Don't know if you know any, but here are some examples:
Harrison Ford - K-19: The Widowmaker - $25 million for just 20 days of work.
Julia Roberts - Valeintine's Day - $3 million for just 4 days of work.
Ving Rhames - Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol - $7.7 million for just one scene in the movie:
"If I'm not paid properly, will I be working again on this one?" he told press in 2010. "No. I live a very simple life. If I'm supposed to make $7.7m and they're offering me $3m, I don't know if that's going to work. I did the last one for more than $3m, there's no misunderstanding - it's $7.7m or no!"
Marlon Brando - Superman (1978) - $3.7 million as well as 11.75% profit percentage for 12 days of work.
Benicio Del Toro - American Gangster - $5 million without any work on the film thanks to a pay-or-play contract after the movie fell through when first attempted to be made in 2004.
Mark Hamill - Star Wars: The Force Awakens - No exact figure, but at least over $1 million for his appearance at the end of the movie.
Charlie Sheen - Scary Movie 3 - $250,000 for just one day of work.
Sean Connery - Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves - $250,000 for his cameo in the film.
Michael Biehn - Alien 3 - No exact figure, but he got at least the same salary he got for Aliens just to have his image used in Alien 3.
