Will Smith was voted the most
bankable star in
Hollywood in a survey of industry professionals by
Forbes.com.
The financial magazine's Web site gives the actor a score of 10 out of 10 for his bankability in its first "star currency" list, compiled by surveying more than 150 industry professionals.
Following Smith on the list:
Angelina Jolie,
Brad Pitt,
Johnny Depp and
Leonardo DiCaprio, who all tied for second with a score of 9.89.
Tom Hanks,
George Clooney,
Denzel Washington,
Matt Damon and
Jack Nicholson rounded out the top 10.
Smith's superior box-office clout has been long established. He's known for "owning" the July Fourth
weekend box office with films such as "
Independence Day" and "
Men in Black," and has had few flops.
The 40-year-old actor recently topped the annual poll by Quigley Publishing Co., which has surveyed movie exhibitors since 1932 on which stars generate the most box-office revenue.
