I'm more interested in Hollywood's "lowest paid" high profile actors.
Thats Police Story Lockdown (the latest one). Its not very good, the first four Police Story movies are awesome. Five and six aren't good.

But then again .. how much of it is taxed, how much goes to their agencies etc ?
I mean shit, I'm not saying these guys are poor or anything .. it's just that they probably see around half or maybe even less of the amount stated.

Didn't think Chan, Kunis, Roberts, or Ainston still appeared in popular movies to warrant that. Goes to yo show there's more to it.
And he still surprisingly comes back once in a while. How much does WWE even pay him?
Well, he still look like he is in his 40s despite being 54 years old. Seems like he haven't aged at all for the past decade.

Jackie Chan deserves all of that money, love that guy and the stunts he does/did were insane
Jackie the god B^)

I have no problem with Aniston, she has made forays into serious movies over the last couple of years, took a few risks, a very good actress.
Depp I can't understand, who still he thinks he is viable? Is the new Pirates movie going to be a hit, and then he will get a chance to flop in a new round of movies based on that?

The top 2 are the like the hardest working guys in the biz. They were both in the top 10 last year too. Props to Jackie and the Rock, love those guys. They should do a movie together!

There's one more curious thing about this list. There's nobody young in the male group. And thinking about it...women still get to become starts pretty young, but I can't think of any recent male actor who would become superstar in his 20s. Pattison is the closest, but he had one huge trilogy and that's it. I wonder if the age for young male stars is over because of how the market for bigger budget flicks shifted.

I have a difficult time separating Downey from Tony Stark. Not sure there's a difference beyond all the you know fictional elements.

He also came from a giant wrestling family which game him an easy in to the business... and he suuuuuuuuuuuuuuucked for a good while to boot, I don't think someone without his familial background would have been a) given a shot b) kept on long enough to break through his horrible start...
Nice sentiment though.
Jackie Chan acted in 5 movies in 2016 and Executive Producer on 2.
The comparison is skewed, because the top of male actors just makes so much more money, that only two women would break into their Top 10, one of them is 46. It's not unreasonable to assume that if this list was extended to Top 50 we would see that there are young male actors making money comparable to women. I'd also add that there are a few "older" women on the list as well (McCarthy, Aniston, Theron, Adams, Roberts).

The Rock might have started at 7 bucks, but Jackie Chan had to overcome The Cannonball Run.
I think this is just about the best it could get for race representation in this decade.
The non-white people on the list mainly made money domestically only and western countries as a whole are still not used to poc lead or watching subtitled films, at least in the case of a major market like America for the latter.

Next year, he's a voice in the Lego Ninjago Movie, Kung Fu Yoga and The Nut Job 2.

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
they're still "wealthy" just not as much. Think of in the hundred's of thousands instead of millions, or tens of thousands.
Once you have enough gigs, it pays well.

You mean Fan Bingbing and Deepika Padukone?
Actually, it looks like the salary gap doesn't exist outside the US, so male foreign actor from other countries didn't make the top 10.

the first movie which pretty much laid down the entire road for his character in the marvel flicks was mostly improvised lines from RDJ I heard.
anyways bless up to the bollywood actors (male and female) and jackie chan collecting them checks. And it's awesome how the WWF Gawd Rock is now on top of hollywood.
Yep, China is a huge market and he did have an animated movie come out in China. There are some Bollywood actors on that list as well. It is maddening how much less actresses are paid though.

He's an extreme collector and hoarder as well
Easy to do when all you do is point to the things you want instead of ever considering price
I do wonder if he hk as any deals worked out for old films.
Don't forget he still has a stunt team for movies? Assuming.
He probably makes a lot more than that in a year
Vin apparently didn't.
Vin will have to try and get the scraps from the Mahvel money pool to match up

He works like Samuel Jackson used to.
I didn't know I want this until now.
Yeah, I'm glad the rock is humble, but damn people at the top forget that most of their success is based on either prior contacts or other occurrences that most people just simply will never get.
It's not possible for most people to become a success like him and people ignore that. Still, good on him doing well. He's awesome.

Plenty of other guys came from wrestling backgrounds/families and didn't share NEARLY the success The Rock had. He had help, sure, but he worked his ass off also.

You say that like he got everything handed to him though. Look at all the other wrestlers who had family connections, are any of them as big as the Rock is?
Edit- good point Beef, lol

Doubt this. There's no young male actor who comes anywhere near close to star status of most of those women.
