Forbes Ranks Hollywood's Top 10 Overpaid Actors

Filed under: Wealth

Forbes loves lists, and this is a great one if you love to resent actors' huge paychecks -- the Top 10 Overpaid Actors, that is, actors who cost more than their box office worth. According to MSN, in order to qualify for the list, each actor had to have appeared in three films in the last five years that opened in at least 500 theaters. No. 1 on the list is Will Ferrell. For every $1 Ferrell earns, his movies only earn $3.29. The No. 2 spot is filled by Ewan McGregor. His ratio is $1 to $3.75. Nos. 3, 4, and 5 are Billy Bob Thornton, Eddie Murphy, and Ice Cube. Coming in at No. 6 is Tom Cruise; No. 7 is the only woman on the list, Drew Barrymore; and Nos. 8, 9, and 10 are Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L. Jackson, and Jim Carrey. Forbes explains it all here. View the official list, with photos, here.
