Leonardo DiCaprio Highest-Paid Actor in Hollywood: Report

Looks like Leonardo DiCaprio is king of the world, or over the last year, at least the king of Hollywood.

The "Inception" actor took in an estimated $77 million last year, on the back of that and "Shutter Island," according to Forbes magazine's list. DiCaprio, who leapt from fifth last year to the top this time around, made his money from upfront fees and a slice of the films' profits.

DiCaprio displaced last year's number one actor, Johnny Depp, who earned $50 million in 2010. Depp could be back on top again next year on the back of his reappearance as Jack Sparrow in this year's "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides."

Rounding out the top five are Adam Sandler with $40 million; Will Smith with $36 million; and Tom Hanks with $35 million. Ben Stiller, Robert Downey, Jr., Mark Wahlberg, Tim Allen and Tom Cruise completing the top 10.

"Forbes" based its ranking on box office take from May 2010 to May 2011, with the 15 actors ranked taking a combined $473 million during that period.
