Legendary filmmakers
George Lucas
and
Steven Spielberg
are the biggest male earners in Hollywood, according to a new study by
Forbes
magazine.
The pair, who worked together on last year's
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
, proved that the real money in Tinseltown was to be made from behind the camera.
Star Wars
mastermind Lucas was the highest paid man in the industry, pulling in $170 million in the last year, while Spielberg fell just behind in second place with $150 million.
Producer
Jerry Bruckheimer
was in third with an estimated yearly wage of $100 million.
Meanwhile, TV comic
Jerry Seinfeld
is still garnering big bucks from his beloved
Seinfeld
sitcom -- despite the show finishing in 1998, he made $85 million in syndication rights and TV ads.
Oprah Winfrey
proved she had the touch once again -- her male protégée
Dr. Phil McGraw
took home $80 million in the last year.
Other big earners include
American Idol
judge
Simon Cowell
, TV producer
Dick Wolf
and filmmaker
Tyler Perry
