If you are looking for actors who can earn their keep, black swans, vampires, and giant robots are the way to go. Or so says Forbes, in a look at the salaries of 100 top celebs vs. their box office worth, choosing their last three movies over the last three years. Leading the way is one Natalie Portman, with Black Swan, No Strings Attached, and Your Highness. A look at the A-listers with the accounting department:

The top earners:

  • Natalie Portman, bringing in $42.70 for each dollar she's paid.
  • Kristen Stewart, $40.60
  • Shia LaBeouf, $35.80
  • Robert Pattinson, $31.70
  • Daniel Radcliffe, $30.50
