Adam Sandler tops the Forbes magazine list of "most overpaid actors" for 2013.

The actor was castigated for films including "Jack & Jill" and "That’s My Boy." Forbes' methodology involved budget vs. box office, rather than the films' merit.

Others on Forbes' overpaid list include Katherine Heigl, Reese Witherspoon, Nicolas Cage, Kevin James, Denzel Washington, Steve Carell, Jennifer Aniston, Matt Damon and Ryan Reynolds.
