WHO says Hollywood stars aren’t worth what they used to be?
At least six actors are demanding — and getting — as much as $20 million per picture, right up there with the bloated heyday of star salaries in the 1990s.
A survey by The Hollywood Reporter has revealed the excesses of Tinseltown’s $20 million club, whose members include Robert Downey Jr., Leonardo DiCaprio, Sandra Bullock, Angelina Jolie, Denzel Washington and Matt Damon.

Downey’s Iron Man films — and the shrewd back-end he negotiated that is worth tens of millions more — mean he probably never has to work again, but that’s unlikely to halt his output.

Like Downey, Matt Damon will also command $20 million for the next chapter of his lucrative Bourne series.
As for Bradley Cooper, it’s only a matter of time before he joins the $20 million club, The Hollywood Reporter says.

Following the success of American Sniper and his three Oscar nominations, Cooper is expected to command $15 million to $20 million a picture, The Hollywood Reporter reports.
Four women are in the $15 million-plus range: Bullock, Jolie, Melissa McCarthy and Jennifer Lawrence.

Bullock remains the highest-earning actress after a spectacular deal for Gravity saw her rake in more than $70 million, once profits were factored in.
When it comes to action films, Dwayne Johnson is still the man — the Hercules Star can command $14 million to $15 million a film
