Can you hazard a guess who made an obscene amount of showbiz money last year? I'll give you a hint...it's James Cameron.
The writer / director put another quarter of a billion dollars into his money pit (presumably where he has sex with international supermodels while eating endangered species). Last year he was only the 4th highest earner, but his backend for Avatar (between the worldwide gross of $1.95 billion and DVD revenue), along with a slice of toys and licensing (to the tune of $5 million), put him on top. How high? Add the next three highest jamokes and they're still not at that level of fuck you money.
Johnny Depp was the biggest star, picking up a $40 million backend on Alice In Wonderland and $35 million upfront for Pirates Of The Caribbean 4. But his biggest coup was pulling in $20 million the shitstain that was The Tourist. Steven Spielberg followed with $80 million, pick up more than half for his "consulting fees and theme-park-royalties". The rest of the top ten predictably includes Tim Burton, Leonardo DiCaprio, Adam Sandler, Christopher Nolan, and...wait - what the fuck? This is a travesty!
Taylor Lautner earned $33.5 million last year.
And the part that may prove there is no God is he earned more than Robert Downey Jr. The hairless werewolf made more than than not only his Twi-tard co-stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, but big dogs like Will Smith and Jerry Bruckheimer. Vanity Fair has the whole list, which goes up to 40. It will make you feel bad knowing how overpaid Hollywood is.
