Because they’re worth it

It’s time for another of those Forbes magazine money lists. For the second year running Shia LaBeouf (no, really) tops the list of actors who deliver the best value for money.

It seems that the star of Transformers and (shortly) Wall Street: Money Never Sleepsgenerates a juicy $81 (€64) in profit for every dollar he is paid. Bet you can't guess who's next. Take a bow, Anne Hathaway. It sounds bizarre, but, remember that, at time of writing, Alice in Wonderlandremains the biggest film of 2010 (though Toy Story 3will pass it any second).

The list continues with Daniel Radcliffe, Robert Downey jnr and Cate Blanchett. Pardon? Cate was, of course, in the last Indiana Jonesfilm and – a sizable hit overseas – Robin Hood.

The only mega-star to make the top 10 was Johnny Depp. It seems he’s worth every penny of that $100 squillion (€79 squillion).
