Will Ferrell
Being on a Forbes is usually really flattering, but Will Ferrell got the short end of the stick when he was named the most overpaid star by the magazine.

The magazine calculated how much studio bosses earn per dollar paid to the actor, and clearly, they're overpaying Will.

After Will's last few movies bombed at the box office, his rate of return dropped to $3.29 for every dollar he requested as his fee.

While Will was named the most overpaid star, actor Shia LaBeouf was named the "Best Actor for the Buck" making studio's $160 for every dollar he was paid.

Forbes magazine's top ten Most Overpaid Stars:

1. Will Ferrell
2. Ewan McGregor
3. Billy Bob Thornton
4. Eddie Murphy
5. Ice Cube
6. Tom Cruise
7. Drew Barrymore
8. Leonardo DiCaprio
9. Samuel L. Jackson
10. Jim Carrey

I have to agree with most of this list, especially Billy Bob and Will Ferrell. They're movies are crap!

i love will ferrel. he's a great comedian but his newer movies just arent as good as anchorman, talladega nights, old school etc... Will Ferrel is a COMEDIAN first, actor second. You can't critique his acting or you won't enjoy the movie. That's a shitty list; most of the actors/comedians on that list are amazing.

About time people are noticing what a bad actor he is. I agree with the list except for Leo. I love him and he's a pretty good actor.
