The 10 highest paid male actors of 2015 & the amount they earned (With Pictures)

6. Tom Cruise – $40 million

Tom Cruise has been a staple on the highest paid actor list for years. Considering he earned an estimated $40 million in 2012 for his role in Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol, which grossed $694.7 million in ticket sales, it comes as no surprise that this year’s paycheck is just as hefty. Cruise received upfront fees for Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation, currently in theaters worldwide. He also received upfront fees for Edge of Tomorrow, which was released last year. To date, Cruise has won three Golden Globe Awards and received three Academy Awards nominations.
