3. Reese Witherspoon
For every $1 she was paid, the film made on average $3.90
Reese Witherspoon's star may have dwindled these past few years, but her bank balance certainly hasn't. Having said that, she also isn't the sort after star she once was in Hollywood.
Her last three films have been Water For Elephants which wasn't too bad an effort, Mud, which is one of this years best independent films, although Witherspoon hardly has what you could say a "lead role" and This Means War - a pretty woeful film made by an equally woeful director, McG.
Witherspoon is most certainly still demanding hefty pay packets that are seemingly backed-up by her previous successes; there's only so long that can last.
Last Three Films;
This Means War (2012) - Budget $65million returning $156million
Water For Elephants (2012) - Budget $38million returning $117million
Mud (2013) - Budget $10million returning $28million
