Tom Cruise Tops Everyone ... in the Money Dept.

Tom Cruise may not be numero uno with Katie Holmes anymore, but he's # 1 in the money department.

Forbes just came out with a list of the highest paid actors in Hollywood -- and Tom is tops at $75 mil for the period between May 2011 and May 2012.

As we first reported, Tom won't be sharing that money with Katie, because their prenup cuts her out of his fortune. Of course, she can challenge the prenup ... a definite possibility.
