Here is the recently released Forbeslist highest paid actors in the world, which sees George Clooney on top with $ 239 Million.
George Clooney may not have helmed a hit in years, but his wallet has not noticed. Thanks to the up to $ 1 billion purchase of his Casamigos Tequila, Clooney scored a career high pretax paycheck of $ 239 million between June 1, 2017 and June 1, 2018.
Clooney's tequila cash edges Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, who banked $ 124 million pretax to rank No. 2 on the highest-paid actors list. I have tallied the largest ever acting take-home from front-of-camera roles in Celebrity 100 history, thanks to giant upfront paychecks and a cut of profits on blockbusters including Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.
Rounding out the top three is Robert Downey Jr., who pocketed $ 81 million. Iron Man still with an iron fist, cashing an estimated $ 15 million up front for 2017's limited-screen-time role in Spider-Man: Homecoming. I've earned several times that amount for Avengers: Infinity War.
His co-star, Chris Hemsworth (No. 4; $ 64.5 million), scored a career best thanks to his cut from Marvel movies such as Thor: Ragnarok.
Here are the ten highest-paid actors in the world, according to Forbes:
1. George Clooney - $ 239m
2. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson - $ 124m
3. Robert Downey Jr. - $ 81m
4. Chris Hemsworth - $ 64.5m
5. Jackie Chan - $ 45.5m
6. Will Smith - $ 42m
7. Akshay Kumar - $ 40.5m
