Welcome to the 2009 Top 10 Richest Actors List

Top 10 Richest Actors 2009 - Number 1

#1 Harrison Ford
Grampa only made one movie last year, "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." The movie itself made $786 million and he walked with $65 million. I sure hope this makes his retirement a little more tolerable. Everybody wishes they could have a gold plated walker or a platinum set of lawn bowling balls.

Top 10 Richest Actors - Number 2
#2 Adam Sandler
Only made a mere $55 million with his movies, "You Don't Mess with The Zohan," "Bedtime Stories" and "Funny People." He could buy around 300 foreclosed homes in Vegas or buy food for around 150,000 starving children in Africa for a whole year. Or just save it for when he is too old to be funny any more.

Top 10 Richest Actors - Number 3
#3 Will Smith
Will Smith dropped down two rankings from last year’s list, he came in third with 50 million by making "Hancock" and "Seven Pounds." Even a third place gives you $50 million dollars. If only my mother had sent me to acting classes – she would be cashing in on my talent. Woulda, coulda, shoulda….


Top 10 Richest Actors - Number 4-Tie
#4 Eddie Murphy
Eddie Murphy came in fourth with $40 million with his movie, "Meet Dave." That is like winning the lottery forty times in a year. Damn that is a totally respectable chunk of change.

Top 10 Richest Actors - Number 4-Tie
#4 Nicolas Cage
He is still one of the most hard-working actors in Hollywood, but obviously not hard working enough…he is tied for fourth place with Eddy at $40 million. Maybe he will do better next year with the six movies that will be shortly released with him being Johnny Hollywood Star Guy.
