<P> Salaries for the world's highest paid film actors currently range from $20--30 million, but an actor can earn substantially more by deferring all or part of their salary against a percentage of the film's gross, known within the industry as a "profit participation" deal . Since not all salaries are made public, this is a non-definitive list of actors who have received $30 million or more as compensation for their services . The figures are given at their nominal value, since earnings from profit based deals are accumulated over many years, making it unfeasible to adjust for inflation . </P> <Table> Highest - earning actors in films <Tr> <Th> Actor </Th> <Th> Film </Th> <Th> Year </Th> <Th> Salary </Th> <Th> Total income </Th> <Th> Ref </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Keanu Reeves </Td> <Td> The Matrix Reloaded The Matrix Revolutions </Td> <Td> 2003 </Td> <Td> $30,000,000 </Td> <Td> $156,000,000 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Bruce Willis </Td> <Td> The Sixth Sense </Td> <Td> 1999 </Td> <Td> $14,000,000 </Td> <Td> $100,000,000 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Tom Cruise </Td> <Td> Mission: Impossible 2 </Td> <Td> 2000 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> $100,000,000 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Tom Cruise </Td> <Td> War of the Worlds </Td> <Td> 2005 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> $100,000,000 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Will Smith </Td> <Td> Men in Black 3 </Td> <Td> 2012 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> $100,000,000 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Sandra Bullock </Td> <Td> Gravity </Td> <Td> 2013 </Td> <Td> $20,000,000 </Td> <Td> $70,000,000 + </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Tom Hanks </Td> <Td> Forrest Gump </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> $70,000,000 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Tom Cruise </Td> <Td> Mission: Impossible </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> $70,000,000 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Harrison Ford </Td> <Td> Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull </Td> <Td> 2008 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> $65,000,000 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Jack Nicholson </Td> <Td> Batman </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> $6,000,000 </Td> <Td> $60,000,000 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Leonardo DiCaprio </Td> <Td> Inception </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> $59,000,000 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Johnny Depp </Td> <Td> Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides </Td> <Td> 2011 </Td> <Td> $35,000,000 </Td> <Td> $55,000,000 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Robert Downey, Jr . </Td> <Td> The Avengers </Td> <Td> 2012 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> $50,000,000 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Cameron Diaz </Td> <Td> Bad Teacher </Td> <Td> 2011 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> $42,000,000 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Leonardo DiCaprio </Td> <Td> Titanic </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> $40,000,000 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Tom Hanks </Td> <Td> Saving Private Ryan </Td> <Td> 1998 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> $40,000,000 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Johnny Depp </Td> <Td> Alice in Wonderland </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> $40,000,000 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Aamir Khan </Td> <Td> Dangal </Td> <Td> 2016 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> $37,000,000 + </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Neymar Jr </Td> <Td> Diver </Td> <Td> 2018 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> $37,500,000 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Arnold Schwarzenegger </Td> <Td> Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines </Td> <Td> 2003 </Td> <Td> $29,250,000 </Td> <Td> $30,000,000 + </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Mel Gibson </Td> <Td> Lethal Weapon 4 </Td> <Td> 1998 </Td> <Td> $30,000,000 </Td> <Td> $30,000,000 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Brad Pitt </Td> <Td> Ocean's Eleven </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> $10,000,000 </Td> <Td> $30,000,000 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th> Actor </Th> <Th> Film </Th> <Th> Year </Th> <Th> Salary </Th> <Th> Total income </Th> <Th> Ref </Th> </Tr>
