30. Will Smith
Will Smith was arguably the most bankable movie star on the planet for nearly three decades, with *I Am Legend*, the *Bad Boys* franchise, and Oscar-winning prestige roles. In early 2022 he was still at the absolute peak of his power, with every studio eager to sign him.
At the 2022 Oscars, Smith slapped Chris Rock onstage after a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith. The Academy banned him for ten years, and industry doors slammed shut. Projects worth an estimated $1 billion evaporated. The man once called “Mr. July 4th” watched his untouchable status disappear in one shocking moment.
