Guy was MEGASTAR during the 70's and 80's. This is his total lifetime adjusted total boxoffice mojo
Adjusted Total: $3,531,377,300
Im aware of his movies and box office success, but I still dont see how he can be in the top 10. If we were looking at past box office draws, then shouldnt Eddie Murphy and Harrison Ford be on the list? It must be that Batman money that other posters have talked about.

Like other posters said, he was very aggressive with contracts in his Batman role. Off-topic but I also remember stories that he was incredibly difficult to work with on the set of Batman.
He was estimated to be richer then Seinfeld quite often, so even if he lost half of his fortune you would assume him to be in top 10.
Some actors are smarter with their money than others.
great actor. shame he had to brighten up his appearance and un-broaden his nose for the fame though.
props.
He had a clause in his contract where he was allowed time off for whenever there was a Lakers home game. He had a ridiculous amount of power over that film, to say the least.

Say what?
Wait, you are saying that Friends is aimed towards being cynical and is based around social norms?
Instead of Seinfeld?
Seinfeld feels much closer to British humor to me than Friends does.
Because your opinion is in the minority. It's the #1 syndicated show and he helped create it.

At least he made that up by giving us masses a really good Joker. Basically the guy knew he was gonna be awesome.
76M people in the US tuned into the Seinfeld finale. At the time that was more than 1 in 4 people in the entire country.
Do I need to spell it out? The man is almost a textbook definition of not-funny. The same goes for his show.
War Peaceman
You're a big guy.
Except he has made millions upon millions of dollars from his comedy show and comedy performances. You don't have to like him, but his continuing success suggests that he is as 'textbook definition' of funny as you can get.
That's not something many people on gaf will agree with, or people in the country/ world, so don't feign surprise.
Doesn't matter when more people watch your show's finale than the Superbowl. Seinfeld made a killing in syndication and home video.

shahrukh khan?! never would've guessed. he was my fav bollywood actor back in the day (when my parents dragged me to watch indian movies -_-)
Larry David will stop getting paid when he makes 1.7 billion from syndication, so yeah, it pays.
When you're not only the star, but the co-creator and a producer, money flows like Niagra.

thats fucking ridiculous, there's no such thing as comedy thats "right" and comedy thats not. comedy is one of the most subjective things ever, get that shit outta here
If your show is popular yes. Simpsons just cut a 750 mil syndication deal. Mark Harmon should be on that list soon, he has a piece of the NCIS syndication.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
He's on the list and at the top because millions of people all over the world know that you are wrong.

Gotta give props to Tyler Perry. I've never seen a single one of his movies, and basedon his posters alone I always wonder where this dude came from, and how he manages to keep making movies. As in, who's giving him the money to do it.
But to see that he's this loaded, well, well done sir.
Nicholson is almost all from Batman. If you see one of the special features on the bluray or DVD, he talks about he knew the movie was gonna be huge, so he invested in it. I think by today's standards its still more than the 60 mil that RDJ just got.
Adam Sandler... What the fuck. No wonder Howard Stern talks about him the way he does.

It's always amusing/surprising to me when people with a minority opinion don't realize they are in the minority.
Millions of people and GAF would say you are wrong so why are you so surprised?
Tyler Perry is nothing if not an incredibly shrewd and perceptive businessman. He recognized a massive void in terms of how minorities spent their money on entertainment catered to them, and came up with a very effective system where his films, TV shows, and plays make mad bank because he never breaks the bank on any of them. It's similar to what we've been seeing this year with the success of Christian films in theaters, which have also been ridiculously successful. You don't have to spend Avengers money or even make Avengers to be rolling in it at the end of the day.
Everyone wishes they were better products, but this is a case where beggars aren't particularly interested in being too choosy.
You bought the wrong textbook.
A lot of crazy shit went on behind the scenes on that shows. Him and middle kid do not like each other.

Exactly. He's like the Master P of the movie industry. Entirely self-made.

Does the same textbook say that the Vikings might win the Superbowl one day?
I was wondering where you was going with that reference.

Oh wow! I need links to stories about that shit. I didn't think (see what I did there?) there was trouble in Tool Time.

Or, he's with a production company that get tax breaks for producing his "minority friendly" movies, thus justifying their existence.
His movies are incredibly crude, outright racist, and at the same level as a Sandler film.
Then, he sandwiches some themes about family and love and God and the crowds eat that up.
I really don't like his Madea movies...
Hey, I'm not praising the films, just how smart he's been about the way they're produced.

It was totally sincere.
:lol
I think it had to do with JTT going to college and Tim didn't like that idea.
His Batman deal made him ABSOLUTE SHITTON of money. He took nice percentage of the film earnings and part of all merchendising for that film.
RDJ's Marvel deal is often described as "Nicholson" deal.

I am European and live in Asia since 10 years, I have never seen the face of Shah rukh Khan, like never.
So yeah, he is the biggest star of the 2nd biggest country in terms of population size and biggest in movie production, his wealth is explainable. But making him the most famous actor in the world outside US is a bit funny.
Also never had the motivation to watch a movie starring Adam Sandler. I guess that being producer pays nicely.
