Chris Evans is Hollywood’s “best value” star of 2015

December 24, 2015 by Gary Collinson

Earlier in the week Forbes announced its list of the most overpaid stars of 2015, with Johnny Depp topping the list of actors who offer the least return on their salary.

Now we have a look at those names on the opposite end of the scale, with Forbes revealing that Chris Evans has offered the best value, with the actor returning $214.20 for every dollar he was paid for his last three movies leading up to June 2015.

Interestingly, the top ten has an even split of five males and five females; check them out here…

1. Chris Evans ($181.80)
2. Mila Kunis ($87.30)
3. Scarlett Johannson ($84.90)
4. Gwyneth Paltrow ($82.90)
5. Emma Stone ($54)
6. Chris Hemsworth ($42.10)
7. Vin Diesel ($40.30)
8. Jennifer Lawrence ($39.10)
9. Mark Wahlberg ($37.90)
10. Dwayne Johnson ($28.10)
