Forbes
The highly anticipated Forbes list of the highest-paid actors for 2023 has finally been unveiled, and it’s filled with both familiar faces and unexpected surprises.
Adam Sandler Takes the Crown
Leading the pack is none other than the hilarious comedian Adam Sandler. Thanks to his fruitful partnership with streaming giant Netflix, Sandler claimed the top spot as the highest earner last year. His comedy film “Murder Mystery 2,” in which he starred alongside Jennifer Aniston (also on the top earners list), proved to be a massive hit. Additionally, Sandler’s involvement in the coming-of-age musical comedy “Leo” and the action-packed “The Out-Laws,” both released by Netflix, contributed to his impressive earnings. He even shared the screen with his wife and daughters in the comedy “You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah.” All in all, Sandler raked in a staggering $73 million in 2023.
Margot Robbie Shines Bright
Claiming the second spot on the list is the talented Margot Robbie, renowned for her role in the summer blockbuster “Barbie.” At just 33 years old, Robbie became the youngest celebrity to make it onto the top earners list for 2023, amassing an impressive $59 million.
Tom Cruise’s Thrilling Success
Securing the third position is the legendary Tom Cruise, thanks to his action-packed film “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One.” Despite the movie falling slightly short of expectations, Cruise still enjoyed a substantial payday. Additionally, his residuals from the highly successful “Top Gun: Maverick” (2022) contributed to his estimated $45 million earnings in 2023.
Tied for Fourth Place
In a surprising twist, both Matt Damon and Ryan Gosling tied for the fourth spot, each earning an impressive $43 million. Damon’s earnings were further boosted by the sale of his first project with Artists Equity Studio, “Air,” to Amazon for a whopping $130 million. Gosling’s outstanding performance in “Barbie” also earned him critical acclaim and an Oscar nomination.
The Rest of the Top 10
Completing the top 10 highest earners for 2023 are Jennifer Aniston ($42 million), Leonardo DiCaprio ($41 million), Jason Statham ($41 million), Ben Affleck ($38 million), and Denzel Washington ($24 million).
Methodology and Previous Top Earners
Forbes emphasized that the results are estimates based on interviews and data collected from industry sources like IMDbPro. The reported figures represent taxed earnings for the entire year and solely account for income generated through entertainment projects. It’s worth noting that Tyler Perry claimed the top spot in 2022, while Dwayne Johnson held the title for three consecutive years prior, according to The Guardian.
