12 Acting Salaries You Simply Won't Believe

9. Johnny Depp - Alice In Wonderland

Salary: $40 Million Johnny Depp€™s quest to wipe out all traces of dignity from his career continued apace with Alice In Wonderland, another Tim Burton movie where he played another mugging idiot in white face paint with a silly accent. The movie was a tedious chore that turned the classic fairytale in a glum fantasy, but it was a very successful chore that became one of the highest-grossing movies ever made. I€™ll let that sink in for a moment. Despite the wave of negative reviews he received Depp still earned a whopping $40 million for his gurning performance, and is set to play the Mad Hatter again in Alice Through The Looking Glass. Tim Burton had the self-respect to say no this time around, which is a small mercy in itself.
