Sanctum producer James Cameron and Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp have topped the list of the highest earners for 2010! Cameron earned $257 million last year, with $253 million of that alone coming from Avatar!

Next on the list, our sexy Captain Sparrow earned $135 million,. $100m from Tim Burton's remake of Alice In Wonderland and the $35m from an advances paycheck ahead of the next Pirates movie On Stranger Tides.

The rest of the top five is made up by some of the Top Directors in Tinsletown. Steven Spielberg walked away with $80m last year, and Inception Director Christopher Nolan earned $71.5m (and very well deserved). Also in the Top Five is Inception actor himself Leonardo Di Caprio who earned $62m last year from the Oscar nominated movie and from Shutter Island.

Kristen Stewart was the highest earning woman in 2010!

Adam Sandler, made $50 million for Grown Ups and the upcoming Jack and Jill and Just Go With It (he's been busy). Our favorite character from The Hangover, Todd Phillips made $34 million from the hit comedy and the sequel, The Hangover Part II and Due Date. Twilight hunk Taylor Lautner, was a newcomer on the richest list,  made $33.5 million from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Parts 1 and Part 2, and the upcoming Abduction.
Top 10 is rounded by Robert Downey Jr., who pocketed $31.5 million for Sherlock Holmes and Iron Man 2!
There's a lot of men right? Well the highest earning woman on the list is, believe it or not, Kristen Stewart in 13th place! The Twilight star apparently earned $28.5m  in 2010, placing her above her co-star and boyfriend Robert Pattinson! (Ouch)

Other women that made the list include Sandra Bullock at number 22, Angelina Jolie at 21 and Jennifer Aniston at 18.


So it seems the recession hasn't hit everyone then!
