Dwayne Johnson’s work ethic has knocked off Robert Downey Jr as the highest paid actor in Hollywood. Johnson is now the world’s highest-paid actor, according to Forbes, who estimate his earnings for the last year at a staggering $64.5 million, taking down three-time list-topper Robert Downey Jr, who fell into ninth place on this year’s annual ranking with $33 million.
Johnson ranked number 11 last year with around $31 million, meaning he has more than doubled his earnings. This is due in large part to the success of movies like San Andreas, Central Intelligence, his HBO series Ballers, and his fee for the upcoming Baywatch film. Johnson continues his non-stop work mentality as he will also be releasing Fast 8 and most likely take part in WWE’s Wrestlemania 33.
