Famous for his parts in The Wedding Singer and The Waterboy, Adam Sandler made a total of $73 million (£57.1 million) from his stand-up comedy tour and the 2023 Netflix movie Murder Mystery 2.
The 57-year-old celebrity earned more money annually than the second-highest earner, Barbie star Margot Robbie, who took home a salary of $59 million (£46.1 million).
In addition to starring in the major part, Robbie produced the summer blockbuster, which was made by LuckyChap, her production company, which also produced the darkly successful thriller Saltburn.
The actress, 33, is at least ten years younger than everyone else on the list.
Tom Cruise, 61, finished third after making $45 million (£35.1 million) last year from the newest Mission: Impossible movie.
With a combined salary of $43 million (£33.6 million), Barbie co-star Ryan Gosling, 43, and Matt Damon, 53, tied for fourth place on the list.
