Ray Anderson, Agreed and police officers, firefighters, and teachers are paid so little in comparison, despite the fact that society couldn't function without them. We would do just fine without actors.

For several years, not just 2012, he was listed as the highest paid actor. Regardless, I say no to Johnny Depp. He has a LOT of issues and isn't a kind person.

I have never understood why entertainers (actors, rock stars, sports stars) are paid so much. They are just doing a job and not working any harder than a lot of folks.

Love Captain Jack Sparrow! I hope a new pirate movie will be coming soon!

He made that money between June 2009 and June 2010 but I realize that he was listed by Guinness in 2012.

In 2012, Depp was one of the world's biggest film stars and was listed by the Guinness World Records as the world's highest-paid actor, with earnings of US$75 million. You stated thus above but said it was wrong. Which is it, 2012 or 2010?
