5 Actors With Most Insanely Huge Paychecks For Their Iconic Roles

These A-listers have worked their butts off to not only showcase their exceptional acting skills but also to become major draws at the box office.

Here are the top 5 Hollywood actors whose iconic role paychecks are so impressive, they could have retired after landing them.

5. The Whole Friends' Cast — $1 Million Per Episode

In the early seasons of the show, the main cast members were paid $22.5k for each episode of the show.

But in the last two seasons, Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Courtney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, Lisa Kudrow, and Matthew Perry were paid a whopping $ 1 million an episode.

With 24 episodes in the ninth season and 18 episodes in the final season, we are sure you will be able to do the math on how much each of the actors earned.

4. Leonardo DiCaprio — $30 Million

Netflix paid Leonardo DiCaprio a hefty $30 million to star in the black comedy satire Don't Look Up, making his paycheck for the role one of the actor's highest ever.

Not to bring it up here, but another movie star, Jennifer Lawrence, for reasons unknown, made $5 million less than her male co-star.

3. Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson — $50 Million

After the upcoming winter release of Red One, another action comedy starring The Rock, he will probably regain the title of the highest-paid actor.

But now The Rock takes the honorable third place for the highest paycheck ever landed to the former professional wrestler amounting to $50 million.

2. Scarlett Johansson — $95 Million

Despite her legal battle with Disney, Scarlett Johansson is the top female lead with the highest paycheck for her portrayal of Natasha Romanoff in the MCU.

She has earned a whopping $75 million from her nine Marvel appearances, plus an additional $20 million for her role as Black Widow in a solo project, bringing her total earnings for the role to $95 million and making her one of the highest paid actresses.

1. Bruce Willis — $115 Million

Bruce Willis has once made a smart deal for playing dead in The Sixth Sense. Along with a $20 million salary, he negotiated to receive 17% of the film's worldwide gross and the rights to sell it on home video.

This arrangement has resulted in a staggering $115 million payday for Willis from the film alone, making his iconic role the highest paid on the list.
