Posted by: lukwago J in Life Style September 19, 2016

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 HTC.

Shar 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 a cut of the back-end for his efforts. He also cashes in on endorsement deals for dozens of brands most Americans have likely never heard of.

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.

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 caped crusader earns big from upfront fees and backend profits for the series, helping him pocket his highest annual paycheck yet.
