According to US business magazine Forbes, Hollywood’s ladies faded before the men in the top of best-paid actors.

Hollywood’s 10 best-paid actors earned almost twice as much as Hollywood’s 10 best-paid actresses.

Collectively, the leading men in the movie world took home an estimated $487 million between June 1, 2007, and June 1, 2008, while the leading ladies only earned $244.5 million together, Forbes reports.

Leading the top of best-paid actors is “Hancock” star Will Smith, who banked an estimated $80 million in the past year. And this is no surprise, as the charming actor proved he can attract audiences of any kind, no matter the genre of the movie he stars in. He showed much flexibility, starring in sci-fi thrillers, love stories or dramas.

Smith is also the first actor in Hollywood history to have eight straight movies surpass $100 million at the box office, with “Hancock” the latest one of the kind.

The second on the list is Johnny Depp, the star from “Pirates of the Caribbean.” Even though he is known as the anti-commercial type and prefers strange, indie or dark movies, the actor who so well impersonated Jack Sparrow managed to earn $72 million this year. His latest film, “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street,” did not gross much at the box office, but earned Depp an Oscar nomination.

The third place is occupied by two stars, who each earned $55 million this year: Eddie Murphy and Mike Myers. Both of them owe their financial success mostly to the hit animated franchise Shrek, in which they star together.

Leonardo DiCaprio ranks the fifth in the top, with $45 million earned during the year. He is the only movie star who can get $20 million after starring in R-rated adult dramas, which usually don’t set records at the box office, because of viewer age restrictions. Three of the actor’s latest movies were nominated for Best Picture, and one of them, “The Departed,” also won the prize.

The next on the list is Bruce Willis, with $41 million. His latest flick, “Live Free or Die Hard,” managed to gross $380 million. He is to play in the sci-fi thriller “The Surrogates” next year.

The next spot is occupied by Ben Stiller, who brought home $40 million, due to Night at the Museum 2 and Tropic Thunder.

Stiller is followed closely by Nicholas Cage, who had earnings of $38 million. His latest movie “National Treasure, Book of Secrets” grossed $450 million worldwide.

As for the ladies, Cameron Diaz is the one leading the top, with takings of $50 million.

Keira Knightley is next, with $32 million, thanks to her roles in the Pirates sequel At World's End and Atonement. She also earned part of her fortune as the face of Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle perfume.

Jennifer Aniston is the third on the best-paid ladies list, taking home $27 million.

The highest-earning media personality is, as expected, Oprah Winfrey, with earnings of $275 million.

Among TV stars, the men’s list is led by “Two and a Half Men” actor Charlie Sheen, who earned $20 million, while the ladies’ list is topped by “Grey’s Anatomy” actress Katherine Heigl, with $13 million.
