The rock hasn't moved from the top of Forbes
The days when eminent actors like Harrison Ford and Tom Cruise made 20-for-20 deals with film companies ($ 20 million in advance and 20% of ticket sales) are long gone. But there are still men in Hollywood who can collect full cinemas and recoup an eight-figure salary and a rather large percentage of the tape's total profit (or what remains after paying bills).The financial publication Forbes has published a list of the highest paid Hollywood male actors, assessing the earnings of the stars from June last year to June this year. At the top of the list was Dwayne Johnson, who earned $ 89.4 million, a third less than last year's record of $ 124 million, which also belongs to The Rock. Johnson's payment terms are close to unattainable 20-for-20 deals: for the future film Jumanji: The Next Level, the actor will receive the highest rate in his career - $ 23.5 million. The Rock also accounts for 15% of the sales of the highest grossing franchises. including Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, which grossed $ 962.1 million worldwide. In addition, the beefy handsome is paid $ 700,000 for each episode in one TV show and seven-figure royalties for the Under Armor sportswear line of apparel, footwear and headphones.  Robert Downey Jr. made an equally successful deal with employers. For his role as Iron Man, he received a $ 20 million advance and 8% of the box office. The total amount for participation in the film "Avengers: Endgame", which grossed $ 2.796 billion at the worldwide box office and broke the ten-year record of "Avatar", was $ 55 million. Paul Rudd made $ 284 million, and most of that profit is due to the franchise.  However, for Bradley Cooper, this is not the only line of income. The voice of the raccoon Rocket in The Avengers brought the actor only 10% of the total amount of $ 57 million. Cooper earned more than half thanks to the film A Star is Born, a musical drama that the actor created together with Lady Gaga. It was a job for the soul, and Cooper even turned down the advance in favor of a partner on the set. The risk was justified: with a budget of only $ 36 million, the film grossed $ 435 million worldwide, bringing Bradley another $ 40 million.  In addition to these stars, the top nine highest paid actors also included Jackie Chan ($ 58 million), Adam Sandler ($ 57 million), Chris Evans ($ 43.5 million) and Will Smith ($ 35 million).
