Fourth on Forbes' annual list of Hollywood's Highest Earning Actors. Smith made less than half of the top earning star -- Leonardo DiCaprio. DiCaprio earned $77 million from May 2010 to May 2011, mostly thanks to two films -- "Shutter Island" and "Inception." Last year he was ranked fifth.
It's no surprise Johnny Depp took the second spot. He earned an estimated $50 million from "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides."
Comedians helped round out the rest of the top 10. Adam Sandler came in third with $40 million, Ben Stiller came in sixth with $34 million, and Tim Allen came in tenth with $22 million -- mostly from "Toy Story 3," which also boosted no. 5 Tom Hanks' income significantly.
Veteran Tom Cruise tied Allen for 10th with $22 million. Lying just outside the top 10 were Jim Carrey, Daniel Craig, Robert Pattinson and Brad Pitt (all earning around $20 million).
For your information, Pitt was out-earned last year by both his current and former flames: Angelina Jolie was the top-earning actress with $30 million, while Jennifer Aniston made $28 million.
But which actors and just how big are those bills? Wonder no longer! Forbes released its list of top paid actors for the time between May 2010 and May 2011, with the biggest names in Hollywood populating the top of the list.
Leading the pack is none other than Leonardo DiCaprio taking in $72 million in the last year. DiCaprio was ranked fifth last year and now he's number one (no wonder Blake Lively likes him so much). This guy certainly has come a long ways from just been a teen heartthrob in the widely successful movie Titanic. This actor has taken his movie career in strides and broadened his range to genres outside of the romance realm including blockbuster hits such as Inception and Shutter Island.
Coming up behind him in second place is our usual first place champion, the dreamy Johnny Depp with $50 million.
