Dwayne Johnson repeats as Hollywood's highest-paid actor
Ryan Reynolds, Mark Wahlberg, Ben Affleck and Vin Diesel follow him in the 'ranking'
Former wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne Johnson repeats this year as the highest paid performer in Hollywood, according to the annual tally published by 'Forbes' magazine. Also known as 'The Rock', the protagonist of 'The Scorpion King' earned $ 87.5 million between June 1, 2019 and June 1, 2020.
Of that amount, 23.5 million came from just one project, the thriller 'Red notice', which Netflix will release in 2021. Its profits also increased thanks to its line of sportswear 'Project Rock' for Under Armor Inc Of course, his income was slightly lower than last year, when he amassed a fortune of $ 89.4 million from participating in films such as "Jumanji: The Next Level."
The might of Netflix
The second place in the 'ranking' is for Ryan Reynolds, who precisely co-stars with Johnson 'Red notice'. The 'Deadpool' actor earned $ 20 million for that film, plus another $ 20 million for another film on the streaming platform, 'Six underground'. In total, his profits were 71.5 million dollars in one year.
Actor and producer Mark Wahlberg, star of the Netflix action comedy "Spenser Confidential," is in third place with $ 58 million. They are followed by Ben Affleck (fourth), with 55 million dollars, and Vin Diesel (fifth), with 54.
Akshay Kumar, the only Bollywood star in the top 10, ranks sixth with earnings of $ 48.5 million, mostly from product promotion.
Rounding out the list are 'Hamilton' creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, actors Will Smith and Adam Sandler, and martial arts star Jackie Chan.
