Leonardo DiCaprio was 2010’s Top-Grossing Actor, according to Forbes Magazine.
The “Inception” star tops Forbes Magazine’s list of Top-Grossing Actors of 2010, thanks to the $1.1 billion his flicks earned at the worldwide box office in 2010.
Leo’s big year is due to two major successes: Martin Scorcese’s made-in-Massachusetts mystery “Shutter Island,” and the trippy thriller “Inception,” which added at least $50 million to Leo’s own bank balance. In a surprise tie for second place on the Tinseltown top-earners list is Aussie actress Mia Wasikowska. The 21-year-old newcomer starred as Alice in Tim Burton’s version of “Alice in Wonderland,” which brought in more than $1 billion in ticket sales. She also appears in the critical fave “The Kids Are All Right” alongside Julianne Moore and Annette Bening. Her next role is in the big-screen adaptation of “Jane Eyre.” Johnny Depp also tied for second place, even though “The Tourist,” his latest $100 million film, bombed critically and commercially.
Rounding out the top five are Comeback Kid Robert Downey Jr. at fourth place with $808 million, thanks to audience favorites such as “Iron Man 2” and “Due Date,” and Harry Potter [website] himself, Daniel Radcliffe. Radcliffe’s “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1” opened only a month ago but is already the fourth-highest-grossing film of 2010 with $780 million in global ticket sales.
