Vanity Fair magazine has put together a list of the top 40 earners in Hollywood for the year of 2010. James Cameron took first place with a whopping $257 million, which is more than second, third and fourth highest earners took combined.
Click here to see a break-down of how the celebrities made their money, which shows that the each member of "Twilight" took $25 million for "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn." Meanwhile it took only $12.5 million to hire Tom Cruise to write, produce and star in "Mission: Impossible 4."
Oren Peli, the man behind the $10,000 "Paranormal Activity," is now a rich man with $26.5 million, most of which came from producing the second installment. And $50 million of Steven Spielberg's $80 million once again came from his very lucrative deal with Universal Studios theme park, which pays him consulting fees and royalties.
And one can only wonder how Nicolas Cage continues having financial difficulties, since he earned $23.5 million last year.
