After an extensive yearly study, THE publication found that Vaughn earned THE studios $14.73 for every dollar he was paid. THE earnings alone from?his last three films, ¡°The Break-up,¡± Dodgeball,¡± AND ¡°Wedding Crashers¡± are what endeared him TO this esteemed title.

Not too far behind was Spiderman himself, Tobey Maguire. Largely due TO his superhero franchise AND out of Spidey-suit films such as ¡°Seabiscuit,¡± Maguire pushed his earnings level TO $13.44 IN profits for each dollar he was paid.

Where are THE women on this list?

Number three is Julia Roberts who finished right behind Maguire with her $13.19 per dollar paid. Brad Pitt sat fourth, followed by a surprise at number five.

Naomi Watts is not only a stellar acting talent, but THE beauty rakes IN the bucks for THE studios IN regard TO what she is paid. Except for ¡°King Kong,¡± is there a blockbuster with her name atop it? It is not about blockbusters, purely TO make THE studios money. It is about how much THE film¡¯s earn?versus what you were paid. Looks like Watts will BE one, BE used more IN the future, AND two, her price is going up!

Closing out THE money-makers is Matt Damon, George Clooney, Jennifer Aniston, Hugh Jackman AND Ben Stiller.

Who¡¯s last? That is a surprise as well.

Nicole Kidman sat last on THE list of 35 performers. Her bankability seems TO be IN question as her figures were dismal. She earned studios $1.01 per dollar that she was paid.
