Highest Paid Movie Actors of 2016. Part 3
Movie actors make more money in one year than most people earn during their lifetimes. Let’s take a look at the top 4 highest paid movie actors of 2016.
Matt Damon — $55 million
As Matt Damon grows older and farther from his Good Will Hunting role, his paychecks are getting bigger and bigger. Even his famous buddy Ben Affleck makes less money than he does. He is still working on Jason Bourne movies, which he now produces and gets huge bucks for. Another recent high-paying job for Damon was The Great Wall.
- Jackie Chan — $61 million
Jackie Chan is doubtfully one of the greatest actors of the past century. He is almost 63 years old and his acting is not getting any worse while his salaries are soaring through the roof. He lent his voice to a character in Monkey King: Hero is Back, worked on Skiptrace and Dragon Blade, became another voice for Monkey in Kung Fu Panda 3. The list goes on and on and so do the zeroes on his paycheck.
- Dwayne Johnson — $64.5 million
The Rock keeps conquering the world with his charismatic characters that often don’t have anything to do with his wrestling career. Fast 8 got him a very nice paycheck as well as his work in San Andreas. He still appears in the WWE events, such as WrestleMania. Johnson stars in the HBO comedy Ballers.
- Kevin Hart — $87.5 million
Kevin Hart is not only an actor; he is a very successful stand-up comedian. His paycheck is more than $20 million bigger than Dwayne Johnson’s. Hart manages to sell out huge stadiums when performing his act. He also finds time for movies, such as Ride Along 2 with Ice Cube and Central Intelligence with Dwayne Johnson. Hart lent his voice to the bunny in The Secret Life of Pets.
