While Depp’s career has been on the rocks for some time, the list of most overpaid actors is a surprising mix of both in-demand and washed-up stars.
Depp has been named Hollywood’s most overpaid actor in 2015 by Forbes – a list Sandler topped for the last two years (he was ineligible this year due to his Netflix deal).
The number-crunchers then examined the estimated production budgets, global box office grosses, and stars’ paydays to come up with a final return-on-investment figure. “It is based mostly on actors” three most up-to-date films previous to Jun. 2015 & doesn’t embody little releases, little roles, or animated films.
Denzel Washington finished second, returning $6.50 for every $1 he earned – even with “The Equalizer” returning $192.3 million on a $55 budget. Those films are “Alice Through the Looking Glass” and “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales”.
Coming in third is Will Ferrell, who probably isn’t laughing over the box office disappointments of “Get Hard“, “Anchorman 2” and “The Campaign”.
Liam Neeson: $7.20 for every $1. Tom Cruise made the list from 2009 to 2011 – though his movies do well, he, like Smith and Pitt, commands a particularly high paycheck.
To compile its list, Forbes used earnings estimates from its Celebrity 100 list.

Channing Tatum (this year’s “Jupiter Ascending”) and Ben Affleck (2013’s “Runner Runner”) make their second appearances on the list.
