Chris Pratt | $10 million per movie

Chris Pratt first rose to fame after portraying Andy Dwyer on NBC’s Parks and Recreation. However, before making waves in the Hollywood scene, he worked multiple odd jobs to make ends meet. He was employed as a waiter, a ticket salesman, and was even homeless. He claimed he slept in a van and was discovered by a talent agent while working at a restaurant in Hawaii.

Fast forward to many years later, Pratt starred in Strangers with Candy, Moneyball, and The Five-Year Engagement, to name just a few of his extensive credits. He is best known today as Star-Lord in the hit Marvel movie, Guardians of the Galaxy. After the film, he was offered to portray a lead role in the 2015 Jurassic World, for which he became known as a bankable actor in Hollywood and earned a career-high salary of $10 million per movie.
