In the 2017 ranking, he lost the lead to George Clooney. The Rock's profit was even higher at the time - $119 million - but Clooney made about a billion dollars from the sale of the tequila company.

Consolation to Johnson can be the fact that this year Clooney did not even get into the top ten.

The calculations take into account the total earnings of the actors, including money for advertising, and not just the fees for shooting.

Johnson, for example, advertises, among other things, the sports company Under Armor.

Last year, he starred in The Fast and the Furious - Hobbs & Shaw and Skyscraper, and also served as a producer on Fighting My Family and Shazam!

This year, a new film with his participation, Jumanji - The Next Level, is coming out, which also stars Kevin Hart and Jack Black.

Chris Hemsworth, who earned 76,4 million dollars, took the second place in the list.

For the first time since 2015, Bradley Cooper returned to the top ten, having acted as an actor, director, co-writer and producer of the Oscar-winning film A Star Is Born. Cooper took sixth place on the list, earning $57 million.
