In taking a picture, Clooney also had fun with lots of beautiful women. Got a big payoff, with a short time, plus surrounded by beautiful women, mmm…many men will jealous with him.

2. Brad Pitt
Pitt got a very big payoff from the giant phone company in Japan, SoftBank, for starring a commercial advertisement. In that advertisement he appeared alongside with ex-sumo, Yokozuna, Musashimaru Koyo. The advertisement was directed by Spike Jonze. SoftBank appears that they like Pitt very much, because this advertisement was the second time for Pitt as the star of SoftBank.
