Who are the highest paid actors in Hollywood: the 2025 ranking of the wealth of the richest movie stars in the world.
Who are the highest paid actors in Hollywood in 2025? When we talk about movies, our thoughts immediately turn to the city of Los Angeles, home of the legendary studios and a must-see for all the big stars of the big screen.
Although cinema is experiencing a moment of general crisis - also because productions are focusing above all on TV series that are increasingly loved by the public -, the fees of Hollywood actors continue to be fabulous.
It is no coincidence that many stars have accumulated great wealth during their careers, even if many have then squandered their assets like several sports champions.
