Celebrity chefdom's elder statesman may not be as visible as the new legion of young star chefs, but Puck still brings in big bucks, thanks mostly to his casual dining and catering empire, which now boasts airport kiosks. And unlike the new guard, Puck maintains credibility with foodies: His Spago restaurant in Beverly Hills still ranks among the top gourmet dining destinations in the country.

The film adaptation of Brown's The Da Vinci Code grossed $758 million worldwide, plus another $130 million in DVD sales, making it the second-highest grossing film of 2006. The ripple effect: strong paperback sales of Da Vinci and pre- Da Vinci titles. The year ahead should prove to be another profitable one for the author: Tom Hanks and Ron Howard are rumored to be in final negotiations with Columbia Pictures to bring another Brown title to the big screen, the Da Vinci prequel Angels & Demons. Brown is said to be toiling over a Da Vinci sequel.

Abrams is best known for creating, producing and directing the intricately plotted TV shows Alias and Lost. Abrams made his big-screen directing debut last year with Mission: Impossible III, starring Tom Cruise. With $398 million in worldwide box-office receipts, the film fell short of its predecessors, but still ended up as the eighth most lucrative movie of 2006. Paramount apparently liked what it saw from Abrams: Last July, the production company signed him to a five-year, $23 million movie deal. But fans of his television work needn't worry: Warner Brothers recently signed him to six-year, $36 million TV production deal.

Radcliffe, better known as the star of the Harry Potter film franchise, generated a media frenzy this year after he appeared onstage nude in a West End revival of Equus. The next Potter film, The Order of the Phoenix, is slated to hit theaters in July. Since his first foray into wizardry back in 2001 at age 12, both Radcliffe and his paycheck have matured remarkably. The actor was offered a reported $145,000 for The Sorcerer's Stone six years ago. He earned an estimated $14 million for his most recent role.
