Men out-earn women 2-1 in Hollywood

Will Smith tops Hollywood pay-list as women ask: why aren't we paid so much?

Will Smith has topped Hollywood's annual pay-list, earning a massive $80 million during the past 12 months.

However, publication of the Forbes list, which sees Johnny Depp in second place and Eddie Murphy in third, has raised questions about equal pay between the sexes in La La Land with the industry's top 10 highest earning men, out-earning their female counterparts 2-1 over the past year.

While the men in the top ten list pocketed a cool $487 million collectively, the ten leading ladies earned a comparatively paltry $244.5 million.

Is it time Hollywood started paying its stars better? Or do you think both men and women in Tinsel Town are over-paid? Leave your thoughts in the comment box below…
