WAIGIZAJI (WAKIUME) KUMI WALIOLIPWA ZAIDI DUNIANI KWA MWAKA HUU 2013




1. Robert Downey Jr.

$75 million
The Avengers was the third highest-grossing movie of all time and no star benefited more from that than Robert Downey Jr. Tony Stark might not have been the leader of the group (that honor belongs to Captain America) but Downey was the only indispensable actor which meant he was able to demand the most money. As long as he's willing to keep putting on the Iron Man suit, Downey will remain one of Hollywood's highest-paid actors.


2. Channing Tatum

$60 million
Tatum gets a lot of attention for his looks but this year the actor proved that he's also one of Hollywood's smartest businessmen. Tatum and director Steven Soderbergh self-financed the movieMagic Mike, based partially on Tatum's past as a male stripper. So when the $7 million film hit it big at the box office, they each took home millions. Now Tatum is growing Mike into a franchise complete with a Broadway show, a proposed bar in New Orleans and a sequel in the works.


3. Hugh Jackman

$55 million
Singing, dancing, acting, getting ripped to kick some bad guy's butt, it's all in a day's work for Jackman. The actor, who is maybe best known for playing Wolverine in the many X-Men movies, showed last year that he can also move audiences to tears. As Jean Valjean in Les Miserables he scored an Oscar nomination and helped the musical earn $438 million on a budget of $61 million. Jackman is also a budding entrepreneur. His Laughing Man coffee and tea company donates all profits to charity.


4.Mark Wahlberg

$52 million
Ted was one of the most unexpected hits of 2012. The comedy, about a teddy bear who comes to life and grows up, earned $550 million on a budget of $50 million and helped land stars Wahlberg, Mila Kunis and Seth MacFarlane on our list. Wahlberg has been as comfortable doing comedy as drama with films like The Fighter and he's been nominated for two Oscars along the way. But now he's stepping into his first blockbuster. He'll star opposite a bunch of car robots in the next installment of Transformers which hits theaters summer 2014.

5.Dwayne Johnson

$46 million
The former wrestler is now a bona fide star. For more than ten weeks in 2013, Johnson had a movie in the box office top 10. Fast & Furious 6 grossed more than $500 million in less than two weeks and G.I. Joe: Retaliation is yet another franchise that Johnson has saved. Now The Rock is moving into TV production with The Hero, a reality show where he challenges ordinary people to act like real heroes.

6.Leonardo DiCaprio

$39 million
DiCaprio's films might not be very cheery (the actor often dies in the end) but they are super profitable. The 2013 adaptation of The Great Gatsby, from director Baz Luhrmann, seemed like a tough sell. But with DiCaprio at the helm, the film easily topped $250 million at the box office making it Luhrmann's most successful movie ever. DiCaprio's biggest hit is still the 1997 film Titanic which is the second-highest grossing film of all time. And yes, he dies in the end.

7. Adam Sandler

$37 million
Maybe Sandler should do more animated films. The funnyman's live action flicks, like That's My Boy andJack and Jill, have struggled at the box office. But the animated Hotel Transylvania turned out to be Sandler's biggest hit to date grossing $347 million on an $85 million budget. Sandler makes our list this year because he can still demand top dollar for films like Grown Ups 2. The first movie, in 2010, was the second-highest grossing film of his career.

8. Tom Cruise

$35 million
The 2012 film Jack Reacher is a perfect example of why you should never underestimate Tom Cruise. The movie, about an ex-military sniper, got middling reviews and did mediocre business in the U.S. bringing in only $80 million. But overseas, Jack Reacher was a hit. The $60 million film grossed a total $217 million. With foreign box office more important than ever, Cruise is still one of Hollywood's biggest stars.

9. Denzel Washington

$33 million
Washington was nominated for his sixth Oscar this year thanks to his performance in Flight as a hero airline pilot battling addiction issues. Washington took a cut to star in the risky film in exchange for a bigger cut if the backend. The bet paid off. The movie earned $162 million on a budget of $31 million. 

10.  Liam Neeson

$32 million
Neeson earned more than some men who made the Celebrity 100, like Ben Affleck and Will Smith, but he didn't have their fame numbers. While he might not be in the spotlight as much as some other actors, he's quietly build one of the best careers in Hollywood thanks to low cost, high return films like Taken andThe Grey.
