The Top 10 Highest-paid Actors In The World. 2015 by nnamdibig(m): 7:36am On Aug 06, 2015 |
Robert Downey Jr. Is the World’s Highest Paid Actor He may play Iron Man on the bigscreen, but Robert Downey Jr. is dripping in gold. With an $80 million salary, Downey is the highest paid actor in the world for the third consecutive year and has the highest recorded annual payday of all time. Jackie Chan is a distant runner-up with $50 million. Downey’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron” reeled in $1.4 billion worldwide ($941.5 million of which came from international territories), and Downey is reportedly commanding $40 million for the upcoming “Captain America: Civil War.” Forbes‘ 2015 list of the world’s highest-paid actors profiles thesps working solely in international movie industries. The 34 actors hail from seven countries and earned a combined $941 million in the last fiscal year. Six of the top 10 stars are from the U.S., including the third highest earner, Vin Diesel, who hauled $47 million thanks to “Furious 7.” The last installment of the hit franchise grossed a record-breaking $1.5 billion worldwide ($1.2 billion of which came from foreign markets). There are also three Bollywood A-listers in Forbes’ top grouping. Bradley Cooper came in at No. 4 with $41.5 million. Cooper starred in and co-produced Clint Eastwood’s Iraq War drama “American Sniper” this year. Despite a recent slew of flops, “Pixels” star Adam Sandler ranked in at No. 5 with $41 million. He has four movies on the way through an exclusive deal with Netflix. Tom Cruise cruised into sixth with a $40 million payday, thanks to upfront fees for “Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation” and last year’s “Edge of Tomorrow.” Cruise reportedly earned $40 million from 2012’s “Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol,” which grossed $694.7 million worldwide. Mark Wahlberg rounds out the top 10 with $32 million, riding high from “Ted 2,” which brought in $168 million, and 2012’s “Ted,” which made $549 million. Here’s the top 10 list: 1. Robert Downey Jr.: $80 million 2. Jackie Chan: $50 million 3. Vin Diesel: $47 million 4. Bradley Cooper: $41.5 million 5. Adam Sandler: $41 million 6. Tom Cruise: $40 million 7.
