We know that big-time actors are paid top bucks to appear in movies and the team from Genuine Impact was curious who was the highest paid actor for a single production so they collated all the data and created this simple chart to summarize the top ten actors who were paid the highest, which included both salary and box office royalties.
Topping the list is Keanu Reeves who was paid $156 million for The Matrix franchise. Tied for second were Bruce Willis for The Sixth Sense, Tom Cruise for three different movies, and Will Smith for Men in Black 3, who all received $100 million. Perhaps, it is worthy to note that the only actress on the list is Sandra Bullock who received $70 million for her role in Gravity. -via Digg
