Forbes named the highest paid actors in the world in 2023

The American economic magazine Forbes summarized the results of 2023 by naming the highest paid actors. Given the enormous popularity of Oppenheimer and Barbie, one might conclude that Cillian Murphy, Margot Robbie, and Ryan Gosling have become the "richest." This statement is partially true, because one of the above is not even mentioned.

The top ten is headed by American actor and comedian Adam Sandler, who in 2023 appeared in Murder Mystery 2 and the Leo cartoon, and in 2024 was already in Astronaut. According to Forbes, he earned about $73 million.
