Leonardo DiCaprio? Johnny Depp?Harrison Ford? John Travolta? Samuel L. Jackson Who's the Biggest Box-Office Star of All Time?

The Guinness Book of World Records has figured out who the top-earning actor ever is based on box office receipts—meaning, his movies have outgrossed every other actor's repertoire.

Titanic, No. 2 all-time with $1.8 billion, is Leonardo DiCaprio king of the world?

Or Johnny Depp, because all four Pirates of the Caribbean movies made at least $650 million?

Harrison Ford had two megafranchises, Star Wars and Indiana Jones!

Or maybe John Travolta takes it thanks to hits like Grease, Pulp Fiction, Face/Off and, er, Wild Hogs?

You're all wrong!

Samuel L. Jackson, who by signing on to play Nick Fury in Iron Man earned him a role in every Marvel comics movie in the pipeline, is one bad motherf--ker when it comes to the box office. Think about it: the second round of Star Wars, Jurassic Park, The Incredibles, Kill Bill Vol. 2, Pulp Fiction, Patriot Games...the list is long.

All told, movies with Jackson in them have earned $7.42 billion over the course of his career.
Whoever said quality tops quantity?!
