GEORGE CLOONEY was the highest paid actor in the world over the past year, which is a pretty amazing accomplishment.  Even more amazing?  He did it WITHOUT having to do any acting.  (???)

 

 

George hasn't been in any movies this year, but he made $233 million from the recent $1 BILLION purchase of his 'Casamigos' tequila brand . . . and he got some more dough from his endorsements and older movies.
