The top 6 Hollywood celebs: How do they rank in salary and charity?

The current highest-paid movie stars are raking in millions of dollars per film. Their talent and iconic roles have earned them large paychecks, leading some to wonder where that money goes.

If they are making millions, how many of them are actually giving back to charity?

The Hollywood Reporter recently released a list of Hollywood’s top paid actors based on how much they earn per film. Leonardo DiCaprio topped that list, after being paid $25 million upfront to star in “The Wolf of Wall Street.” Other leading male actors include Robert Downey Jr., Denzel Washington, and Matt Damon, who earn anywhere from $10 to $20 million per movie.

For actresses, Sandra Bullock has officially launched herself into success with her role in “Gravity,” which earned her $20 million upfront and an additional $50 million after profits were factored into her agreement. Angelina Jolie scored $15 million for “Maleficent,” and critics suspect she could earn $20 million – the amount she earned for “Salt” – if a "Maleficent" sequel comes about. Melissa McCarthy and Jennifer Lawrence are also climbing the ranks as their careers continue to blossom, netting over $10 million for their starring roles.

With so much money, it may come as a surprise to see how much of that money is used for charitable purposes. Even those who are quite charitable are called into question, with critics wondering if their efforts are truly philanthropic or simply publicity stunts. Regardless, their money – and time – goes towards causes they choose to champion, and the public is curious as to what those causes might be.
