Adam Sandler has topped the list Hollywood's most overpaid actors again, it has been revealed.

The Forbes Magazine named the 48-year-old actor as the most overpaid actor consecutively for the second year, the Guardian reported.

The magazine examined that they estimate that for every 1 dollar Sandler was paid, he returned an average of 3.20 dollars.

Sandler's latest film 'Grown Ups 2' was a hit, cashing-in in 246 million dollars at the global box office but it didn't go far enough to make up for the actor's previous flops, 'Jack and Jill' and 'That's My Boy'.

Johnny Depp grabbed the second spot returning an average of 4.10 dollars for each dollar paid.

Comedian Ben Stiller secured the third spot in the list with a 4.80 dollars return, due to 'Tower Heist' and 'The Watch', which did not perform well at the box office.
