Depp returned $2.80 for each dollar he was paid, according to Forbes' calculation.

To come up with the list, Forbes looked at the last three significant releases the actor was in prior to June that played on at least 2,000 screens and then divided the operating income of the films by the star's estimated pay for those films.

Depp starred in the disappointing "Alice Through the Looking Glass," which made $299 million globally at the box office on a reported $170 million budget.

The actor will star next in "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales."
