Oscar nominations for Best Actor

The 88th annual Academy Awards ceremony Sunday will spotlight the competition to be named Hollywood's finest. And while Leonardo DiCaprio might not go home with an Oscar, he can celebrate the fact that his blockbuster net worth makes him the richest - by far - of the nominees for Best Actor this year.

And the winners are …

DiCaprio, 41, tops the list, but the 5-time Oscar nominee has yet to win the top prize at the Academy Awards.
