Happy new year for Dwayne Johnson. According to Forbes, "The Rock" is the highest paid actor in the world for the second year in a row (the actresses are in another ranking). From June 1, 2019 to June 1, 2020, he pocketed the tidy sum of $ 87.5 million.
As Forbes explains, much of that jackpot comes from Netflix and its contract for the feature film Red Notice , which is expected to be available this fall on the platform. As headliner, Dwayne Johnson has received 23.5 million greenbacks. Another part of his earnings comes from his partnership with the equipment manufacturer Under Armor, for whom he created his line.
Netflix enriches the actors
In second place on the podium, we find Ryan Reynolds with $ 71.5 million. Much like The Rock, the actor owes a large chunk of his fortune this year to Netflix for the Red Notice films (he's also starring), as well as for Six Underground , directed by Michael Bay in 2019, and available. on the platform. In 3rd and 4th places then rank Mark Wahlberg (58 million), then Ben Affleck (55 million).
In 6th place in the Forbes ranking is Akshay Kumar, the only Bollywood actor in this top 10. Among his 48 million dollars, a part comes in particular from the series The End for Amazon Prime Video.
