Their earnings can only envy.
After a General list of the highest paid celebrities in the world, led by the musicians (Taylor swift and One Direction) and writers (James Patterson), Forbes magazine, and got to the actors. As in previous years, this rating clearly shows that men in the movie earn more than women: total earnings of the ten highest paid actors made $450 million — twice more than the ten Actresses ($205 million). Best this year was Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson.
Dwayne Johnson — $64.5 million
The previous three years with a large income — according to Forbes — was Robert Downey Jr., who plays Iron man in the Marvel kinokomedii. But the second “the Avengers” was a year ago, new solo movies about this superhero is not yet planned, and now he’s in eighth place ($33 million), and Forbes new leader — Dwayne Johnson, nicknamed the Rock. Former wrestler fit the film, but this tops him have never won. Over the past year (from June 2015 to may 2016) Johnson earned $64.5 million, in which, apparently, includes the payment for the unexpected smash-hit disaster film “the break man.” (fees $474 million) and a fee for future feature-length remake of “Baywatch”, in which he will play a major role
Jackie Chan — $61 million
The hero fighters about masters of kung fu is now more focused on the Chinese film market and the Chinese authorities, apparently very pleased with his work. And Chan is a real workaholic, last year released his film “On the trail” and “monkey King”, he again voiced one of the characters in the cartoon “Kung fu Panda 3, and a few projects he does as an actor and as a producer — in General, $61млн and second place in Forbes rating earned honestly. Like a year ago
Matt Damon — $55 million
Matt Damon for his starring role in “the Martian” by Ridley Scott not only received a variety of prestigious awards (including a Golden globe and nomination for an Oscar), but, apparently, contributions from the successful rental. However, well that was from the film about growing potatoes on Mars, a lonely astronaut amounted to $630 million From the “Jason Bourne”, the fifth film in a series of paintings about the super-agent of the CIA, probably this will not work, although the fee Damon worked for, and eventually received for the year of $55 million
Tom cruise — $53 million.
For Tom cruise this year has been a good — released last summer, “Mission: impossible rogue nation”, the fifth part of the adventures of agent Ethan hunt, where the actor and the lead actor was one of the producers that earned rent of $682 million and besides, he got a fee for another insurgent — the sequel to “Jack Reacher,” and in the end, Cruz could become the fourth in the Forbes with $53 million
Johnny Depp — $48 million
Released this year the movie “Alice in Wonderland” failed at the box office — unlike the extremely successful “Alice in Wonderland” in 2010. But the fee of johnny Depp, who played in these pictures the Mad Hatter, a failure hardly affected — although the repetition of a billionth of revenue, his position in the Forbes ranking probably would have been higher. To get still in the top 5 actor helped the next blockbuster — “pirates of the Caribbean: Dead men tell no tales” will be released in may 2017, but film shooting is already completed and Depp’s salary already received. But the expenses — for example, a divorce with amber heard — in this list are not considered
Jennifer Lawrence — $46 million
The Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence is the main income comes not from the chamber of independent films which brought her awards and blockbusters. Last year she was also in first place ($52 million) is due to the fees for the final part of “the hunger games” and “X-Men: Apocalypse”. This year it earned a little less than $46 million, much of which was brought back to “the Hunger games” (deductions from charges of “mockingjay. Part 2”, the proceeds of which amounted to $653,4 million) and an additional fee for participation in the film “Passengers”. This fantastic film tells the story of two passengers of the ark that flies to a distant colony; due to a malfunction of the equipment they have woken up 90 years ahead of schedule. Partner Lawrence in this 120-million picture would be Chris Pratt, but for her part, according to The Hollywood Reporter, paid $20 million To hire “Passengers” will be released in December this year
Melissa McCarthy — $33 million
It has the characteristic figure of the 45-year-old Melissa McCarthy imperceptibly, in a few years, became a major Hollywood comic-woman. “Bridesmaids”, “Cops in skirts”, “Spy”, and as a result, in 2015, Forbes put her at third place in its list of highest paid Actresses. McCarthy then earnings amounted to $23 million, now, a year later, they added another $10 million — and this is a record growth rate among the Actresses. She had received the money mainly for the part in “Ghostbusters” — this remake of the cult film by Ivan in new York with the replacement of male characters to female (and Vice versa), however, failed at the box office, but on the fees of the participating actors, this failure had no effect. A little more in the piggy Bank and added McCarthy Comedy “the Big Boss”, but she certainly got a lot less than “Hunters” budget “Boss” was only $29 million
Scarlett Johansson — $25 million.
The actress for several years, is listed by Forbes magazine through participation in kinokomedii Marvel. A year ago, for example, Johansson was second with $35.5 million — then came “the Avengers: age of Ultron”, which grossed worldwide at $1.4 billion During this reporting period, the actress has appeared in not so successful marvel film “the First avenger: the Confrontation” (fees — $1.15 billion) and eventually lost second place to Melissa McCarthy. But since the Marvel cinematic universe continues to expand, it is unlikely Johansson will leave the Forbes rating in the coming years. And in between she will participate in a more intimate projects like “hail, Caesar” Coen brothers
Jennifer aniston — $21 million
Jennifer aniston still pose like the star of the TV series “Friends”, although it closed 12 years ago. It is, of course, is a popular actress, and part of the money that allowed her to take fourth place in the ranking of Forbes, she earned on film projects (for example, through royalties for the Comedy “new year party” which will be released in December this year). But basically, her income associated with participation in advertising projects — so, the last time aniston has appeared in commercials for Emirates Airlines
Fan Bingbing — $17 million
Chinese fan Bingbing — one of the two representatives of film industries outside of Hollywood top 10 Forbes list; the second was bollywood actress Deepika Padukon, which is $10 million and took 10th place. Fan Bingbing is not shy and American blockbusters — she starred in kinokomedii “X-Men: Days of future past” and “Iron man 3”. But this time, her income consists solely of royalties for Chinese movies that have decent budgets that get very good revenue in the rental of China, for example, in fantasy Thriller “the League of gods” or in the Comedy Thriller “On the trail”, where her partner was Jackie Chan. Last year, by the way, the Chinese actress was fourth with $21 million
