Vanessa Branch – $1.6 Million

Commercial actress Vanessa Branch is known for being the star of Orbit Gum ad, but people don’t realize that she was already a successful thespian before the marketing sketch. Most notably, she played Giselle in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise alongside a respectable actor, Johnny Depp.

While some actors don’t like being type-casted, Branch has a different perspective about it. In an interview with Presspassla, she noted how she loved having two personalities: one people see on TV and her authentic self. It is safe to say that people will never forget her for having the perfect smile at the end of the Orbit Gum commercials.
