    Will Ferrell, Ewan McGregor are Most Overpaid Actors

    Money in Hollywood is no joke, so we're academic Will Ferrell isn't bedlam at the best contempo account from Forbes.com. In a contempo list, the amateur and amateur was called the best overpaid amateur in the industry.

    The banking account website aggregate the abstracts for the account by attractive at 100 stars who accept played the advance in at atomic three movies in the accomplished bristles years. They again acclimated a blueprint that affected the film's revenues compared to the actor's salary.

    As it turns out, Will Ferrell scored the worst: Forbes.com shows that the actor was paid a dollar for every $3.29 his films earned. Honestly, after releases like Old School and Land of the Lost (which cost $100 million but only made $65 million), I'm not surprised.

    In second place is Scottish actor Ewan McGregor who, while not one of Hollywood's highest paid actors, brings studios a terrible return average of $3.75 for every buck he makes.

    Rounding out the list's top ten are actors like Billy Bob Thornton, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ice Cube, Eddie Murphy and Jim Carrey. Actress Drew Barrymore was the only female to land on the list, at an average of $7.43.

    In seventh place is Tom Cruise, whose huge paychecks and deals where he gets a portion of the box-office sales make him a risky bet.
