Will Ferrell Most Overpaid Actor and Eddie Murphy, Tom Cruise

For second consecutive year, according to Forbes.

Apparently Wall Street bankers aren’t the only ones raking in undeserved dollars. For the second year in a row, funnyman Will Ferrell came in first on Forbes' list of “Hollywood’s Most Overpaid Actors." Ferrell’s most recent failed flick, Land of the Lost, cost an estimated $100 million to make, but brought in only $69 million worldwide. According to Forbes’ calculation, for every $1 Ferrell was paid, his films made an average of $3.35. Eddie Murphy came in second on the list, Denzel Washington was third, Seth Rogen, fourth, and Tom Cruise, fifth.
