Hollywood's Richest
Will Smith was the highest-paid actor in Hollywood last year, according to US business magazine Forbes.
The I Am Legend star earned $80m - Cameron Diaz led the ladies' charge by topping the highest-grossing actress table with takings of $50m.
The magazine pulled together lists of Hollywood's big earners for its special Entertainment All Stars issue.
Smith, Johnny Depp and Eddie Murphy were the best paid Hollywood actors in the past year, according to the magazine.
Smith, 39, made $80m (£40m) between 1 June 2007 and 1 June 2008, thanks to films like I Am Legend, Hancock and The Pursuit of Happyness, for which he was nominated for best actor in the 2007 Oscars.

Romans 1:16-17
The Righteous Shall Live by Faith
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”
Ephesians 2:7
7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. (ESV)
Today's God's Story is about His power making those who receive His forgiveness very rich! What are you doing with this good news?
The apostle Paul knew exactly what to do with the GOOD NEWS of Jesus Christ. He would tell others about it. He was not ashamed to tell everyone, because it is only the POWER OF GOD that can forgive sins and make a person right before God.
Will Smith will receive a paycheck telling him how much money he has earned. Do you know how rich you are spiritually?
What's really sad is how many people don't realize that God is waiting to make them rich with His grace and mercy. And His wealth lasts forever!
Don't you want others to know about the best thing that's ever happened to you?
You don't have to be a multi-million dollar movie star to receive Christ's riches. The POWER OF GOD is available to all!
How can we connect today's God's Story to our lives?
- How often are you in awe of monetary wealth while disregarding the true riches you have been given?
Take a couple of minutes to meditate on what God has done for you through His Son, Jesus Christ. Pray and thank Him for His power to save you....to help you live each day....to give you the courage to be identified as a follower of Jesus....to lovingly learn the stories of others...and to make the connection with your story and God's Story.
How can you connect today's story, God's Story and your story to others?
- When you are talking with your friends about their favorite movies or TV shows ask them how much they think their favorite actor gets paid.
- Share with them the immeasurable riches you have been given.
- Let someone in your "storysphere" know how they can become rich.
