#8 Robert Downey Jr. – $80 million
Robert is everything for MCU, because of him none of the current superhero movies will have been made. Because of him and his awesome performance as the Iron Man, people started to like superheroes.
Us, the nerds, we owe him everything, because we get to see so many awesome movies.
For those who don’t know, RDJ (Robert Downey Jr.) is an American actor. He had a successful career in his youth, but because of a period of substance abuse he had to quit for a while.
But luckily for many of us, he regained his title and in 2000 came back on the small screen with TV series Ally McBeal, where he played Calista Florckhart’s love interest.
His performance was amazing, and for that he received a Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actor in Supporting Role in a Series, Miniseries, or Television Film.
After that a troubled period followed again, and in 2002, he finally achieved sobriety.
Today he is one of the most respected actors in Hollywood. He started in several movies that have each grossed over $500 million, and his paycheck continued to rise, until it reached $80 million.
Did I tell you that is the highest-paid actor in the world?
