Adam Sandler Tops Forbes List of Hollywood's Best Paid Actors
Adam Sandler has topped a list of Hollywood's top 10 best-paid actors in 2023 by American business magazine, Forbes.
Sandler, famed for his roles in The Waterboy and The Wedding Singer, raked in a total of $73m (£57.1m) thanks to the success of his stand-up comedy tour and 2023 Netflix film, Murder Mystery 2.
The 57-year-old star's annual income outstripped that of Barbie star Margot Robbie, the second-highest earner, whose annual salary amounted to $59m (£46.1m).
As well as playing the lead role, Robbie was also a producer on the summer blockbuster, which was created by her production company, LuckyChap - the brains behind the dark hit thriller, Saltburn.
The actress, 33, is the youngest on the list by at least a decade.
Barbie co-star Ryan Gosling, 43, placed joint-fourth on the list, alongside Matt Damon, 53, with both earning $43m (£33.6m).
Greta Gerwig's smash-hit comedy about the Mattel doll contributed more than £80m to the UK economy, according to production company, Warner Bros, and grossed $1.4bn (£1.1bn) worldwide, Forbes said.
Jennifer Aniston, 55, who starred alongside Sandler in Murder Mystery 2 and its predecessor, Murder Mystery, earned sixth place with an income of $42m (£32.8m).
The Friends star and Robbie are the only two women to feature in the Forbes list.
Action hero Jason Statham, 56 - the only British actor to make the cut - and Leonardo DiCaprio, 49, both amassed $41m (£32.1m) last year, earning them joint seventh place.
