The 20 Highest-Paid Actors In Hollywood

It's no secret that being a big Hollywood star comes with a lot of perks. You get to meet other famous people, walk the red carpet, and of course, earn a lot of money. With their lavish mansions and fancy cars, many of today's hottest celebs don't exactly try to hide the fact that they're raking in millions of dollars for each role they play. But do you know exactly how much your favorite leading men earned this year?

Many times, a single role can make or break an actor's career. Just imagine how different the Hollywood scene would look if the actors who almost starred in these famous roles actually played the part! However, many of this year's highest-paid stars have built their fame up gradually over the years, rather than making it big with a single film. Just like the highest paid women in TV, the richest male movie stars of 2015 have definitely earned their place in the spotlight.
