10 Terrible Actors Who Won The Hollywood Lottery

8. Rob Schneider

Rob Schneider is of course the most prominent of Adam Sandler's entourage of goofball pals he casts in as many of his movies as possible.

Schneider first teamed with Sandler in 1998's The Waterboy, and despite a few dubious attempts to break out as an A-lister in his own right - Deuce Bigelow, anyone? - he's spent most of his career playing supporting weirdos in Sandler's broad comedy vehicles.

At least Sandler occasionally lends his talents to a worthwhile project and turns in a good performance every few years, but Schneider? He seems completely content to ride the Sandler gravy train for every buck it's worth, and in fairness, there are far worse ways to earn a living.

His net worth may be modest compared to others on this list - "only" $15 million - but for grabbing the coattails of a far more talented entertainer? Not bad at all.
