The World's Highest-Paid Actors, 2016
10. Akshay Kumar, $31.5 million
One of Bollywood's busiest leading men, Kumar banked top rupee for the three hit films in our scoring period. The action star bolsters his earnings endorsing a wider range of products than most Hollywood shills: Honda motorcycles, a dairy producer and a gold loan company among others.
8. Robert Downey, Jr. $33 million
Last year's highest-paid actor, Downey has had a quieter year with just Captain America: Civil War released in our June 2015 through June 2016 scoring period. His earnings are down 58% from $80 million last year; the majority of his annual paycheck comes from his turn as Iron Man in Marvel's movies. He pads his income with endorsements for Taiwanese smartphone dealer THC.
8. Shah Rukh Khan, $33 million
Khan continues to rule Bollywood's box office with the lead role in hit Dilwale and many others, earning multimillion-dollar upfront fees and cut of the back-end for his efforts. He also cashes in on endorsements deals for dozens fo brands most American have likely never heard of.
7. Vin Diesel, $35 million
With an upfront paycheck for the latest Diesel-powered installment, Furious 8, plus a sequel to Guardians of The Galaxy, the gravelly-voiced actor joins our list for the third time. A key user of Facebook's "Facebook Live" feature, he has 100 million Facebook fans. "The Whole point [of Fast and the Furious] was to diversify Hollywood," Diesel told FORBES in 2015.
6. Ben Affleck, $43 million
It may have been panned by critics, but Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice gave Affleck the best box office of his career: The movie grossed over $870 million worldwide. The cape crusader earns big from upfront fees and backened profits for the series, helping him pocket his highest annual paycheck yet.
5. Johnny Depp, $48 million
In May a judge ordered a restraining order against Depp after his then-wife Amber Heard alleged he physically and verbally abused her. The couple reached a a $7 million divorce settlement in August. The damning accusations did not impact his earnings during our scoring period-he pocketed an estimated eight figures upfront for the latest Pirates of the Caribbean installment and box office bomb Alice Through the Looking Glass-but his earning will likely plummeted next year.
4. Tom Cruise, $53 million
Hollywood's favorite Scientologist banked a big backend paycheck for 2015's Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation, plus upfront fees for a Jack Reacher sequel and Mena. At 53, he still manges to notch action hero roles thanks in no small part to his success as agent Ethan Hunt-the five-part M:I series has grossed nearly $2.8 billion globally.
3. Matt Damon, $55 million
The red planet turned green: Damon's The Martian grossed a mighty $630.1 on a $108 million budget. Damon earned handsomely from the film and nabbed a Best Actor Oscar nod, while banking sizable checks for his return as Jason Bourne and an east-west co-production, The Great Wall.
2. Jackie Chan, $61 million
The world's No. 2 highest-paid actor hasn't had a stateside live-action smash in ages, but he's the king of China's burgeoning box office, thanks in part to a cozy connection with Beijing. Chan starred in the latest installment of the Monkey King franchise and has several Chinese films in post production. A producer/investor and actor, he benefits from government censors looking kindly on his films.
1. Dwayne Johnson, $64 million
Rock-solid box office numbers helped the erstwhile wrestler become the world's highest-paid actor. Since helping launch the billion-dollar Fast and Furious franchise and leading 2015's San Andreas to a surprising $473 million worldwide, Dwayne Johnson has become Hollywood's go-to action hero. Next up for thee beefy star: a starring role in the upocoming Baywatch remake. "I can kick ass better than anyone on the planet," he once told FORBES. "And I have decent smile."

Props to Jennifer Lawrence. She's got the best hustle going. Somehow she's the top paid actress in the world despite not having anywhere close to top talent. It's crazy. I never really had a problem with her as an actress before, but I watched X-men Apocalypse for the first time yesterday (I know I'm late) and the whole time I was thinking "I don't think I could ever watch another movie with this bitch in it." Everything about her has just gotten old to me.
