Many say that being in show business is one of the highest earning jobs one can ever get and enjoy. However, it takes a lot of talent and ability to make the most out of what they earn and be able to convert their level of fame to something that is more measurable - and that is money.

Here we feature not just the most popular celebrities down under, but also the richest once may know of.

Thanks to the 'jack of all trades' skills of Hugh Jackman, he reportedly fetches up to a million for every role in his blockbuster movies. This is of course, apart from the take home earnings he get from Seed Productions, his very own.

Then there's Keith Urban who raked up around $20 million for 2010. This one lucky guy is not just rich in finances but rich in love life having been considered as 'Mr. Nicole Kidman,' being the hubby of the superstar actress.

Another popular actress in Hollywood, Naomi Watts, has been always listed as one of the most stunning earners when she starred in numerous big films like 'The Ring,' 'King Kong,' and 'J.Edgar,' amongst many others. She reached about $11.9 million as of 2010 and was reported to have earned more in the recent year that passed.

Other classic celebrities in the industry who came from Down Under who are consistently known to be earning much would include the names of Cate Blanchett, Nicole Kidman, and Russell Crowe.
