8. Bart the Bear – $6 Million
Not quite as famous as Yogi or Baloo, Bart the Kodiak Bear was most famous for his role in The Edge. He also starred in other films, as well as commercials and TV shows. Born to orphaned bears in a US Zoo, the zoo could not care for Bart and he was taken in by Doug and Lynn Seuss. As Bart grew, the couple trained him and he found work in a number of TV Series and films such as Legends of the Fall. Bart has worked alongside acting greats such as Robert Redford, Anthony Hopkins, Morgan Freeman, and Brad Pitt to name but a few. Through his work with these Hollywood stars, Bart is reported to have earned $6 million during his time on the screen before his death to cancer at the age of 23.
