#34: Leonardo DiCaprio

Movie: Titanic

Amount:

Titanic wasn’t just a film; it was a cinematic phenomenon that catapulted Leonardo DiCaprio into the stratosphere of superstardom. While the charming actor had been honing his craft since the early ’90s, his role as Jack Dawson etched his name into Hollywood history.

But just how lucrative was DiCaprio’s voyage aboard the ill-fated ship? Well, let’s just say it’s enough to make any aspiring actor green with envy. With a staggering $300 million in residuals from reruns alone, DiCaprio’s earnings sail far beyond the horizon of most performers on this list. That hefty sum translates to a cool $12 million annually, and that’s not even factoring in his original paycheck for the film.
