Top 10 Richest Actors 2008 Forbes Magazine (1-5)

Welcome to the 2008 Top 10 Richest Actors List

Top 10 Richest Actors - Number 1
#1 Will Smith
Will Smith had eight straight movies eclipse $100 million at the box office. You know - with those kind of numbers it is understandable that he made an estimated $80 million dollars. That works out to about 40,000 an hour. How many hours you would have to work if you only made $15 an hour? It would only take you 2,666 years to make that much money. I am pretty sure he gets a lot of free drinks when he goes out too.

Top 10 Richest Actors - Number 2
#2 Johnny Depp
Tough life – good looking and rich. He made $72 million dollars. The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise has made 2.76 billion…so $72 million dollars, well, that is chump change. Johnny could buy 1.44 billion five cent candies with that money. Just think of how many cavities he could provide to children all over the world?

Top 10 Richest Actors - Number 3 - Tie
Eddie Murphy
55 Million dollars. Damn that is a big pile of money too. Can you imagine if it was delivered to you every year in cash, how much room that would take up? According to the US treasury – that would be a bout 1210 pounds of hundred dollar bills.

Mike Myers
This former office supervisor for an insurance company is tied for third place with Eddie Murphy also made $55 million. Yes $55 Million; or another way of looking at it is 550,000 One hundred dollar bills. If Mike gave away a hundred dollar bill every minute that he was awake, for an entire year - at the end of the year you would still have 199,600 hundred dollar bills left over or 19.96 million.

Top 10 Richest Actors - Number 5
