6) Anne Hathaway

As per Celebrity Net Worth, Anne Hathaway was paid $7.5 million for a role in which she appears only around 15 minutes—that of Fantine in Les Misérables (2012). Her character is a poor factory worker who turns to pr*stitution to help raise money for her daughter, and she dominates the film's emotional core.

Hathaway had key roles in Ravenna and Alice, so this was an excellent opportunity for her to seize the chance under Tim Burton's direction. Her take on I Dreamed a Dream would stand out as a high point, as she went on to win rave reviews and an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.
