5. David Bowie – Zoolander (2001)

David Bowie appeared for a cameo in Zoolander for a hefty $1 million. Being the icon he is, Bowie brought instant credibility to the film. A music and fashion legend, his involvement brought satire to a film that touched upon the fashion industry. The surprise appearance of Bowie as the judge of the "walk-off" made the fee worthwhile. Securing a global superstar like Bowie was not easy, and the cultural influence attached to it made this cameo costly, but unforgettable.
