Tom Hanks is in it. So is Harrison Ford. And don't forget Tom Cruise. Jim Carrey was, but after The Majestic and Man On The Moon, his membership is in trouble. And while it's historically been an exclusively all-male club, Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz have flirted with membership as of late. And now, Vin Diesel of all people is a card carrying member.

What's the club? The $20 million club of course. Vin scored his membership when he signed on for the sequel to his upcoming extreme sports/spy movie xXx. His deal for xXx2 gives him $20 million or 10% of the gross profit, whichever is higher.

The first xXx feature doesn't even debut in theaters until later this Summer on August 9th.
