Funnyman Will Ferrell has topped Forbes' annual list of most overpaid stars.
The comedian, who was once riding high with a series of hit films including "Elf" and "Talladega Nights," has recently taken a dive with box office bombs such as "Semi-Pro" and "Land of the Lost."

According to the mag, for every dollar Will made, his films brought in roughly $3.29. This starkly compares to other stars, including Shia LaBeouf who earned Forbes' "Best Actor for the Buck" in August. For every dollar Shia was paid, his films earned an average of $160.
Ewan McGregor trailed behind Will, landing second place on the list. His recent films have also under-performed at the box office, earning an average of $3.75 per each dollar the actor was paid.
