Who Would’ve Thought: These Actors Made More Money Than Will Smith In 2019 ‘Forbes’ List (via GlobalGrind)
It’s safe to say that there’s plenty of money in Hollywood. Major studios and production companies are still dishing out millions of dollars to leading men like Will Smith, who they know will draw in crowds. However, you might be surprised that actors who aren’t necessarily as popular in America today are still getting Will Smith money. In fact, some are receiving more than Will Smith.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson tops the list, collecting $89.4 million between June 1, 2018 and June 1, 2019. Much of his profits come from the upcoming Jumanji: The Next Level movie, for which he received an upfront salary of $23.5 million. Johnson also received up to 15% of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle‘s box office pool — or the cash left over after some but not all of the bills are paid. To put this into perspective, Welcome to the Jungle had a worldwide box office of $962.
Another person who beat out Will Smith is Indian actor Akshay Kumar who came in at No. 4 on the list with $65 million.The Bollywood star brings in major dough — at least USD $5 million and up to USD $10 million per film. His latest movie Mission Manga, one of India’s first space movies, was a major success.
