Who are the Highest Paid Actors?

The ThingsMenBuy.com Team all like to watch a good movie, we were having a discussion yesterday on Who are the Highest Paid Actors?

I’ve been having a look today and found the Forbes List 2017 of the highest paid actors.  I wonder if you’re favorite is up there on the list?

Let’s take a look and see who makes it to the list

Who are the Highest Paid Actors?

#1. Mark Wahlberg: $68 million

Wahlberg recorded his highest ever pay days thanks to movies like Daddy’s Home 2 and Transformers: The Last Knight.

I’ve always been a Transformers fan, but I was disappointed with The Last Knight – it doesn’t stop Wahlberg getting paid though!

#2. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson: $65 million

Movies-wise, The Rock commanded eight figure upfront fees for Baywatch and Jumanji.  Ok, I’ll admit I watched Baywatch! I have the excuse of … my family made me!

Here’s the trailer – it’s actually very funny!

 

#3. Vin Diesel: $54.5 million

This comes courtesy of the Fast & Furious franchise – we’re now on #8!

He also voiced the baby Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2.  Vol 2 is unusual in that imho it’s much better than the first one!

As you can see from this clip, Groot aka Vin Diesel has a lot of lines to learn …. not!!

#4. Adam Sandler: $50.5 million

Sandler’s been busy doing original movies for Netflix, the first one being the Ridiculous Six, which was the most watched movie in it’s first month.

Maybe you haven’t heard of films like Railroad Tigers, but that’s one of the films that Chan makes most of his money from.
