According Forbes magazine, comedic actor Vince Vaughn has topped a list of Hollywood stars giving studios the best returns on their investments. He must come cheap!Forbes says it compiled the list by looking at a star’s last three films that opened wide before January 1, 2008 and were made in the past five years — and were not animated.
Forbes then took half of each film’s box office income and added the first three months of wholesale DVD revenues, subtracted the budget, and used the star’s gross income to work out payback.
Vaughn’s films earned $14.73 for every dollar he was paid.
Until recently Vince wasn’t paid the big-bucks that other actors make, and the films he starred in, like Wedding Crashers, had modest budgets but awesome box office returns.
Here’s Forbes’ list of the top payback stars:
1. Vince Vaughn - $14.73
2. Tobey Maguire - $13.44
3. Julia Roberts $13.19
4. Brad Pitt $12.73
5. Naomi Watts $12.16
6. Matt Damon $12.16
7. George Clooney $11.56
8. Jennifer Aniston $10.48
9. Hugh Jackman $9.90
10. Ben Stiller $9.50
A-listers Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts and George Clooney reportedly helped their standings in the list quite a bit, because of their work in Ocean’s Twelve and Ocean’s Thirteen, as they all took pay cuts to appear in the popular sequels.
From the waist up, he's lookin' a bit more like the guy I fell in love with in Swingers (or at least like he's gotten some rest) since the last 
But below the belt? Still a hot mess!
Oh, Vince, you're breaking my heart!
