SAMUEL L. JACKSON – AGE 72

Samuel L. Jackson holds the title as one of the most bankable stars in Hollywood. He is known for his roles in Pulp Fiction, Star Wars, Marvel, and The Expendables movies, all of which are major contributors to his top-grossing movie sales amounting to $5.76 billion. At age 80, with a plethora of accomplishments under his belt, Jackson’s professionalism in Hollywood did not change a bit except his salary. The actor is now paid a base salary of $10 million for every starring role. His cameo roles as Nick Fury in Marvel movies are also reportedly pegged at approximately $4 million.

With his multi-million wealth, many think that Jackson can happily retire and live on holidays all his life. He no longer has to think of financial woes as his insurance and fat bank accounts can cover his expenses. Thankfully, the actor does not believe in leaving Hollywood for good as long as he can still deliver lines. Jackson is set to star this 2021 in The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard with Ryan Reynolds and Salma Hayek.
