Robert Downey Jr tops Forbes’ Highest Paid Actor in Hollywood List
Robert Downey Jr. has topped Forbes’ ranking of highest paid actors for the second year in a row, earning an estimated $75 million.
Downey Jr. released only one movie in the period used for the tally – June 2013 to June 2014 – but Forbes notes that the majority of Downey Jr.’s earnings came from backend payments off “Iron Man 3,” which grossed over $1.2 billion worldwide in 2013.
Downey Jr. is followed by Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, at $52 million, who has spent the year making movies like the upcoming “Hercules” and “San Andreas.” Next on the list are Bradley Cooper ($46 million), Leonardo DiCaprio ($39 million) and Chris Hemsworth ($37 million).
Actor, Tom Cruise topped the list in 2012 but is missing from this list. The combined net worth of this list is also a bit lower than that of last year.
