You'd Never Guess Hollywood's Highest-Paid Figure in 2023 Was ...

Comedian Adam Sandler was the highest earner last year thanks in part to his partnership with the streaming giant Netflix. The 57-year-old celebrity starred in and produced “Murder Mystery 2,” a comedy about detectives launching their own agency, which also starred Jennifer Aniston (another name on the top earners list).

Sandler also wrote, produced, and did voice work on the coming-of-age musical comedy “Leo” and appeared in the action comedy “The Out-Laws,” also put out by Netflix. He acted alongside his wife and daughters  in the comedy “You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah.”

Thanks to these efforts, Sandler brought in $73 million for the year.
