Out of all the stars in Hollywood, Shia LaBeouf is the best one for the buck according to
Forbes for a second year in a row. As in “for every $1 studios spend on the 24-year-old actor his films return an average $81 of profit.” In a distant second was Anne Hathaway who did a little better than Harry Potter. Coming is 4th and almost half as much as Anne is Sherlock Holmes’ Iron Man Robert Downey Jr.
1. Shia LaBoeuf – $81 earned for every $1 paid
2. Anna Hathaway – $64
3. Daniel Radcliffe – $61
4. Robert Downey Jr. – $33
5. Cate Blanchett – $27
6. Meryl Streep – $21
7. Jennifer Aniston – $21
8. Johnny Depp – $18
9. Nicholas Cage – $17
10. Sarah Jessica Parker – $17
Not on the list are Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, any of the Frat Pack or any of the Twilight stars, I wonder if that will change their salaries when they negotiate deals for their next movies? I am also curious to see Wall Street will drop Shia down a notch and if Jennifer Aniston’s The Switch will make her switch out with one of the Brangelina’s?
