14 DAY TRIAL // Younger fans probably don’t remember a time when Robert Downey Jr. was more or less box office poison but, fortunately, things have taken a turn for the better for the actor in recent years. In fact, he has just topped Forbes’ list of the highest paid actors in Hollywood.
Being in “Iron Man” and “The Avengers” sure pays. A lot!
According to the publication, RDJ made no less than $75 million (€57.1 million) between June 2012 and June 2013, which makes him pretty much the best of the best for that timeframe.
RDJ is in select company too: Forbes says Channing Tatum follows hot on his heels, with earnings of $60 million (€45.6 million).
Hugh Jackman ($55 million / €41.8 million), Mark Wahlberg ($52 million / €39.6 million) and Dwayne Johnson ($46 million / €35 million) are also on the list.
