Will Ferrell, Hollywood's Most Overpaid Star!

Will Ferrell

Will Ferrell was selected as the Hollywood's Most Overpaid Star, Forbes reports. "Ferrell is one of the few 'Saturday Night Live' stars to achieve real movie fame, thanks to films like 'Elf' and 'Talladega Nights'. The success of those comedies bumped up Ferrell's paycheck, but recently that has hurt his return-on-investment number. This summer's 'Land of the Lost' flopped, earning only $65 million on an estimated budget of $100 million. For every $1 Ferrell was paid, his films earned an average $3.29", the magazine wrote. Right after Ferrell, the second place was taken by Ewan McGregor. "Although he appeared as Obi-Wan Kenobi in the three new 'Star Wars' films, McGregor is not the kind of actor who earns $15 million paychecks. Unfortunately, his low pay couldn't protect him from landing second on our list, because his recent movies have performed so badly," Forbes writes.
