Tom Cruise highest paid actor

Tom Cruise may not have a wife — but he does have a lot of money. On Tuesday — Cruise’s 50th birthday — he was named Forbes’ highest-paid actor in Hollywood.

The actor banked $75 million between May 2011 and May 2012 — putting him $38 million ahead of the second place-place finishers, Leonardo DiCaprio and Adam Sandler. Both of them pocketed $37 million during the same time period.

Cruise’s haul came mostly from Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol, which netted $700 million worldwide. Tom reportedly got a piece of the profits.

Tom is worth an estimated $250 million, but TMZ reported that he and Katie signed an “iron-clad” prenup. Despite the terms of the document, it is believed he will still have to shell out a lot of money in child support for their daughter Suri.

  • Dwayne Johnson and Ben Stiller rounded out the top five on the Forbes list.
