Jim Carrey – $35 Million

Jim Carrey is known for his hilarious expressions in movies like “Dumb and Dumber” and “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” While those movies are undoubtedly funny, nothing is funny about how much he gets paid from them!

He got paid $7 million for “Dumb and Dumber,” which was quite an impressive figure but nowhere near as shocking as the $20 million he got paid for “The Mask” and “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” For his 2008 movie, “Yes Man,” he reportedly got 36.2% of the profits, bringing his total take-home to a massive $35 million. Sadly, there are no snoops on the paycheck for his 2020 performance in “Kidding.”
