Leonardo DiCaprio is the highest-grossing actor of 2010

Can you say gross point bank, boys and girls? From adolescent party posse to most bankable man on the planet, Leonardo DiCaprio tops Forbes' list of the highest-grossing actors of 2010. Based on the strength of Christopher Nolan's complex juggernaut, Inception, and Martin Scorsese's tense noir call-back, Shutter Island, DiCaprio's movies took in around $1.1 billion at the global box office this year. This is good news for the many charities that are the recipients of DiCaprio's well-established largesse.

In a dead heat for second place (since 2010 is still going on), are the startling Mia Wasikowska, who played Carroll's little-girl-come-to-life as Alice in Tim Burton's idiosyncratic Alice in Wonderland, and her Alice co-star, Johnny Depp, as a result of the just over $1 billion raked in by Burton's unique vision. The new-and-improved Robert Downey Jr. came in fourth at $808 million, thanks to no-doubter Iron Man 2, and the significantly less violent Due Date.

In fifth place is Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe, whose Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 has already earned $780 million worldwide this year. Rounding out the top ten are Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Sam Worthington, Jaden Smith, and Jackie Chan. This is a very media-friendly list, but you have to wonder how destiny could have been disastrously altered if someone had had a bit part in both Avatar and Alice in Wonderland.
