Posted by: lukwago J in Life style September 19, 2016

Leonardo Dicaprio

$27 million
The fervent environmentalist finally won an Oscar for The Revenant, 22 years after he was first nominated for What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. He was also nominated for 2014’s Wolf of Wall Street, which was recently named by the Department of Justice in a money-laundering scandal over its Malaysian financiers, Red Granite.

Salman Khan

$28.5 million
One of Bollywood’s leading men, Khan makes top rupee from movies such as Bajrangi Bhaijaan and numerous endorsements. In May 2015 he was sentenced to five years in prison for a 2002 hit-and-run car incident which killed a homeless man; his sentence was suspended.

Mark Wahlberg

$30 million
Ted 2 did not perform as well at the box office as expected, grossing just $217 million. No matter: Wahlberg banked big bucks for Daddy’s Home and leads Deepwater Horizon, a dramatization of the 2010 BP oil spill.

Adam Sandler

$30 million
The forthcoming Sandy Wexler will be the third of four movies in Sandler’s production deal with Netflix. In 2014, he signed an agreement worth an estimated $240 million that circumvents costly theatrical releases and distributes Sandler’s comedies directly to his target audiences—home video couch potatoes.

Brad Pitt

$31.5 million
Pitt produced and acted in The Big Short, which won an Oscar and grossed over $133.3 million at the worldwide box office. He also did double-duty for the upcoming War Machine, which Netflix reportedly paid $60 million to acquire. This is the first year since 2007 that the 57-year-old’s earnings surpassed $30 million.

Akshay Kumar

$31.5 million
One of Bollywood’s busiest leading men, Kumar banked top rupee for three hit films in our scoring period. The action star bolsters his earnings endorsing a wider range of products than most Hollywood shills: Honda motorcycles, a dairy producer and a gold loan company, among others.
