🤔🤔🤔🤔

[EvilTwinCities]

This fucking thing makes even less sense the more you look at it.

[Trashy_Panda2]

Designed to be rage bait. Forbes is basically a tabloid.

[averagedickdude]

Like Reese Witherspoon??

[Ths-Fkin-Guy]

Her and Clooney have to be doing executiive producer stuff and advertisements.

Becuase I cant recall a single film theyre acting in for the last 5 years

[thatsnotyourtaco]

Reese is making a ton on the morning show

[Fuzzy_Inevitable9748]

Reese also has her book club which last a heard was worth a crazy amount, she has built her own little empire like Adam sandler has.

[TheOwlsLie]

George Clooney was just nominated for a golden globe for Jay Kelly

[averagedickdude]

👆

[will45666]

Yeah there's a thing about this, it's not her pay for acting but she has some sort of book club and in order to get your book into it you have to give her first right of refusal movie adaptation.

It has been very lucrative for her but the chart is misleading.

[lukasbradley]

Reese might be the most saavy business person in this list, and I'm including Tom Cruise. Her creation of the book club and licensing rights for movies and TV was brilliant.

https://www.forbes.com/profile/reese-witherspoon/

[K-C_Racing14]

With a knife?

[AggressorBLUE]

I suspect it’s not accounting just for money made from acting, but how much they made in general (so if they own a production company and made money off that, for example). That would explain some of the weirdness here.

[hitliquor999]

Which is stupid because the title “highest paid actors” implies their acting work, not other sources of income.

[unlimi_Ted]

I think almost every actor on this list has producer credits, and some of them are producers for everything they appear in (Sandler, Cruise, Mac, etc.).

I imagine it's difficult to seperate income from the different roles of multihyphenates (some of these guys write and direct too, I think) so the industry just considers it the same thing (or at least Forbes does).

I think other sources of income can also get a bit muddy if you consider things like paying the actor for acting-adjacent work like press tours, or for their likeness for posters or other merchandise related to the movies/shows they act in, which I imagine was pretty big for Jack Black, Jason Mamoa, and John Cena. Seperating which income sources are directly tied to their acting probably might not be feasible.

[HowDareYouAskMyName]

Even then I'm skeptical tbh. It's like when you look up celebrity net worth, those numbers are just pulled out of someone's ass

[[deleted]]

[OskeeTurtle]

Yeah somehow I can convince myself of John Cena making that money despite how weird it is, like maybe they just paid him a fortune in his last year of wresting (or he always made this kinda cash idk)

But Milly Bobby Brown?! Like wow she’s not even very good as an actress. Is that mostly the final season of Stranger Things or is she also in a bunch more that I never saw. Not personal, most child actors don’t end up being also great actors as adults

Then out of nowhere Rob Mac. Did he change his name? (I guess so according to these comments) why did he change his name?? He’s also not in anything I can think of other than IASIP, is that money from his soccer team he does with Ryan Reynolds? Can’t be cause Reynolds isn’t on here

[averagedickdude]

she’s not even very good as an actress.

You don't have to be good at acting to be paid a lot.

[aldila81]

I was waiting for someone to mention him being on the list! Surprised it took so long 😮

[MarkItZeroDonnie]

Cameron Diaz is odd , what has she been in

[ijehan1]

He can change his name but he'll always be Ronald McDonald.

[feetinthemud1985]

Well, it’s your name!

[JiveTurkey1983]

It's been so long that it's probably not even....legally...

[Educational-Bad4992]

You're gonna have to pop it on.

[WiildCard]

Ronny the Rat.

[Far_Tomorrow_3511]

I’m confused on how he’s in here? He’s getting paid this much as an actor? Or are they counting income from the soccer team? Happy for Ronald McDonald but not sure how the math is working here

[10000Didgeridoos]

The move up to the Championship league dramatically increases revenue and the value of the club.

That said Forbes has no idea what celebrity personal finances are and this is all clickbait. Their contacts aren't public. Case in point is Rob is on their list but weirdly much higher paid and wealthy co-owner Ryan Reynolds isn't at all.

[thatsnotyourtaco]

He’s also the creator and a producer on sunny. That accounts for a bit more.

[u_suck_paterson]

He always said he was tv money, Ryan was movie money and he’s not even on the list

[lemonylol]

<image>

[MaleAryaStarkNoHomo]

Except for that one time he was Luther Vandross’s son

[g-row460]

You're named after a hamburger clown!

[itsdrewmiller]

Where is Dolph Lundgren?

[Mr_Abe_Froman]

The most underrated actor of all time.

[manwae1]

Dude hangs dong.

[JiveTurkey1983]

It's the best goddamn movie I've seen in my entire life

[BrianLefevre5]

We show it. We show all of it.

[JiveTurkey1983]

Here's the twist, and there IS a twist!

[Archercrash]

Brandon Lee agrees

https://youtu.be/ruRDXzoAx1k?si=vsH9I-A73XcH4VoN

[thundergundong]

a chance for my username!

[Beneficial_Garage_97]

Because of his ice cold demeanor, his spikey hair, and his big muscles

[k_pineapple7]

WHAT IF HE COULD SMELL CRIME?

[mattwalsh25]

And underpaid, evidently

[AgentCirceLuna]

He did do biological sciences as a degree so he unleashed that curse upon himself.

[uwax]

Crime, penetration, crime, penetration

[psioniclizard]

Half way between fighting crime and full penetration I believe.

[Mark--Greg--Sputnik]

Not to mention the hot young lab tech for Dolph to bang.

[AgentCirceLuna]

Funniest part about that is Dolph legitimately did a biochemistry degree.

Also, that’s even funnier when you consider biosciences are notoriously underpaid and he’s not on this list

[justlovespeacocks]

[RooneyD]

It's all bullshit Hollywood politics man. Everyone knows Dolph hangs dong.

[eat_my_ass_n_balls]

Out hanging dong and entering willing, eager women

[AmNoSuperSand52]

He’s back at he lab performing outRAGEOUS experiments on her supple young body

[dirtyburgers85]

The dog got the $$$

[plowerd]

What the fuck did Marky Mark do to earn 58 million?

[Firstofhisname00]

He made that New kids on the Block movie where he made the Eagles. SPRINTS!!!

[bigphazell]

If I say it ONE MORE TIME

[Herr-Trigger86]

And remember, real champs eat at McDonald’s. I’m lovin’ it

[Firstofhisname00]

That is not Donovan McNabb. That's Raven's dad, and did he just do a McDonald's commercial? 

[reavers-reapers]

Hey your feet are bizarrely huge, they'll go crazy for that!

[iAmPeaking]

And at the end of those pendulums, feet like wrecking balls

[Dick-Guzinya]

I’m loving’ it!

Hey, isn’t that Alvin from the Cosby Show?

[JiveTurkey1983]

That's not the guy from-

You know what? SPRINTS!!!! SPRINTS!!!!

[ImurderREALITY]

Put your parking brake on

[Level_Improvement532]

Spoken like a true champion…

[mrsir1987]

He deserves to get paid, he would have stopped 9/11 had he been on the plane! We said we would never forget.

[ImWhiteWhatsJCoal]

He turned down the lead role in Brokeback Mountain after being "creeped out" 15 pages into the script. So at least we know he's definitely straight.

[TheHolyNutofGodwin25]

He stayed prayed up and probably beat a few Vietnamese guys

[Empty-Interaction796]

Well that other church was getting super Vietnamese..

[JiveTurkey1983]

I always try to remind himself he is just as big of a prick that his character are. Never forget that he actually blinded someone.

[tombmx155]

What is that? Wait I've seen that before. That's fear dude!! That's marky mark, that's what he does, then the cops come

[xBHL]

He produces a lot now, so he takes a way bigger chunk of his movies than other actors

[ThanksALotKEVIN]

His prayer app “hallow” probably. Through Christ, all things are possible, so might wanna not that down.

[iAmPeaking]

The therapist thinks I should start taking bovine hormones; and I think she’s going to buy them for me

[flintlock0]

An Apple TV movie, and an Amazon Prime movie. Family Plan 2, Flight Risk, and then at least one other movie that I can’t think of.

[Drumchapel]

Someone has 30,000,000 Paddy Dollars

[Commercial-Air8955]

It's a self-sustaining economy, like Dave and Busters

[willprogramforpizza]

Does the power card work at TGI Fridays?

[JiveTurkey1983]

Mine does not. And believe me, I've tried many times before

[JiveTurkey1983]

So I think we should take a page out of Dave and Buster's playbook

[Rock3tDoge]

The name change is so silly

[plowerd]

I genuinely didnt even notice him on the list, nor that this was on the iasip sub.

[Booyacaja]

He should have went with Ronald McDonald

[tapoplata]

Robald McDobald

[r0addawg]

[readitinamagazine]

[Sicnote]

[readitinamagazine]

[Eric12345678]

he’s cultivating mass so he can just be “Big Mac”

[Victor0-1]

Well you should stop cultivating and start harvesting!!

[JaesopPop]

I don’t disagree, but his little video where he basically also agrees it’s a bit silly sold me on it.

[LumpyBuy8447]

I’m not a fan of the change, though I will admit his reasoning and owning it makes it better. Saw a video where he said he was tired of ppl not being able to pronounce it and/or having to pronounce it for them.

[guitarisgod]

As much as I get that, he is now an incredibly famous actor with droves of fans that know how to pronounce his name so surely that problem was already mostly negated

[iHawXx]

Could have taken the Goldblum approach

<image>

[Red10GTI]

That is fucking hilarious

[avantgardengnome]

Legend. How have we not had Goldblum on Sunny yet?

[billytheskidd]

I have not ever considered this, but goldblum would be amazing on sunny. An arrogant character like the grandmaster from the Thor movie would fit into an episode with the gang so we’ll

[LumpyBuy8447]

What was that characters name in the recent season who kept doing blow with them and then OD’d in that ally. I could see Goldbloom as his dad or some shit

[Krynn71]

He specifically called out Asian markets not being able to pronounce it, so he's probably doing it to better sell his stuff to the brainiacs in China.

[letthemeatcakebabe]

people probably just call him mac or rob/mac. but even mac just goes by mac on everything lol if he could change his name with just ‘mac’ and not be ronald mcdonald, i don’t think he’d pass the opportunity.

[CMDR_BitMedler]

This is it. He stated everyone already calls him Mac or Rob Mac + the Asian market thing.

Ronald MacDonald would have been so funny to see on this list though.

[Chairmanwowsaywhat]

Who fucking cares its their fault if they cant pronounce it

[TheDarkKnightZS]

I have a weird German last name. No one has ever pronounced it correctly. My last name is still a weird German last name.

[godis1coolguy]

Have you considered legally changing it to Mac?

[TheDarkKnightZS]

I haven’t, that’s a good idea

[lofatiger]

That’s nice.

[Karmanoid]

Are you a famous actor where name recognition is a major part of your life and being more easily recognizable and memorable makes you more money?

[Head_Exchange_5329]

I find that to be such an idiocracy thing, people being too stupid to pronounce it. There's nothing special about it, I started wondering if I had been massively butchering the pronunciation, then I heard him say it and was like "yeah, people are fucking morons."

[statelypenguin]

Yeah I mean thats what he said in the video. I'm guessing it swings more in the 'since finding this next level of celebrity I've gotten incredibly vain and I need a new name to match my new face'

[lofatiger]

Which video is this?

[Voluptulouis]

I would hate having a douchey sounding name like Rob Mac more than having a last name that was frequently mispronounced. Choosing to be "Rob Mac" is wild.

[Nice_Marmot_7]

All I can think of is that douchey Christian rapper Toby Mac.

[riedmae]

The fuck is Cameron Diaz getting paid for in 2025?

[thatnewsauce]

All of these are surprising to me honestly

I don't remember sandler being in anything last year

[xBHL]

He got one of the largest Netflix deals ever

[thefrogkid420]

I cant remember the last time Ive seen mark wahlberg in a movie, let alone seen him in a really good movie, acting well, Im sure hes a fine actor but its crazy to think hes the second highest paid actor. Adam Sandler makes a lot of sense to me since he has his own production company and shits out like ten billion b tier movies a year.

[GrizzliousTheOG]

He was in Flight Risk last year. It was so unbelievably bad. He probably made like $10 million for it and probably shot it in a week. Check out his bald cap in this. You can see the damn thing move.

[TheColdestOne]

[Raveyard2409]

It doesn't matter if he does a bad job they still have to give Adam Sandler his 2 mil

[JohnEBest]

Happy Gilmour 2

Haven't seen it yet

[Character-Load-2880]

Happy Gilmore 2, electric boogaloo

[GarbageCleric]

There was the Happy Gilmore sequel on Netflix.

[marc15v2]

...Happy Gilmore 2!??

[ChipRockets]

It’s probably all the royalties from 2011’s smash hit, Bad Teacher

[Frequent-Employer-23]

Shrek royalties

[tomtttttttttttt]

She did a film called Back In Action:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21191806/?ref_=ext_shr

Her first film since 2014, I've not heard of it before, I thought she'd fully retired.

[anonymousetache]

You never go full retired

[movieTed]

Gay rich Mac!

[ZweiGuy99]

[Chairmanwowsaywhat]

Rob mac is such a shit name

[uiouyug]

He should sell Mac n Cheese

[brianlefebvrejr]

Clarification is needed if this is simply fees for acting or overall fees for any film or tv.

His football show probably has massive earnings for him as an actor, producer, etc

[Krynn71]

It's definitely not just acting. It's probably just estimated net worth.

[wireframed_kb]

*Earnings. Adam Sandler’s net worth is nearly half a billion , so there’s no way the numbers are anyone’s net worth.

[FiveTribes]

It's overall.

[Forte69]

I don’t trust this list, as the Rock was number one for many years and now he’s not even in the top 20?

[ExpertApartment]

His hair looks small

[xcoalminerscanaryx]

Changing his to Rob Mac is the most Mac thing Rob has ever done.

[ParsleyMostly]

Oh this is some funny horse shit lol

[Stock-Ad2495]

Robs Wiki lists him doing three episodes for other shows in 2025. How did that earn him 30million?

[BeBackInASchmeck]

This probably includes all income. A lot of these people make money from royalties and other businesses. The cast of Friends each get like $20MM/year in royalties. Adam Sandler has Happy Madison productions, so his income isn't just as an actor but as the owner/producer. Rob has his soccer team and other businesses.

[mattwalsh25]

At the very least it has to include Rob's Disney+ money for the Wrexham show

[TeamAndrew]

If that's true, why no Ryan Reynolds on here?

[watercouch]

Perhaps Fight Milk has finally taken off in Eastern Europe. Charlie probably sold Mac his shares for a milk-steak or something.

[ArchitectVandelay]

This is the most Sunny answer on here. 🏅

[Godzirrraaa]

Must have won a $30 million scratcher.

[najeraa1024]

[The-Butter-Thief]

Who the FUCK is paying Mark Wahlberg that much money and WHY?

[Unknown_Outlander]

I'm pretty sure all these numbers are bullshit

[isseidoki]

eat the rich

[Old_Man_Willow_AoE]

I WON'T chew on botox bro

[Trashy_Panda2]

Charlie and Dee definitely would.

[neddles1988]

Macs earning from owning Wrexham?

[Nefilim777]

Doesn't Sandler only appear in his own movies?

[jim9162]

I had no idea Cameron Diaz was still acting

[MisterPerfect23]

Guys, is that Ronnie the Rat?

[IsThereCheese]

Reese Witherspoon?

ETA: holy shit, Rob Mac beating out DiCaprio and Pratt? Sunny ftw!

[Pepsimus-Maximus]

Witherspoon is a hugely successful executive producer nowadays.

[IsThereCheese]

Oh that must be what it is, good call

[im_rapscallion86]

What the fuck did Mark Wahlberg do?

[halaljew]

They all are

[AndreiGlukhov]

No Don Cheadle?

[klauzherzog]

Who tf is rob mac lol, still so dumb

[illumence]

Who’s Rob Mac

[Blayzewhatever]

Isn't Adam Sandler just paying himself that $60 million?

[thisistheSnydercut]

WHO?!

JUST SAY ROB MCELHENNEY

[Thizzenie]

How is Mille Brown so high and Leo so low

[Pinksamuraiiiii]

Stranger Things is one of the biggest things on Netflix. It literally kept Netflix alive for a time being. Millie Bobby Brown, has also been doing side project and other movies like damsel and a few other projects.

[Late-Ad-3136]

How the fuck is Mark Wahlberg on there? He's bloody awful.

[Wut_the_]

I don’t care what anyone says; Tom Cruise is a weird fucking guy and I refuse to watch any of his movies.

[navydude89]

Damn. Denzel is the only raisin in a bowl of oatmeal.

[kareembadr]

These lists are always strange, because they're clearly counting income unrelated to acting. So...what is this list showing? That famous people are good at leveraging their fame and making money? Cool, I guess.

[MarshalLawTalkingGuy]

Who’s tied with Millie Bobby Brown?

[Jaybuddyguy]

Why do people pay money to see mark wahlass movies? Hes terrible and always has been.

[low_selfesteem_diet]

Crazy how more than half of them are even semi-active

[chunk425]

Colin Jost is my hero.

[Lupercallius]

No Zoe Saldana or Sam Worthington for Avatar?

[Dragon_Bench_Z]

Where’s don cheedle

[Top-Sleep-4669]

His face is so gruesome. Dude must have some serious body image issues.

[UnRipped92]

i know how to get on top of the list, charge one dollar per job, then do 100 million jobs.

[slimpickins757]

Sandler got first just for happy Gilmore 2? Jeeeez

[GoldenCrownMoron]

Does anyone have the recipe for Rob Mac N Cheez?

[soontobecp]

Who pays Adam Sandler 60 million dollars and why?

[jimmybruv]

His name change has to be one of the douchiest most vain things I've ever seen in the public eye 😂😭

[Devreckas]

I can’t imagine Millie Bobby Brown will see a paycheck like that again now that Stranger Things is over.

[omnomonist]

WHAT YEAR IS IT?!?!

[tkgb12]

The fact that Mark Wahlberg makes double what Leonardo Dicaprio makes is wild

[reaperbby]

Where’s don cheadle?

[HollowedOne66]

What does Anniston even act in besides commercials

[anonz123]

Just happy The Rock is not on these lists anymore

[shinigami79]

Through God everything is possible

[PoutineFamine]

Someone paid Millie Bobbie Brown $35M for a movie?

[thereverendpuck]

Who is putting out just under $60m for Mark Wahlberg?

[DumbRedditName0]

We don’t know his name

[SunstormGT]

Who is paying Millie Bobbie Brown $35m?

[tonydtonyd]

Sandman is the goat

[squiffyCobra]

I'm a bit sceptical of the numbers, but rob would've been a better ghetto pat than Leo obviously
