Adam Sandler Tops Forbes' Most Overpaid Actors List (Again)
See who else made the cut
For the second year in a row, Adam Sandler has earned the unwanted honor of topping Forbes' Most Overpaid Actors in Hollywood list.
It was estimated that for Sandler's last three films, every $1 the actor was paid returned an average of $3.20 for the studio. But don't cry for Sandler. Netflix recently gave him a deal to produce four original films for the streaming service, which doesn't have to worry about box office returns. Sounds like a match made in fart joke heaven.

Coming in second place, unsurprisingly, is Johnny Depp, who only returned $4.10 for every $1 he was paid. Though the actor has starred in some of the highest-grossing films of all time, such as Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, recent flops like T he Lone Ranger and Dark Shadows have proved that he isn't box office gold.
Ranking in third is Ben Stiller, who returned an average of $4.80 for every $1 for his recent films. Ryan Reynolds follows in fourth, returning $4.90. Then, thanks in part to the insanely expensive Cloud Atlas , comes Tom Hanks, with $5.20. Will Ferrell takes six place ($6.60) and Channing Tatum takes seventh ($6.70). Denzel Washington ranks in at eighth with $6.90. And rounding out the top ten are Sandra Bullock ($9) and Ben Affleck ($9.37).
