Jim Carrey | Yes Man | $30 Million

Jim Carrey is a very excellent comedian. He has made us laugh and cry with his movies. He can be a serious, dramatic actor for one minute and instantly change his character to a goofy one right after – only Carrey can do that. The man is a great artist known for his energetic slapstick performances. However, although he brought us a lot of joy, his personal life was not so satisfactory.

Anyway, when he did the 2008 comedy film, Yes Man, the 58-year-old star received a skyrocketing $39 million for it. The film was based on the memoir with the same name by the humourist Danny Wallace. Although it received mixed reviews from fans and critics alike, it couldn’t be denied that it was a box office success, earning $223 million worldwide. Credits to Carrey’s talent, the film ended up being a big hit.
