Depp raking it in

Last year, actor Johnny Depp was in 10th place on the Forbes annual list of top earning actors with a measly salary of £18m. This year he is Numero Uno, after earning £50m for portraying the Mad Hatter in Tim Burton’s 3-D version of Alice in Wonderland.

Depp also landed a big upfront payday, estimated at more than £15m, for The Tourist and is currently filming the latest installment of Pirates of the Carribean.

Ben Stiller is named as the second on the top earning actors list with £38m. The only British actor to make the top ten is Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe on a mere £16.6 million.
