acting is a rather glamorous profession
actors get a walk down red carpets in
thousand-dollar suits have access to
some of the most exclusive places on
earth and get paid enough to afford
mansions most of us can only dream of
but there are some actors that rise
above the rest
not necessarily in talent but in pay
today we're going to take a look at the
ten highest paid actors of 2019 and see
exactly what they're doing with all
their money number ten Will Smith 35
million dollars now this is a story all
about how Will Smith and thirty-five
million dollars acting in 2019 as I'm
sure most of you know Will Smith rose to
fame in the 1990s acting in The Fresh
Prince of bel-air while just working on
that show would be enough for most he
wanted more and he went for it in 1996
he made the true break from television
to movies when he starred in
Independence Day this cemented him is a
big-name actor and led him to landing
roles in men in black enemy of this
state Ali and I Robot throughout all of
this
he earned additional money rapping
professionally since the 1990s his
career has continued to grow
most recently he played the genie in
Aladdin one of my favorite childhood
films which earned him about 12.5
million dollars upfront and a large
percentage of the film's earnings on the
back end so what does he get with all
this money with status how about a forty
two million dollar home in Calabasas the
nine bedroom house is fantastic by
itself but when you factor in that it's
set on 150 acres and some of the most
prime real estate in the country well
you really see it's worth the home
features a meditation lounge a recording
studio a movie theater a basketball
court a volleyball court a tennis court
a large swimming pool and the sunken
trampoline number nine Paul Rudd 41
million dollars Paul Rudd has been in
dozens of films since his debut in
sisters in the 1990s from playing a
rebellious hilarious teenager in wet hot
American summer to portraying love
interests and side characters and dozens
of rom-coms in the early 2000s he's
amassed quite an impressive filmography
which has led him to
owning an astounding 41 million dollars
from acting in 2019 of course most of
his acting money comes from Marvel it
may come as no surprise but many of the
actors on our list have Marvel to thank
for their thick wallets for ant-man Paul
Rudd and about 1.5 million dollars up
front but for Avengers in the game he
earned eight million upfront and at
least 2% on the backend which adds up to
another couple million dollars and
that's even without having an incredibly
prominent role with his money Paul could
afford to live in a mansion in Calabasas
or a penthouse in New York City
but he prefers to stay away from all the
hustle and bustle
he owns a large house in Rhinebeck New
York little is known about this house
but he has been very vocal about the
custom-built Irish pub Evie had put in
the homes basement in addition to his
home Paul has spent a fair amount of
money on cars over the years his
collection has included a 1991
Ferrari f40 a Ferrari 599 a Bentley
Super Sport in Aldie r8 v10 a 2011 Aston
Martin DBS and a 2010 Mercedes SLS AMG
number 8 Chris Ahrens forty three point
five million dollars is it Chris
Hemsworth Chris Pratt Chris Pine no
coming in at number eight
earning forty three point five million
dollars we have none other than Chris
Evans our beloved Captain America
surprisingly Chris Evans hasn't been
acting for incredibly long he got his
start in 2001 acting in Not Another Teen
Movie however it wasn't until 2005 when
he played the Human Torch and Fantastic
Four that he started to gain some
traction as an actor even then it wasn't
until 2011 when he played Captain
America that he became a household name
and boy did his career skyrocket from
there in the first Captain America he
earned 1 million dollars upfront by in
the game he earned 15 million dollars
upfront and a large percentage of the
earnings on the back end with his money
Chris Evans has managed to snag a fairly
nice property for 3.5 million dollars in
Laurel Canyon the 3 bedroom 4 bathroom
house has a pool and spa
with a steam shower and freestanding tub
which gives him a great place to relax
after filming there's a massive walk-in
closet which I hope has at least one of
his Captain America suits for
safekeeping
number 7 Adam Sandler 57 million dollars
the next actor on our list has been one
of the highest-paid actors for years
even as his career shifted and changed
coming in at number 7 we have none other
than Adam Sandler who earned 57 million
dollars acting in 2019
most people know Sandler from being a
cast member on SNL and from his string
of wacky comedy movies in the 1990s
those films like Billy Madison happy
gilmore and the waterboy made him a
slapstick comedy staple but that's not
where he wanted to be forever
Sandler went on to play more serious
roles to critical acclaim
most recently uncut gems and him several
awards and is viewed as the best
performance of his career after earning
so much money over the years and 57
million in just 2019 alone it's no
surprise that Sandler has a nice place
to rest his head every night or shall I
say places he owns homes in Malibu Los
Angeles Boca Raton and in his hometown
Manchester New Hampshire his Los Angeles
home cost him 12 million dollars in
boasts 7 bedrooms and 15 bathrooms his
Malibu home cost him 3.9 million with
three bedrooms and three bathrooms and
beach access number six
Bradley Cooper 57 million dollars yet
another Marvel actor to make our list
read Leigh Cooper made 57 million
dollars in 2019 considering he's been in
the business less than 20 years that's
fairly impressive he actually got his
start in acting in 2001 in wet hot
American summer alongside Paul Rudd who
he would later star in several Marvel
movies with now it might be safe to
assume that most of his 57 million came
from Marvel but in reality that's far
from the truth only 10% of his earnings
in 2019 came from Avengers and though
around 6 million is no small amount his
real money came from a star is born 70%
of his earnings came from the musical
romance he produced directed and starred
in and considering the movie grossed 490
6.2 billion dollars well that's a lot of
cash with all that money
Bradley Cooper has scooped up quite a
few houses he owns a three point five
million dollar mansion in the Pacific
Palisades and an even more impressive
thirteen point five million dollar
townhouse in New York the townhouse
spans five stories has heated floors
throughout an office with a wet bar a
subterranean garden and a full theater
in the basement
mr. Cooper sure is living large number
five Jackie Chan 58 million dollars the
oldest and perhaps one of the most well
known actors on our list Jackie Chan
comes in at a cool number five having
earned fifty eight million dollars in
2019 his career began way back in the
1960s where he landed small roles as a
child by the mid-1970s jackie was
becoming well known for his stunt work
and martial arts expertise however he
struggled to find work as an Asian actor
against more well-known stars like Burt
Reynolds he returned to Hong Kong to
work for a while and it wasn't until he
starred in rush hour in 1998 that he
received critical acclaim in the United
States after decades of trying from
there he became one of the world's
biggest celebrities starring in movies
like Shanghai noon around the world in
80 days and the rush-hour sequels the
amount of acting he does has diminished
quite a bit in the past few years but he
still earned a lot of money from
residuals he owns many luxurious
properties in Beverly Hills Miami
Beijing and Hong Kong his Beverly Hills
home is worth six point seven million
dollars it spans 30,000 square feet with
a massive wine cellar a recreation hall
and several spa areas I see you mr. Chan
number four Akshay Kumar 65 million
dollars

in the world but it isn't the only place
where you can make money an Akshay Kumar

known Bollywood actor Kumar earned 65

Robert Downey jr. 66 million dollars
Tony Stark is a billionaire and Robert
Downey jr. who plays him isn't far
behind in 2019 alone our DJ earned 66
million dollars and surely you can guess
where most of their money came from 55
million dollars came from Avengers in
the game with 20 million dollars up
front and the rest coming from his
percentage points he is the second
highest grossing box-office star of all
time with his films grossing over
fourteen point four billion dollars that
all being said our DJ wasn't always
rolling in money in the 1990s he was a
highly successful actor earning an Oscar
nomination for his role in Chaplin and
earning praise for his roles in less
than zero in Natural Born Killers
however his rise to fame was marred by
drug addiction in the early 2000s he
went to jail multiple times and when
released he managed to get roles only to
relapse and go back to jail this cycle
continued for many years and was
exasperated by mental health issues
after five years of struggling Robert
Downey jr. re-emerged landing a role in
zodiac and in 2008 he was cast as Iron
Man and the rest is history though he
has a lot of money our DJ hasn't been
one to flaunt it
