Vanity Fair Names James Cameron as Hollywood's Biggest Earner

The March “Hollywood Issue” for Vanity Fair contains a number of interesting things, including a piece about how it might be more trendy to be fat than buff (we said interesting, not correct!). The real meat of the issue, however, is in its list of the highest-earning people in the industry. Number one is James Cameron, who garnered a whopping $257 million last year, mostly because of that movie about blue people who aren’t really people but are controlled by people or whatever.

Cameron getting a lot of money is nothing surprising, but as FishbowlNY perused the list, a few things caught our eye.

First there’s Vin Diesel, ranked #29, who was paid $15 million for the upcoming Fast Five movie, the latest addition to to the Fast and The Furious franchise, which are basically the same movie, over and over again.
