You're not necessarily paying for simply their performance. You're paying for what they bring (ticket sales, merch sales).
Are actors talented? Yes. Is their effort alone worth $15 mil when they take only 3 months to shoot a movie? Hell no. But they bring in huge money for the production companies so they're worth it.
