6. Tom Cruise – $40 Million
Tom Cruise has defined the role of agent Ethan Hunt in the “Mission: Impossible” movies and has been able to maneuver himself into earning a ton based on how the blockbusters perform at the box office. He earned an estimated $40 million in profit from 2012’s “Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol”, which grossed $694.7 million at global ticketing booths. Cruise owes this year’s paycheck to his upfront fees for 2015′s “Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation” and last year’s action flick “Edge of Tomorrow.”
