Top paid Actress

Sandler, at the other extreme, delights in making movies that critics find painfully dumb but that a certain audience loves. Take "Jack and Jill:" The 2011 film earned terrible reviews and 10 Razzie awards for how bad it was.

But  it didn't flop at the box office. The film earned $150 million on a budget of $80 million. That's not enough for Sony to earn back the movie's production budget from box office receipts, but include DVD money and TV sales, and the studio could break even on it.

To determine who the highest-paid actors in Hollywood are, we considered upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work. We talked to manager, agents, lawyers and other in-the-know folks to come up with our estimates. We did not deduct for things like agent fees or the expenses related to being a celebrity.

Mark Wahlberg failed to make our Celebrity 100 list due to a lack of press and social media buzz, but he does rank as one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood. We estimate he earned $27 million between May 2011 and May 2012.

Expect the star to make the list in Forbes next year though. Wahlberg has been on fire recently. His January action film, "Contraband," earned a healthy $100 million on a budget of $25 million. Now he's shown that an R rating isn't the kiss of death. The comedy "Ted," topped the box office this weekend with $54 million, making it the eighth-best opening for an R movie of all time. Expect Wahlberg to see a big jump in his payday and for the press to start demanding more of the star.
