Forbes’ annual list of the highest-paid actors highlights the fortunes of the biggest stars of film and television. The list, in addition to arousing the public’s curiosity regarding the artists’ earnings, also shows the success of some productions such as Barbie and Oppenheimer.
Check out the Forbes list
Adam Sandler
It’s no news that Adam Sandler is one of the biggest actors today. This is because he was part of the cast of several well-known films. Therefore, the artist leads the list with revenues of $73 million. Most of these earnings, in fact, come from Netflix, where the star has one of the most lucrative contracts.
Margot Robbie
After the great success of Barbie, Margot Robbie is just below Adam Sandler on the Forbes list. In addition to acting, the actress also has a film production company, which she participated in the production of Barbie. As a result, Margot reported $59 million in revenue last year.
Tom Cruise
Just like Margot Robbie, Tom Cruise’s income goes beyond his acting salary. That’s because the star’s contracts allow for participation in box office profits. Thus, Cruise reported revenue of $45 million in 2023.
Ryan Gosling
In 2023, Ryan Gosling earned $43 million and a Best Supporting Actor nomination at the Oscars. In fact, Ken’s role in the film Barbie gave the star one of his biggest payouts.
Matt Damon
With her role as Leslie Groves in Oppenheimer, Matt Damon received a compensation of 4 million dollars. Furthermore, the star also received a small share of the proceeds from the film, which was a success. And it doesn’t end there: Matt sold his production company’s first project, the film air, for PrimeVideo. In this way the artist earned 43 million dollars.
Jennifer Aniston

Jason Statham
In 2023, Jason has starred in major films such as Fast and Furious 10, Megashark 2, The Expendables 4 and Risky Scheme: Operation Fortune.
