LOS ANGELES – Funnyman Will Ferrell and British actor Ewan McGregor headed a Forbes.com list of Hollywood’s most overpaid stars when looking at the financial returns of their movies.
Billy Bob Thornton, Tom Cruise and Jim Carrey also made the top 10 tally of actors who cost more to hire than they appear to be worth at box offices.
Ferrell took first place largely due to the flop of his summer 2009 movie “Land of the Lost”, which Forbes said cost an estimated $100 million to make but earned just $65 million at box offices worldwide for movie studio Universal Pictures.
Now I finally see how some of these celebrities become so rich. $1 of every $3.29 is allot of money… and how did Ice Cube make the list? Didn’t know he was that demanded.
