Once again, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has scored the title of world’s highest-paid actor on the annual Forbes rich list – the second year in a row.
Between June 2019 and June 2020, Johnson raked in up $87.5 million with $23.5 million of that from his starring role in the upcoming Netflix film “Red Notice”. That’s slightly down from the $89.4 million he scored last year. Johnson has also had monetary success with his Under Armour clothing line titled Project Rock.
Coming in second was his “Red Notice” co-star Ryan Reynolds who got $71.5 million – snagging $20 million dollar pay days a piece for that film and his earlier Netflix effort “Six Underground”. A third Netflix film starring Reynolds is also in the works adding to that total.
Mark Wahlberg came in third with $58 million with earnings from “Spenser Confidential” and documentaries like “McMillions” and “Wahl Street”. Ben Affleck was fourth with $55 million and Vin Diesel with $54 million.
Bollywood star Akshay Kumar, “Hamilton” creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, Will Smith, Adam Sandler and Jackie Chan also made the top ten and each earned over $40 million. The entire group was paid over $545 million. The highest-paid actresses list is expected later this week.
