Tinsel Town is full of leading men, but not all of them make the big bucks. This list shows who gets paid in the most in the competitive film industry. The list includes some obvious stars, like Johnny Depp, but maybe a few surprises.
The highest paid movie star made $100 million last year. While this figure may not be shocking to many, it is shocking how much more it is than Hollywood's top female star. Angelina Jolie, the top earning actress, only made $30 million last year, even when she made Blockbusters such as Salt and The Tourist.
Jolie's husband Brad Pitt did not make the top five (plus two bonus actors) list.
