good sport thanks max to date
he’s made almost 300 million dollars on
those movies alone and that’s not
counting the 20 million dollars he earns
from any other non Mission Impossible
films that he stars in mr. walk in the
park is SP number 3 Leonardo DiCaprio
love’s light wings did I approach these
walls for stony limits cannot hold love
how he would love to do that dares love
attempt the Internet’s favorite movie
star Leo has certainly been around in
his films portraying a classic
Shakespearean actor a racist plantation
owner and even the eccentric Howard
Hughes among many others come in with
the milk he did come in with the Mel
begin come in with the milk eat and then
with the milk from in the GL come in
with the milk came in with the milk and
then with the milk come in with yet
still no Oscar it was promised me that
jewels are fine that you won’t give up
no matter what happens DiCaprio has been
receiving the a-list amount of twenty
million dollars for a long while now
mostly due to starring and what was the
highest-grossing film of all time until
2010 I’ve been a rich man and I have
been a poor man and I choose rich every
fucking time he even surpassed that
amount later on making twenty five
million dollars for his turn in the wolf
of Wall Street that quaaludes scene
alone was worth the extra money though I
can’t understand you hmm guessing Jordan
just get home hurry Oh
number two Johnny Depp we can’t stop
here this is bat country sometimes all
it takes is one movie to elevate your
career from good to great
such was the case with Johnny Depp when
he struck gold with the Pirates of the
Caribbean franchise well well Jack
Sparrow isn’t it
Captain Jack Sparrow duties after the
resounding success of the first three
movies Depp earned a reported quite
unheard-of 55 million dollars for on
Stranger Tides
plus you guessed it a percentage of the
profits you know you at the end of the
day Depp took home almost 60 million
dollars for that movie alone and is now
earning the a-list fee of twenty million
dollars per movie so if I goes you to
the thought drain
I would intend to see my family again
yeah consider that a bonus before we
feel even poorer from our top pick here
are a few honorable mentions
not now no I ever yeah
this ain’t gonna be easy not as easy as
it used to be well would be fruitless

many we were younger I still am young we
