Film Actor 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 Film Actors - Number 2#2
Film Actor Johnny DeppTough 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?

Film Actor TieEddie Murphy55 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.
Top 10 Richest Film Actor - Number 4
Film Actor TieMike MyersThis 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 Film Actor - Number 9
Film Actor Will Ferrell $31 million. This really isn’t that much money – because at $15 an hour it would take way less time to get 31 million together.

Top 10 Richest Film Actor - Number 10
Film Actor Adam Sandler Obviously he is the loser of this top ten list. With only $30 million – I mean really. One way to make this money seem like more than it is would be to get it all in quarters. It would be 3 million rolls of quarters at a stunning weight of 1.5 million pounds. That is 750 tons or the same weight as three 747 airplanes. When you need to make a phone call
Adam is the best guy to get some change from.

Johnny Depp's next movie his third according to the collaboration with Burton was the dark Sleepy Hollow (1999) in the role of Ichabod Crane, opposite Christina Ricci. Sleepy Hollow showcased Ichabod's feelings that reflected Tim Burton's battle with the Hollywood studio system. For this performance, Johnny Depp took inspiration from Angela Lansbury, Roddy McDowall and Basil Rathbone. Johnny Depp once said, "I always thought of Ichabod as a very delicate, fragile person who was maybe a little too in touch with his feminine side, like a frightened little girl."
Johnny Depp after 1999 again worked with Tim Burton in 2005 when he had his two releases the first of which was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. In this movies Johnny Depp played the character's hair on Anna Wintour. The film was a box office success and received positive critical reaction, although Gene Wilder, who played Willy Wonka in the 1971 film, initially opposed this version. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was that released in July was followed in September by Corpse Bride, for which Johnny Depp gave voice to the character Victor Van Dort.
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street in 2007 was Johnny and Tim's next release and the sixth one according to the collaboration. It won Johnny Depp his second major award, the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy as well as a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor. For this movie Johnny Depp worked very hard.
Tim Burton first gave him an original cast recording of the 1979 stage musical in 2000. Although Johnny Depp was not a fan of the genre but he grew to like the tale's musical treatment. He cited Peter Lorre in Mad Love (1935) as his main influence for the role, and practiced the songs his character would have to perform while filming Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. Though Johnny Depp had performed in musical groups, he was initially unsure that he would be able to sustain Stephen Sondheim's lyrics.
Then Depp recorded demos of himself in West Hollywood, working with Bruce Witkin to shape his vocals without a qualified voice coach. The next and the last one of Depp-Burton collaboration is the upcoming Alice in Wonderland (2010). In this movie Depp will play the Mad Hatter, alongside long time collaborator, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway and Alan Rickman.
