Jenkintown's own Bradley Cooper is fourth on the Forbes list of the world's highest-paid actors this year. The magazine estimates that he earned $41.5 million from June 2014 to June 2015, beating out the likes of Adam Sandler, Tom Cruise and Mark Wahlberg.
Only Robert Downey Jr. ($80 million), Jackie Chan ($50 million) and Vin Diesel ($47 million) made more than the local star. Philadelphia native Will Smith came in 18th on the list with $26 million.
This year, Forbes compiled the list a little bit differently, adding in actors working solely in international markets. Due to the change-up, a slew of Bollywood actors have made the list. Amitabh Bachchan and Salman Khan tied for seventh with $33.5 million, and Akshay Kumar’s $32.5 million haul brought him to ninth place.
The 34 highest-paid actors raked in a combined $941 million in the last year. Forbes' list of the highest-paid actresses will be published later.
