4. Bradley Cooper – $41.5 million
Cooper is not afraid to take risks and try his hand at many genres. Within the past year, he starred in the romantic comedy Aloha and the intense war drama American Sniper. Cooper actually produced the latter, working side-by-side with director Clint Eastwood. The film was nominated for five Oscars and won for Best Achievement in Sound Editing. Cooper has yet to win an Oscar himself, but he has received several nominations for his roles in American Sniper, American Hustle and Silver Linings Playbook. Cooper’s behind-the-scenes work as a producer has helped further an already lucrative career. His production company, 22 & Indiana Pictures, was formed in 2012 with partner Todd Phillips, who directed The Hangover.
