Hollywood’s Highest Paid Black Male Actors: Foxx, Smith & More
The Comeback Kid: Wesley Snipes
We love him for his huge action hits, but Wesley Snipes always seemed to be shrouded in controversy. He was once of the most bankable Black male actors in Hollywood, pulling in a $13 million salary for 2004’s “Blade: Trinity.” However legal and tax woes have not only sent Snipes to prison – they have also brought his estimated net worth down to just $1 million. Where’s the money train when you need it? As a creative actor who often self-produces his empowering Black male roles, let’s hope Snipes is able to return to his former level of box office productivity. The Black male leads on this list show his comeback is possible, as they are all living examples of the American dream.
