What actor has made the most money ever?

Answer 1

I'm not going to argue about the below answers which seem to contradict and confuse, what I will say, to answer the question simply since it is a straightforward question, I really like the link that was posted. None of these answers below will constatly be right. There is always change in actors and how much they gross and the website posted is a constant update of all the grosses.

I do like the reasoning behind the answer after the *asterisk* but I think his results (actors) are wrong if you look at the website. Also as much as the user that talked about voice acting was very correct, I will presume that the questioner was talking about on screen actors and not voice ones. There is also a website reffered there (thenumbers.com) which you should check out if you need a broader list and not just regular on screen actors!

Other answers: (no edit - by me anyway)

I think currently might be will smith..since hes the only actor to have eight straight consecative block busters in movie history.each of em` sellin more than over 100mill..

That's a very bad answer. Even if each of his last eight had grossed over $200,000,000, he still wouldn't come close to touching Eddie Murphy's $3,459,000,000*. According to Box Office Mojo ( see related links ), thirty-four of Murphy's movies have grossed this amount - an average of $101,700,000.

Granted, Will Smith probably has a higher average gross over all the movies he's starred in, but that is not the question. I would venture to say that Will Smith will be atop the list by 2020.

*Well, that depends. Do you include movies in which the actor made a cameo, or only ones in which they had a starring role? Also, do you adjust for inflation. Unadjusted, with cameos, the answer is Samuel L. Jackson with $7.42 billion in 68 films. Adjusted, with cameos, is Harrison Ford (Star Wars and Indiana Jones increase considerably after inflation). Unadjusted, starring roles only, is Eddie Murphy $3.46 billion in 34 films. Adjusted, starring roles only, is Harrison Ford.

All of this is wrong.

Frank Welker is a very prolific voice actor that has done work in more than 590 films and television shows (The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, Mulan, Pochahantos, Scooby Doo, Transformers and the more recent Transformers amongst some of the most successful).

The-Numbers.com lists him at $4,954,899,30, topping the Top 100 Stars at the Box Office - putting him some $500 million ahead of Samule L. Jackon (Not Adjusted)

None of this is correct!!!

I would have to disagree with Eddie Murphy (Box Office MoJo has Tom Hanks ahead of Eddie - listed as staring roles i suppose) and Frank Welker's total albeit impressive does not touch the actors that have been in all of the Harry Potter films which have grossed worldwide to date 5.409 billion (with two more to come). And if someone was to spend some time and check the grosses for actors like Maggie Smith who has been in over 50 films it would be easy to see how she quite possibly could be associated with the highest grossing career in history.

Answer 2

The actor whose films have grossed the highest amount is Tom Hanks, whose movies have pulled in a total of 3.9716 trillion dollars. The actor who has the highest gross personal income is also Tom Hanks, who has a net worth of about 350 million dollars.

Answer 3

1. 64 MILLION $ Indıana Jones = *Harrison Ford*

2. 48 MILLION $ Angels and Demons = *Tom Hanks*

3. 47 MILLION $ What happened in Vegas = *Cameron Diaz*

4. 38 MILLION $ Cable Guy = *Jım Carrey*

5. 35 MILLION $ Pirates of the caribbean = *Johny Depp*
