10 Awful Actors Who Were Paid Incredible Salaries

5. Jason Statham

Net worth: $30 million. Much like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Statham has defined himself as a solid action hero; a gruff-voiced bald-headed hard man prepared to take on anyone who gets in his way to defeat a criminal syndicate/save a kidnapped child/seek revenge for the murder of a friend (delete and repeat as applicable). If there are any differences between Statham's characters they're almost impossible to spot - from The Transporter through to The Expendables, his gruff-voiced, no-nonsense anti-hero stereotype is present and accounted for in virtually every movie in his filmography. He certainly deserves credit for his commitment to performing his own stunts (and for supporting the dedication of his stuntmen compatriots), but give him a role which challenges his acting abilities and he'd no doubt find himself hanging in the wind. As Hollywood - and Jason Statham - are well aware, there's a huge market for his physical prowess, and the former champion diver has built up a tidy nest egg amounting to $30 million - not bad for essentially playing the same character over and over again.
