"Recession? What recession? Forbes magazine released its annual list of Highest-Paid Actors on August 1 and these celebrities definitely aren&amp;apos;t feeling the financial crunch.\r\nAlready a regular on the list, Leonardo DiCaprio topped it for the first time, flying past last year&amp;apos;s winner, Johnny Depp. DiCaprio, 36, landed huge paydays for blockbusters Inception and Shutter Island, reportedly earning over $50 million for the former thanks to a contract guaranteeing him a percentage of the profits. It brought Forbes&amp;apos; grand total of the actor&amp;apos;s earnings to $77 million between May 2010 and May 2011.\r\n\r\nDepp, 48, whose earnings last year were approximately $75 million, dropped to number two with $50 million. He was trailed by comedian, actor, singer, producer Adam Sandler. The 44-year-old funnyman earned an estimated $40 million last year. Will Smith and Tom Hanks rounded out the top five with $36 million and $35 million, respectively.\r\n\r\nOn the actresses list, which was released last month, Angelina Jolie and Sarah Jessica Parker tied for first, both earning $30 million. Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon also tied for a close spot behind Jolie, 36, and Parker, 46, earning $28 million each. And even though her career has been in a downswing, Julia Roberts came in fifth with $20 million thanks to her mega-hit Eat, Pray, Love.\r\n\r\nIn evidence that there&amp;apos;s still a huge divide between men and women in Hollywood, the highest-earning actresses raked in less than half of DiCaprio&amp;apos;s pay.\r\nEach year, Forbes compiles data from agents, lawyers, producers and other industry insiders to estimate actors&amp;apos; earnings."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
