Most Overpaid Celebrities
Once you're in Hollywood's A-list earnings club, it's hard to get kicked out, no matter how badly your films perform at the box office. Case in point: Oscar winner Nicole Kidman. She earned an estimated $15 million for her latest film, The Golden Compass, known around the studio lot these days as the biggest turkey of 2007. It grossed a dreary $26 million when it debuted last weekend, though its reported budget flirted with $200 million. Kidman isn't alone in the overpaid celebrity category, according to Forbes' Ultimate Star Payback list of the most bankable actors in Hollywood. Kidman actually wasn't the worst earner on the list--that honor went to Russell Crowe. For every dollar he was paid for movies like Master & Commander and Cinderella Man, his films earned a measly $5. Don't fret for Crowe, though. He's already making inroads that should advance him up next year's list thanks to his newly released hit American Gangster.
