Reuters Will Smith (R) greets fans as he arrives at the movie premiere of "Hancock" at Grauman's Chinese theatre in Hollywood, California June 30, 2008. The movie opens in the U.S. on July 2.

Will Smith has topped a list of Hollywood's Highest Paid Actors. The "Hancock" actor - who has made 80 million U.S. dollars in the last year - became the first ever actor to have eight consecutive movies break the 100-million-dollar mark at the box office.

His earnings caused him to shoot to the top of Forbes magazine's list, ahead of "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" star Johnny Depp who earned 72 million dollars.

Eddie Murphy and Mike Myers came joint third with earnings of 55 million dollars each, and "Blood Diamond" star Leonardo DiCaprio rounded off the top five after making 45 million dollars last year.

"Die Hard 4.0" actor Bruce Willis proves he still has the potential to be a huge box office star, after coming sixth in the list with earnings of 41 million dollars. He was closely followed by comedian Ben Stiller and "National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets" star Nicolas Cage, who made 40 million dollars and 31 million dollars respectively. The top ten was rounded off by "Old School" funnyman Will Ferrell, who earned 31 million dollars, and Adam Sandler with earnings of 30 million dollars.

The list was compiled by looking at the actors' earnings from June 1, 2007 to June 1, 2008.
