Ranking The World's 10 Highest-Paid Actors From Worst To Best

10. Adam Sandler ($41 Million)

Rank On List: 5th Place Nowadays, Adam Sandler is considered to be something of a scourge of cinema; an annoying little pest who - despite the intrinsic awfulness to everything he does - continues to find employment in Hollywood. Who is giving all that money to this guy, and why? The answer, it turns out, is Netflix, who signed him to four-picture deal this year. Ka-ching! As an actor, Sandler has proven himself a capable actor on a few occasions (Punch-Drunk Love, for example), and yet continues to offer up filmic travesties such as That's My Boy. Consider for a second that Johnny Depp (sub-par as his career is nowadays) isn't on this list. He didn't crack the top 10, and yet Adam Sandler - who plays the same insufferable character in every movie - did. Pixels, his latest sh*tpile comedy, was one of the worst of the year - a travesty pretending to be a love letter to video games - and featuring one of the laziest, non-act-y performances of Sandler's career: never has he been more banal.
