The actor whose bankability improved most over the past year was Russell Crowe, who was ranked the most overpaid celebrity last year when Kidman was in second place.
Last year, Forbes estimated the movie Cinderella Man earned $5 for every dollar that Crowe was paid.
But this year, he was the 18th best earner on a previously issued list of which actors were worth their paychecks, with a return of $6.88 for every dollar he earned.
This bump was attributed to last year's movie American Gangster with Denzel Washington, for which Crowe returned a healthy $10.80 for every dollar he was paid.
