Not long ago, we posted something about the highest paid actresses of Hollywood<\/a>. Now if it were me instead of you, I would be wondering \u201cif this is what the actresses earn, how much would the actors get for their movies?\u201d Well now you don\u2019t have to wait for that any longer, as we present to you the list of the top 5 highest paid actors of the World.<\/p>\n

By now we all have established that actors of TV and movie screens are compensated good for their work, but how much that we don\u2019t know. The top 10 consist of 6 Americans and 3 \u2013 Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, and Akshay Kumar \u2013 all work in Bollywood. But let\u2019s check the top 5 highest paid actors of the World.<\/p>\n

Adam Sandler<\/h3>\n

\"Highest

Money Earned: <\/strong>$41 million<\/p>\n

Upcoming Films: <\/strong>Hotel Transylvania 2<\/em>, The Ridiculous 6, The Do Over<\/em><\/p>\n

Pixel may have bit of bomb this summer, but there is no doubt that people still want to see Sandler, his $41 million puts him on the 5th<\/sup> position.<\/p>\n

Bradley Cooper<\/h3>\n

\"Highest

Money Earned: <\/strong>$41.5 million<\/p>\n

Upcoming Films: <\/strong>Burnt<\/em>, Aloha<\/em> (just released)<\/p>\n

Bradley started off 2015 by American Sniper<\/em> directed by Clint Eastwood which attracted audiences to theaters, the kind of ones which are lethargic and think of theaters as a waste of money.<\/p>\n

Vin Diesel<\/h3>\n

\"Highest

Money Earned: <\/strong>$47 million<\/p>\n

Highest-Grossing Film: <\/strong>Furious 7 <\/em>$1.5 billion<\/p>\n

Upcoming Films: <\/strong>The Last Witch Hunter<\/em>, Billy Lynn\u2019s Long Halftime Walk<\/em><\/p>\n

When your movie earns a massive $1.5 billion at the box office and is in the top five grossing pictures of all time, there is no stopping you from being in the highest paid actors list.<\/p>\n

Jackie Chan<\/h3>\n

\"Highest

Money Earned: <\/strong>$50 million<\/p>\n

Upcoming Films: <\/strong>Kung Fu Panda 3<\/em><\/p>\n

If you had not already guessed it, Jackie Chan was the mystery character in the list of highest paid actors. Although he is not getting many Hollywood movies but Dragon Blade of his native country did well and earned him $50 million and also the 2nd<\/sup> spot.<\/p>\n

Robert Downey Jr.<\/h3>\n

\"Highest

Money Earned: <\/strong>$80 million<\/p>\n

Upcoming Films: <\/strong>Captain America: Civil War<\/em><\/p>\n

Robert Downey Jr. has proved himself to be one of the most respected actors of Hollywood. Topping the list for the third consecutive year, and by a wide margin. Not only did he get paid handsomely for his roles in Avengers: Age of Ultron<\/em> and the upcoming Captain America: Civil War<\/em> but he also earned a large chunk of change off the backend for Ultron.<\/em><\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now if I am not wrong, only one of the lady \u2013 Jennifer Lawrence \u2013 of Hollywood made it into the figures of Men. Now I don\u2019t know what\u2019s up with that but all I have to say is that these ladies have got to upgrade their paygrade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
