mia wasikowska

Aussie actress Mia Wasikowska, who played the lead in "Alice in Wonderland," had a lofty position as one of the top grossing actors of 2010. She came in a surprising 2nd place behind first place, Leonardo DiCaprio. The list, compiled by Forbes, calculates the actors who earned the most money at the box office this year.

DiCaprio's "Inception" made $1.1 billion at the global box office, while "Alice in Wonderland" made $1.03 billion.

Wasikowska also starred in the critically-acclaimed film "The Kids Are All Right," with Annette Benning and Julianne Moore. That film earned a respectable $29 million at the box office - a healthy return, since the film was made on just a $4 million dollar budget, Forbes notes.

So a great achievement for the Australian and one she will no doubt be proud of for years to come.
