Aim BharatThe actor who topped the list of the highest earners in the world in 2023 amassed $73 million, despite not having a significant box office success in recent years. Nevertheless, he continues to surpass the earnings of both Tom Cruise and Shah Rukh Khan.
Reflecting on the most prominent actors in the current entertainment landscape, names such as Tom Cruise, Tom Holland, Dwayne Johnson, Margot Robbie, Ryan Reynolds, and even global icons like Shah Rukh Khan and Prabhas likely come to mind. Nevertheless, the actor who holds the title of the highest-paid in the world this year is someone who has not achieved a box-office hit in the last five years, yet surpasses all these individuals in earnings.
Adam Sandler has emerged as the unexpected leader on the list of the highest-paid actors globally in 2023. Renowned for his eccentric comedies from the 1990s and 2000s, he amassed an impressive $73 million last year, as reported by Forbes. This remarkable achievement was facilitated by four film releases in 2023, with Sandler taking on three acting roles and one production role. He featured in Murder Mystery 2 and played a supporting character in You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah, both available on Netflix. Additionally, he produced The Out-Laws, which starred Adam Devine. Sandler concluded the year with another Netflix project, Leo, where he lent his voice to the main character, a tuatara. He served as a producer for all three films in which he acted, allowing him to secure a significant portion of the digital sales revenue, thereby enhancing his substantial earnings.
