Another year has passed, and we are sure fans are willing to find out whether their favorite actor was the highest-paid. Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is back at the top position and has been the #1 consistently, and this is reportedly the fifth time. He has a massive fan base worldwide, which helps in the box office performance of his movies. His transition from WWE to films gave him a built-in fan loyalty. He dominantly works in action, comedy, family films, and voice acting, appealing to kids, adults, and international audiences. He even beat Brad Pitt and Will Smith to become 2024’s highest-paid actor.
His Red One was released last year. It was initially set to be released on Prime Video, but due to delays, it was released in cinemas. According to media reports, The Rock earns $20–$25 million per movie, plus additional revenue from box office bonuses and streaming deals. He also negotiates backend deals, getting cuts of the film’s profits.
Besides Dwayne Johnson, the list also includes Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. According to Forbes’ report, Reynolds is at #2, while Hugh is a few places below him. Ryan was reportedly the lead producer, co-writer, and star of MCU’s Deadpool & Wolverine, the second highest-grossing film of 2024. He also did John Krasinski’s IF and produced a new season of Welcome To Wrexham for Hulu. He earned around $85 million last year. Meanwhile, his pal Jackman made $50 million.
Hollywood star Brad Pitt had Wolfs only last year, so he is out of the top 5, but not too far. He proved his star power by occupying the 6th spot with his $32 million check. But there is only one woman in the top 10, and that is Nicole Kidman. Overall, there are three women on the list—Nicole, Mariska Hargitay, and Scarlett Johansson.
