DiCaprio Is Top Earner In Hollywood Rich List

Last year Johnny Depp was named the highest paid actor, it seems the tides have turned for Jack Sparrow and Leo is now the highest paid actor in Hollywood. More after the jump:




The Titanic star earned £47m last year, pushing his Pirates Of The Caribbean rival into second place with £31m.

According to Forbes, DiCaprio jumped from fifth to first on the back of Shutter Island and Inception, after the films earned a combined £736m.

In his next film, the 36-year-old will play FBI chief J Edgar Hoover and the title role in The Great Gatsby.

"What the fuck!!!Arr"

Depp continues to sell cinema tickets with his foppish portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow.
But his next role will see him take the lead in the film adaptation of Hunter S Thompson's The Rum Diary, playing a journalist in 1950s Puerto Rico.

Comic Adam Sandler, who earned £25m, was third on Forbes' list, while Will Smith and Tom Hanks were close behind, at £22m and £21m respectively.

The Top Ten Earners:

1. Leonardo DiCaprio (£47m)
2. Johnny Depp (£31m)
3. Adam Sandler (£25m)
4. Will Smith (£22m)
5. Tom Hanks (£21m)
6. Ben Stiller (£20.8m)
7. Robert Downy Jr (£19m)
8. Mark Wahlberg (£17m)
9. Tim Allen (£13m)
10. Tom Cruise (£13m)

What surprises me is that Adam Sandler is doing better than Will Smith, but then again Wil has taken a page out of the Chinese book...Kids aren't too young to make you some mula #SweatShop
