And This Year’s Highest Paid Actor Is.. Leonardo DiCaprio

Forbes recently unleashed its regular list of who’s who is filthy rich and they’ve estimated that between May 2010 and May 2011, Leonardo DiCaprio (Inception) earned $77 million which puts him on the top of the list of Hollywood’s highest paid actors this year. Congratulations to Leo!
I don’t know about you but I think the dude has put successfully quite a distance between him and his Titanic poster boy persona from years ago, by taking on one challenging role after another.
I’m not surprised by the 2nd name on the list, Johnny Depp, let’s face it, the previous 2 Pirates Of The Caribbean movies may have been crapolas but they were practically ATM machine for Depp whom I’ve met and is a pretty down to earth gentleman.
Now, the name on number 3 is a bit irritating because Adam Sandler hasn’t been funny for quite some time, at east in my book he hasn’t.
Of course some people, for some reason thought Just Go With It was funny and the richest man in comedy movies just got even richer.
Matt Damon is way down at number 15, he only took in about $18 Million this past year. I think he deserves more than that because he’s good at choosing solid roles and projects..
