It's no secret that Hollywood's finest are some of the most overpaid people on the face of the planet. Honestly, $10 million (and that's being conservative) to act like someone else for half a year? Come on. Of course, we're not saying it's not a hard industry –– perhaps one of the hardest, especially to make it in. But we're just saying, teachers are pretty good people, too. Anyway, it's now being said that Adam Sandler, Johnny Depp and Ben Stiller are among the highest overpaid actors in the business of show. And since Stiller just dropped his Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb (the third installment) just last Friday, Dec. 19, it seems he's raking in even more of that overcompensation.

According to Variety (via Forbes' list), Forbes had their analysts "examine the last three movies the actor was in and compare those combined grosses with his or her combined paycheck, generating an investment return figure for each star."

And what they found was pretty interesting...

Check out the list from Variety here:

1. Adam Sandler – Returns $3.20 for every $1 paid.
2. Johnny Depp – Returns $4.10 for every $1 paid.
3. Ben Stiller – Returns $4.80 for every $1 paid.
4. Ryan Reynolds – Returns $4.90 for every $1 paid.
5. Tom Hanks – Returns $5.20 for every $1 paid.
6. Will Ferrell – Returns $6.60 for every $1 paid.
7. Channing Tatum – Returns $6.70 for every $1 paid.
8. Denzel Washington – Returns $6.90 for every $1 paid.
9. Sandra Bullock – Returns $9 for every $1 paid.
10. Ben Affleck – Returns $9.37 for every $1 paid.

So, readers, what do you think about the Forbes list. Are any of the above a shock to you?

Of course, if you're looking to give Ben Stiller a wee bit more money, why not head on out to see Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb?
