Everyone is aware that Hollywood movie stars receive some of the highest salaries in the world. However, not all actors exhibit the same level of talent, and when pulling power is taken into account, some can earn significantly more than others.

For seasoned actors in the business like Tom Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Brad Pitt, this year has been lucrative thanks to their new movies, while Joaquin Phoenix has benefited financially from his highly acclaimed performance in the Joker (2019), which will be followed by a sequel.

Which actor, according to estimates, earned the most money in 2022 as the year draws to a close?

1. Tom Cruise – US$100 million

Starring in Top Gun: Maverick

The sequel to Top Gun, which was released more than three decades after the original, surpassed US$1.37 billion at the global box office in August, according to Collider.

However, according to Insider, Cruise’s original remuneration was a “mere” US$13 million when he first signed on.

According to British media, the 60-year-old increased that sum by agreeing to a deal that guarantees the actor/producer receives a portion of the blockbuster’s overall proceeds from ticket sales and streaming earnings. Thus, earning almost ten times as much as he did at the beginning, Cruise’s pre-film earnings in 2022 add up to a staggering US$100 million, making him the highest-paid actor of the year.

After notoriously slapping Chris Rock on national television at the Oscars earlier this year, many fans and critics questioned whether 54-year-old Smith’s film career would ever be the same.
The BBC reports that his most recent film, Emancipation, garnered generally favorable reviews and might be his ticket back to Hollywood. According to reports, the 1860s-set movie paid US$35 million for his part, which follows the life of a slave.
