Tom Cruise is still Hollywood’s best paid star

His career resurgence followed negative publicity several years ago due to a
couch-jumping episode on Oprah Winfrey’s talk show and some rambling
thoughts on Scientology in media interviews and in a YouTube video.

Last year’s top earner DiCaprio, 37, tied for second place on the list with
funnyman Adam Sandler, 45, both with $37 million.

DiCaprio’s earnings dropped after his 2010 “Inception,” grossed $825
million at the global box office while his last film, “J. Edgar”
disappointed at the box office. Sandler’s income included his paycheck from
2011 film “Jack and Jill.”

Former professional wrestler Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, 40, came in
fourth, earning $36 million including from his film “Fast Five”
that took in $626 million worldwide, and at number five was comedian Ben
Stiller with $33 million, whose next film “The Watch” about a
group of Neighborhood Watch dads, is due for release in July.

In compiling the list, Forbes considers factors including upfront pay, profit
participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.
