When you talk about A listers in the film industry, the biggest names are usually the ones you’ve heard of. That is because of their wide popularity that they’ve managed to build over the years, with a combination of talent, versatility, and longevity, making their films relevant to a wider audience. And when we talk about the likes of these actors and their hauls at the box office in their careers, we’re not talking about millions, we’re talking about billions of dollars.
From an infographic picture from Independent, with the help of Box Office Mojo, we were able to identify the top 20 actors over the world who bagged the most moolah at the US box office. The one who takes the throne, the highest earning actor in the history of US box office, is none other than Pulp Fiction (1997) star Samuel L Jackson. Next stands veteran US actor Harrison Ford (Star Wars, 1977)who in the second spot. Tom Hanks, one of the better-known names across the world, for his performances in films like Forrest Gump (1994) and Saving Private Ryan (1998). Check out the rest of the names here below:
The youngest of all is a surprising name, however, her inclusion in the list isn’t. Emma Watson, 27, stands 17th in the all-time 20 actors who’ve earned the most money in the US box office and considering her popularity, we can see her way high above in the list in the near future.
