Will Ferrell
Funnyman Will Ferrell probably isn't laughing right now as he's topped the Forbes' list for Hollywood's Most Overpaid Stars.
According to Forbes, Ferrell returns the least amount of money at the box-office in comparison to his hefty fee.
For every dollar the Land of the Lost star was paid, his movies only returned $3.29.
To qualify for the list, each actor had to have starred in at least three films in the last five years that opened in more than 500 theaters. The money mag then applied a formula that calculated the actor's estimated salary on each film, including TV and DVD sales, compared to the film's total revenues.
On the other end of the spectrum, actor Shia LaBeouf was recently named Forbes' Best Actor for the Buck. For every dollar the Transformers star makes, his movies earn an average of $160. A close second and third place to Shia are actors Robert Downey, Jr. and Christian Bale.
Here's a look at the Top 10 list of the most overpaid actor's in Hollywood.
1. Will Ferrell ($3.29)
2. Ewan McGregor ($3.75)
3. Billy Bob Thornton ($4.00)
4. Eddie Murphy ($4.43)
5. Ice Cube ($4.77)
6. Tom Cruise ($7.18)
7. Drew Barrymore ($7.43)
8. Leonardo DiCaprio ($7.52)
9. Samuel L. Jackson ($8.59)
10. Jim Carrey ($8.62)
