Dwayne Johnson Makes $89Million In 2018, Tops Forbes List Of Highest Paid Actors In The World

American actor Dwayne Johnson aka “the rock” as the highest-paid actor for 2018, according to the latest annual rankings from Forbes.

The bankable actor climbed from his number two placing last year – despite his $89.4m (£73.6m) earnings actually being less than the $119m (£98.1m) he made in 2018.

He made it to world number two last year while the last year’s number one actor George Clooney is out of the top 10.

That’s because his high earnings on 2018’s list were down to the sale of his tequila company, in a deal worth $1bn (£753m).

The lists include celebrities’ overall earnings, including brand endorsements and don’t solely consist of payments for acting.
