Another drunk master please.

Jackie Chan has more money than god. jesus. i didnt even know he did any movies this year. lol

People always forget that there's a market in China

 

[ViciousDS]

$60 million from skiptrace and kung fu panda 3 alone lol


holy shit

 

[LordOfLore]

wtf Jackie killing it
Rock makes sense but goddamn

8. Shah Rukh Khan – $33 million
10. Akshay Kumar – $31.5 million
10. Deepika Padukone – $10 million

I have no idea who these people are

5. Fan Bingbing – $17 million

Fan KILLIN IT

Fan played Blink in DOFP, right?

 

[Orkidea]

I would of assumed Leo to be on that list

 

[kswiston]

$60 million from skiptrace and kung fu panda 3 alone lol


holy shit

I think these lists usually count some of the previous year, so maybe Dragonblade and Monkey King 2 as well.

 

[hogendaz85]

Come on guys there are other film markets out there besides Hollywood. Just because YOU didn't see anything with Jackie Chan in it does not mean he wasn't in anything.

 

[pj]

"I started w/ $7 bucks. If I can overcome, so can you. "

I'm tall and handsome and so can you

 

[Bishop89]

How does Jackie make that much?
No seriously?

It must be all in China because I don't think Ive seen any movie with him in it, in the cinemas.

 

[kurahador]

Fan played Blink in DOFP, right?

Yeah. Being a token China casting is huge.

 

[jmizzal]

Go Rocky

Lol Jackie Chan making that money in China

 

[dramatis]

Fan played Blink in DOFP, right?

Yes.

She did a lot of other movies in China as well the past year, and she probably rakes in a good deal of her sum from advertising contracts. What she got paid for being Blink probably isn't as much as people think it is.

 

[SliceSabre]

Wow the top two males were entirely unexpected. I didn't even know Jackie Chan was still working, guess its all Chinese movies?

And dat pay gap between male and female, geeze.

 

[slightconfuse]

Jackie Chan

What????

 

[LordOfLore]

Yes.

She did a lot of other movies in China as well the past year, and she probably rakes in a good deal of her sum from advertising contracts. What she got paid for being Blink probably isn't as much as people think it is.

I know, but I've not seen her in much so I tried to recall a movie with her that released in Sweden.

Markets outside the US like India and China are huge but the movies almost never shows up outside them. We almost never get to see the movies that brings in so much money for them.

 

[Tom Nook]

Jackie at #2!

Went to IMDB, looks like there could be a Rush Hour 4. LOL @ Tucker

Jackie Chan has admitted that he was not interested in reprising his role as Lee. He says that he would only reprise his role if the script is good. Chris Tucker on the other hand, joined in not even looking at the script

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Jackie at #2!

Tucker got millions in back taxes to pay. He'll take anything.

 

[darkhunger]

They don't need to. Smaller budgets and gigantic domestic audiences mean they are profitable without having to work around the constraints of trying to appeal to international (especially western) audiences.

Even then the bigger Bollywood and Chinese movies are generally released regionally as well.

 

[Auto_aim1]

Wow didn't know The Rock was so popular. Also two Indian actors, nice!

 

[Line_HTX]

Dang, I might just take up on The Rock's offer and try Waffle House for the first time ever!

Huge congrats and The Rock is so awesome. It's like his character in Central Intelligence. Work out everyday for 6 straight years, hahaha

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

That discrepancy between male and female is something else..

Also, congrats to The Rock. He worked his ass off and seems like a great dude.

Is it? Don't male leads generally star in movies as the main star a ton more than female actors? What exactly is so shocking about this?

Agree on the Rock. Dude seems awesome and is rightfully getting paid for being a hard working guy. Also Jackie boy #2

 

[Striker]

The Great One.

 

[Professor Beef]

Tucker got millions in back taxes to pay. He'll take anything.

So he's the new Snipes?

 

[Alrus]

Jackie Chan is super rich but he's not worth 2 billions guys... Forbes estimated his net worth at 350m last year.

 

[melonrabbit]

Why is RDJ so low this year?

 

[Friggz]

People always forget that there's a market in China

i didnt forget, i just didnt think he did enough in china to make that much.

 

[Htown]

Rock, you started with 7 bucks... and a family that was already involved in the wrestling business. Come on now.

 

[Revolver]

Jennifer Aniston still collecting checks???

Those Emirates Airline commercials must pay big.

 

[Akahige]

I know the Rock works a fuck ton but I didn't realize he was that much of a hot commodity.

 

[LordOfLore]

I know the Rock works a fuck ton but I didn't realize he was that much of a hot commodity.

Remember that he's also signed on to be a DC villain so he'll enter the superhero market in a few years.

 

[kunonabi]

It's cray most of the females actors won't make the top ten male list.

Well outside of the top 3 none of them are really a draw at this point. It will be interesting to see if Lawrence stays at number 1 with the Hunger games and X-Men behind her.

Depp better hope the next Pirates is a hit.

 

[Zimbardo]

amazing to see The Rock topping the list.

i remember him first starting out in the WWF, and sucking so bad that he got booed as a babyface. you know you suck when you're trying to be a good guy and get booed more than the heel.

after that, he eventually moved on to become the best and most entertaining wrestling personality in the business ...to now topping the highest paid actors list ...beating out guys like Tom Cruise.

amazing to see his journey.

 

[Sanke__]

God I can't believe like half of those female actors don't make more money

 

[Tom Nook]

3. Scarlett Johansson – $25 million

Only 25mil? Marvel got a steal casting her.

 

[Professor Beef]

Rock, you started with 7 bucks... and a family that was already involved in the wrestling business. Come on now.

He still put in the work though. You can have all the help in the world and still flop.

 

[PushTheButtonMax]

@TheRock Dwayne Johnson Retweeted Forbes
Want to say two things about this.

I started w/ $7 bucks. If I can overcome, so can you.

Waffle House on me!!

 

[Htown]

Only 25mil? Marvel got a steal casting her.

She wasn't as big of a star back then, Lost in Translation aside.

She wasn't even their first choice for BW. Emily Blunt was.

He still put in the work though. You can have all the help in the world and still flop.

True.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

She wasn't even their first choice for BW. Emily Blunt was.

Well now I'm a little upset

 

[shintoki]

Chan has been making bank in China. Why do you need the west? It's the same with Fan BingBing

 

[wachie]

1. Dwayne Johnson – $64.5 million
7. Vin Diesel – $35 million

I see candy ass is in the dirt left by Dwayne.

 

[thenexus6]

My boy JC

 

[sixteen-bit]

I'd love to have Waffle House with Dwayne Johnson.

Same

 

[Bishop89]

My boy JC

 

[Lonestar]

For real I haven't seen a Jackie chan movie in forever

I was thinking this as well. It's an interesting feeling to know there could be 6-12 Jackie Chan films to catch up on. 62 years old, he's younger than I thought.

 

[MadmanUK]

10. Deepika Padukone – $10 million

Is this some Pokemans?

 

[NastyBook]

Jackie Chan #2 and hasn't spent a DIME of that getting Rush Hour 2 out on Blu Ray. Worthless motherfucker...

*salty af*

 

[pelicansurf]

Jackie Chan is super rich but he's not worth 2 billions guys... Forbes estimated his net worth at 350m last year.

If you google it, google says net worth of 1.75 billion, with source of Forbes. If you look at Wikipedia it says 350 mill. Forbes actual site says 350 mill as well. Wonder where they're getting that number from.

 

[3N16MA]

RDJ only needs a MCU film every couple of years.

 

[kswiston]

I wonder if this is the first time that white guys only nabbed 5 of the top 10 best paid actors spots (I would imagine the percentage goes up if we looked at #11-50).

Jackie Chan is super rich but he's not worth 2 billions guys... Forbes estimated his net worth at 350m last year.

Maybe people read 2B Yuan as $2B USD.

$350M is 2.3B Yuan.

 

[Bob Coffee]

the peoples champ putting in that work, daaamn. also wow at jackie chan, the dude is like 200 by now and still doing movies, crazy.

 

[SystemBug]

10. Deepika Padukone – $10 million

Is this some Pokemans?

What
