World’s highest paid actor

Adam Sandler’s name surprisingly tops the list of highest-paid actors in the world in 2023. The actor, known for his breakout comedies in the 90s and 2000s, earned a whopping $73 million last year, according to Forbes. Sandler accomplished this feat with four releases in 2023, three as an actor and one as a producer. He starred in Murder Mystery 2 and had a supporting role in You’re So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah, both of which were released on Netflix. In between, he produced The Out-Laws starring Adam Devine. Adam Sandler started the year with another Netflix film – Leo – in which he voices the titular Tuatura. He was a producer on three of the films he acted in, which earned a major portion of the digital sales revenue, contributing to his huge income.

What’s interesting is that in the last few years, Adam Sandler’s movies have been released exclusively on streaming instead of being released in theaters. These include Hustle (2022), Hubby Halloween (2021), and Murder Mystery (2019). His only theatrical release after the pandemic—Spaceman (2024)—was not a commercial success. The last time an Adam Sandler film did well at the box office was in 2019, when his Uncut Gems grossed $50 million on a $19 million budget.

There were no Indian names in the Forbes top 10 list, although the magazine did mention in a separate list that Shah Rukh Khan earned more than $30 million last year due to his three box office successes – Pathan, Jawan and Danki.
