World's Most Expensive Actor

Who is the most expensive actor in the world?

The question should be what, not who, and the answer is a mouse. Stuart Little demanded a hefty price tag of $50,000 to $100,000 per four second shot to create.

According to Forbes from June 2004 to June 2005 Mel Gibson earned $185 million making him the most expensive actor to hire for a year. He ranked #3 of most expensive celebrities behind George Lucas and Oprah Winfrey.

In 1998 Jerry Seinfeld earned $267 million for his role in Seinfeld.
The most expensive actor in a movie can be disputed as many actors receive percentages of profits.
We believe Tom Cruise to be the most expensive actor. Although he did not receive a single penny as a salary, his 20% profit sharing for War of the Worlds (2005) will surely set the record.
