Yes and no; there's a world of difference between casting some famous movie face as Mario and, say, getting Billy Crystal to do voices for a Miyazaki film (which is an imperfect comparison as he was doing VA work in 1979). Buying the rights to dub and distribute a Ghibli film is not even close, monetarily, to Disney/Pixar original animation in-house, so sometimes it's not money. Or, it's not entirely money. VAs who've been consistently working for literal decades, like Frank Welker, still often have to show up for auditions, they don't just get magic phone calls to be cast in anything more lucrative than a Robot Chicken cameo. I'm willing to bet based on scuttlebutt I hear from actors on various levels that it's less about money than it is some magical combo of "fitting the vision" whatever that means, luck, executive interference, and then money. Actors who don't usually do voiceover work aren't cheap, so it's a gamble on whether someone with name notoriety will actually make back the animation cost, so it's usually more cost-effective to get someone slightly less known. Unless you're Disney and can piss away money, I guess.
