Top ten highest paid actors in the world

It's a male-dominated film industry and actors get a big share of the pie. However, it must be recognized that actors carry films on their shoulders. They are the ones who bring the audience to the cinema. Of course, they can also show emotions.

You have some of the best actors on this list. Naturally, this list is dominated by Hollywood for the simple reason that movies made in Hollywood are in a different league altogether. However, the Indian Bollywood film industry has started to make a name for itself with two top 10 nominees, one of whom is an all-time legend.

We take a look at the top 10 highest paid actors of 2022 in the industry. This list may only include the Top 10. Consequently, some of the best actors, such as Mark Wahlberg, may have simply skipped the bus. However, it must be admitted that the Top 10 highest paid actors at the same time are equally popular.

10. Shah Rukh Khan: $33 million

We have the Badshah of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan at number 10 on this list. One of the most romantic heroes ever to hit the silver screen, Shah Rukh Khan can make women swoon with just a wink. One of the few Indian actors who can fill the role of a villain with equal comfort, Shah Rukh Khan is known worldwide for his presence in the Indian diaspora. His films are always a hit in the US as well. A wave of endorsements boosted his earnings to $33 million.

09. Amitabh Bachchan: $33.5 million

If #10 belongs to Badshah, then #9 goes to Big B, Amitabh Bachchan. On the film scene since 1969, Amitabh Bachchan is on the threshold of half a century in the film industry. The biggest aspect of his abilities is that he has ruled the Indian film scene from the 1970s to the present. Even today, he can compete with young upstarts. A tall actor, he towers over everyone on the list. Considering the fact that Indian films don't have many audiences in Hollywood, he could easily top the list. At one time he was on the verge of bankruptcy, but a quiz, the Indian version of "Who wants to be a millionaire" (Kaun Banega Crorepati) saved him from paint. With $33.5 million in earnings, he is ranked 9th on this list.

08. Leonardo DiCaprio: $39 million

The Titanic star just won an Oscar after years of nominations. In eighth place we have one of the brightest actors, Leonardo DiCaprio. He had very humble beginnings as an actor before he had big success with Romeo + Juliet and Titanic. The audience also appreciated his roles in the films The Departed and Inception. He won an Academy Award for his performance in The Revenant in '8. With a 2016 million dollar income, Leonardo is in eighth place on the list.

07. Tom Cruise: $40 million

Sometimes providence really plays a big role in life. Otherwise, we wouldn't have seen the versatile performance of Tom Cruise, the #7 actor on our list. Tom Cruise wanted to become a priest, but ended up burning the screens with his amazing roles in Mission: Impossible. He also had a long film career, having been on stage since the 1980s. With an income of $40 million, he confidently occupies seventh place.

06 Vin Diesel: $47 million

Providence also plays a big role here. We saw how Tom Cruise almost became a priest. Here the bouncer becomes one of the best actors of the century. At number 6 we have Vin Diesel, a bright personality, by his own admission. Once a New York City nightclub bouncer, Vin Diesel (Mark Sinclair) has starred in several memorable films, such as Fast & Furious. This action hero impressed everyone with his toned physique. To date, his earnings are about 47 million dollars.

05. Johnny Depp: $48 million

In fifth place is Captain Jack Sparrow, Johnny Depp. One of the most versatile actors in the Hollywood film industry, Depp entered the film industry through a twist of fate. He was a ballpoint pen salesman. He met Nicolas Cage in California, who suggested that Depp take up acting. His first film was A Nightmare on Elm Street. However, his main path to fame is his portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean series. Earning $5 million, Johnny Depp is a respectable fifth on this list.

04 Matt Damon: $55 million

Matt Damon can be called a trained actor. Unlike the previous three actors on this list, Matt Damon came to Hollywood for one reason only. He wanted to become a successful actor. He also writes screenplays for one of his films, Good Will Hunting, which won him an Oscar. He played worthy roles in the films "Ocean 11,12, 13 and 55" along with George Clooney, Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt. His role in The Departed was also notable. With earnings in the $4 million range, Matt Damon is number four on this list of the top 10 highest paid actors to date.

03. Jackie Chan: $55 million

We have Jackie Chan from Hong Kong in third place. A very successful martial artist, people consider him a replacement for the indefatigable Bruce Lee. However, Jackie Chan is also a master of comedy, unlike Bruce Lee. He usually appears in martial arts films. However, he has distinguished himself with several successful commercial films such as the TV series Police Story. These films helped him step out of Bruce Lee's shadow and made Jackie Chan a successful actor in Hollywood. Jackie Chan, who earns around $3 million, is also a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador.

02. Robert Downey Jr.: $62 million

We have Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr. at No. 2. Born to parents who were industry legends, it's only natural that Robert Jr. also left a mark on film. He entered the field very early as a child artist. In his four decades in the industry, he has played many memorable roles such as Sherlock Holmes, Iron Man and The Avengers. He reportedly earns $62 million and ranks second on this sublime list.

01 Dwayne The Rock Johnson: $65 million

In first place we have Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who became famous in the WWE. He is a versatile actor and professional wrestler.
