Le star di Hollywood che hanno guadagnato di più nel 2010!

di

Vanity Fair ha pubblicato la classifica delle 40 star di Hollywood che hanno guadagnato di più nel corso del 2010. Ovviamente, si tratta di stime e non di dati precisi al 100% (anche se si tratta di numeri del tutto plausibili). naturalmente, al primo posto c'è James Cameron che con Avatar batte tutto e tutti. Da notare come Steven Spielberg, al terzo posto con 80 milioni di $, ha guadagnato ben 60 milioni di dollari senza fare nulla, dato che si tratta d'introiti ricavati dalle royalties dei parchi tematici di Universal e dalle rendite dei suoi vecchi film. A seguire la top ten (la classifica completa la trovate qua).
