Wealth magazine, Forbes has named Dwayne Johnson alias “The Rock“ as the highest-paid male actor for a second year in a row after making $87.5m (₦33.2 billion) in a year.
The former wrestler reportedly earned $87.5m (£67m) between 1 June 2019 and 1 June 2020, including $23.5m for the Netflix thriller Red Notice.
The 10 top earners combined made $545.5m this year – more than a quarter of that from Netflix, Forbes said.
Indian actor Akshay Kumar was the only Bollywood star in the top 10. He came in sixth place with earnings of $48.5m, which Forbes said mostly came from product endorsement deals.
Also on the list were Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, actors Will Smith and Adam Sandler, and veteran movie star Jackie Chan.
The highest-paid actresses for the same period are released as a separate list, and are yet to be announced.
Last year, Scarlett Johansson topped that list with an income of $56m – less than that year’s seventh-placed actor.
