2023 has become a historic year for cinema. After the slump in the post-pandemic rooms, came the ‘Barbenheimer’ phenomenon, a true revolution with the release of ‘Barbie’ and ‘Oppenheimer’, reaching box office records that had not been achieved for years. Thanks to such a push, it might seem that its actors were the highest paid in 2023 in Hollywood, but the truth is that, although some of them are on the list, the highest paid performer is not related to this phenomenon. If it’s not Cillian Murphy, Margot Robbie, or Ryan Gosling, who leads the ranking?

Although ‘Barbie’ y ‘Oppenheimer’ have occupied a large part of the cinematographic conversation, the box office has also been kind to other productions such as ‘Fast and Furious ‘ or ‘Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny’. However, the highest-paid actor of 2023 does not appear in any of them.

Which actor made the most in 2023?

According to Forbes, the person who pocketed the most money in 2023 was Adam Sandlerand not because of the movie theaters, but thanks to Netflix, because during the first half of 2023 the platform’s subscribers watched more than 500 million hours with content starring the actor, so they decided to compensate him. Thanks to films like ‘Leo’ or ‘Criminals in Sight’ he has pocketed a total of 73 million dollars.

If it weren’t for Sandler’s synergy with Netflix, the gold would have gone to him Margot Robbieleading actress and producer of ‘Barbie’, which raised 1.5 billion, allowing the 33-year-old Australian pocket 60 million dollars. Your case is particular, since it is the youngest in the rankingthe next one takes a decade and the average of the rest is over 50 years old. That is, he is placed above actors with a longer career, who earn more money through residuals and, therefore, equals caches of stars with decades of experience behind them.
