Transformers and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Director Michael Bay has topped Vanity Fair's list of top Hollywood Earners for 2009. Mr Bay earned an estimated $125 million in 2009, helped in no small part by Transformers Revenge of the Fallen, for which back-end profit participation for directing and producing accounts for $75 million of his year's earnings, with a further $40 million from his share in DVD sales, toy and other merchandise profits.
