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

4. Bradley Cooper ($41.5 million)

Rank On List: 4th Place Bradley Cooper has been on the rise for the last couple of years, and now he's officially made it: the guy who started out playing unlikeable straight roles in comedy movies such as Wedding Crashes and All About Steve (awful, awful film, by the way) is now one of Hollywood's most bankable stars - and the world's fourth highest-paid actor. He first shot to fame as one member of the Wolfpack in The Hangover movies, which led to further work in movies such as Limitless and Place Beyond the Pines, which - in turn - made way for highly-sought after roles in Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle and American Sniper (Cooper was Oscar-nominated for all three). As a producer on American Sniper (a box office smash), Cooper ensured a massive payout. So now he's a leading man, through and through, and an actor capable of a lot more than most people were probably willing to give him credit for in those early days. "The guy from The Hangover - three-time Oscar nominee?" Absolutely - and no doubt it'll happen again.
