Will Smith Makes Bank
Posted on 23 July 2008 by brian
No surprise here… Forbes has named Will Smith last year’s top moneymaker, earning a reported $80M. And now that the critically panned Hancock made cash don’t expect Smith to relinquish his crown any time soon.
Johnny Depp landed at #2, raking in $72M with the help of those Pirate movies. Tying at third, Eddie Murphy and Mike Myers each made $55M, despite their box office disasters Meet Dave and The Love Guru, respectively.
On the female list, Cameron Diaz easily topped it, depositing a whopping $50M in her checking account, on the strength of Shrek and What Happens In Vegas. Keira Knightley was a shocking #2, earning $32M last year. And Jennifer Aniston pulled in $27M.
Forbes notes that, once the gold dust settles, men still make twice as much as women in Hollywood. Sorry Drew Barrymore!
