5. Adam Sandler – $41 million
Adam Sandler hasn’t starred in any major blockbusters recently. In fact, two of his most recent films,The Cobbler and Blended, were the lowest-grossing openings of his career. However, Sandler remains a favorite among fans that prefer to stay home and download movies. A few big projects account for Sandler’s $41 million salary this year. He recently signed a deal with Netflix, in which he agreed to make four films exclusively for the company. The deal eliminates high distribution costs and reaches Sandler’s target audience directly. Sandler also rakes in dough by demanding big bucks for roles in budget films like Pixels.
