Hollywood will remember last year as the year of the movie phenomenon "Barbenheimer". Since their premieres on the same day in July, the films "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" have dominated the box office, festivals and numerous articles in the media.
"Barbie" grossed $1,4 billion worldwide, and "Oppenheimer" reached just under a billion dollars. But Netflix's annual engagement report reveals something, and that's that a lot of people are spending their free time watching Adam Sandler movies.
Ahead of the Oscars this week, Forbes has released a list of the highest-paid actors.
The ten highest-paid Hollywood stars earned a combined $449 million in 2023. These are actors who work almost exclusively in major motion pictures rather than television, thanks in part to the long-running writers' and actors' strikes that shut down Hollywood for half a year and delayed or shortened numerous seasons of popular TV series.
In the long run, starring in blockbuster movies remains the golden ticket for actors in Hollywood. Unlike Netflix, which pays actors a premium up front and buys out their share of the profits over the next two years, feature films can continue to generate money indefinitely – meaning the profit-sharing actors have no limit on how much they end up making. they can earn.
Below, see the list of the ten highest paid actors for 2023.
Adam Sandler – $73 million
Margot Robbie – $59 million
Tom Cruise – $45 million
Ryan Gosling – $43 million
Matt Damon – $43 million
Jennifer Aniston – $42 million
Leonardo DiCaprio – $41 million
Jason Statham – $41 million
Ben Affleck – $38 million
Denzel Washington – $24 million
