3. Tom Hanks
   
   Despite not having a major hit in recent times, actor Tom Hanks continues to command one of the highest fees in Hollywood. To a large extent, this is due to his famed versatility as an actor which enables him to portray roles ranging from an astute army officer in Saving Private Ryan to the lovable Alabama simpleton in Forrest Gump. In the past year he is believed to have made $30 million, thanks to his share in the production company and the earnings from his role as Robert Langdon in the religious-thriller film series adapted from Dan Brown novels.

5. Tom Cruise
   
   Even though Tom Cruise has not delivered a big hit in the last couple of years, he is surely one of the richest actors in Hollywood. This is because he has not only an asking price of $25 million per movie for several years now but is one of the few producers who can guarantee the success of billion-dollar franchises. Famous for such blockbusters as Top Gun, Days of Thunder, Jerry Maguire, Magnolia, The Last Samurai and Minority Report, Tom Cruise is especially popular for his portrayal of the super-spy in the Mission Impossible series. Cruise is believed to have added at least $14.6 million in the past year to his already considerable fortune.

However the marriage ended in heartbreak with three month-pregnant Kidman suffering  a miscarriage. After that Cruise became romantically involved with Spanish beauty Penelope Cruz but three years later announced that their relationship was over. 
    
6. Brad Pitt
   
   With his heartbreaking looks and increasingly wide repertoire of roles, Brad Pitt is one of the top grossers in Hollywood. With Inglorious Bastards a hit, Pitt is bound to jack up his fees from which last year he reportedly earned $13.3 million. Among the most memorable films in which he has starred are Legends of the Fall, Seven, Troy, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, the Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The Departed and the Ocean’s Eleven series.

After dating her for three years, they split and Pitt married Jennifer Aniston in a private wedding ceremony in Malibu in 2000. However five years later, the two formally separated and Aniston filed for divorce.

   DiCaprio was the male lead in record-breaking 1997 film Titanic .Since then he has continued to star in successful films like Catch Me If You Can, Gangs of New York, The Aviator, Blood Diamond and The Departed while Shutter Island and Inception rank among his recent hits. Little wonder then that today he is one of the richest actors in Hollywood who has earned around $18.6 million in just the past year.
   
   The 35 year old DiCaprio has been romantically linked with several attractive women in the course of his acting career, like British model and socialite Emma Miller and then Brazilian model Gisele Bündchen with whom he had an on-and-off relationship until each went their own ways in 2005.  Soon after DiCaprio began a relationship with Israeli model Bar Refael.

His first wife was Mary Marquardt with whom he has two sons, Benjamin and Willard. Next he married screenwriter Melissa Mathison with whom he again has two children, Malcolm and Georgia.
    
9. Robert Downey Jr.
   
   Despite news of his drug habit and aggressive behavior resurfacing time to time in the media, Robert Downey Jr. remains one of the most successful male actors in Hollywood. Evidence of this comes from his latest blockbuster Guy Ritchie’s adaption of Sherlock Holmes as well as the hugely popular series Iron Man whose sequel released this year. Little wonder then last year Robert Downey Jr. added another $14.6 million to his kitty.
   
   After dating actress Sarah Jessica Parker for some time, Robert Downey Jr. married actress and singer Deborah Falconer in 1992, after a whirlwind courtship. The couple also had a son, Indio Falconer Downey but the marriage broke apart under strain of his repeated drug abuse.

The couple were married in 2005 and later in an interview to Esquire magazine, he credited his wife with helping him kick his drug and alcohol habits.
    
10. George Clooney
    
    George Clooney, judged one of the handsomest men on the planet and the star of such varied films as Batman & Robin, Out of Sight, the Ocean’s Eleven trilogy and Syriana reportedly commands a fee of $15 million per movie. However it is believed that he takes far less from friends like Steven Soderbergh and for directing a film.
    
    George Clooney has never shied away from leveraging his popularity into supporting humanitarian causes and highlighting political issues. However he is notoriously secretive about his personal life. He was once married to American actress Talia Balsam for four years but since then he has never remarried.
