If you're a star and your movie flops, it looks that much worse when you're earning a paycheck north of $15 million.Poor Will Ferrell. Or should I say undeservingly-rich Will Ferrell? Either way, he's been at #1 on this particular list two years running. Ironically, a blog post titled "‘Megamind’ Shows Why Will Ferrell Still Earns the Big Bucks" also appeared on the Forbes website today. Mixed messages much?
That's what happened to Will Ferrell with Land of the Lost. The big-budget film based on the '70s kiddies cartoon was supposed to be a big hit. But with an estimated $100 million budget, it earned only $69 million total at the global box office. That flop puts Ferrell at the top of our list of Hollywood's Most Overpaid Actors. For every $1 Ferrell was paid, his films returned an average $3.35.
PS - Sorry to be so Forbes-heavy today, but they make so many damn lists! Perhaps I should create a "The Top 100 Forbes' Lists"-list. And maybe Forbes will pay me for it, and then I'll be just like Nikki (see previous post below).
