Leonardo DiCaprio | The Great Gatsby
Net Worth: $262 million

Drama is Leonardo DiCaprio’s expertise, and so he has received multiples accolades for many of his films, including Titanic, Django Unchained, and Catch Me if You Can. What was baffling for many, however, was that despite his excellent performance, it took a long-time for him to be recognized by the Academy Awards. At one time, there was even a petition asking that he be given his Oscars already, reflecting the degree of impatience his fans had. That award did not materialize until The Revenant. Victory is indeed sweet.

With official awards or not, DiCaprio has remained one of the most in-demand actors. Between June 2014 to June 2015 alone, the actor made about $29 million. The previous year, he earned $39 million. This period included the time The Great Gatsby was released, where he reportedly was paid $20 million in upfront fees. On top of that, he also had a generous income from back-end earnings.
