These Are The Highest Paid Actors Of 2024

Business magazine Forbes once again delved into the incomes of Hollywood's biggest stars. And no, it's not just film roles that provide the highest paychecks. Smart deals and a good dose of charm play at least as big a role. Who will be crowned the highest-paid actor of 2024?

5. Hugh Jackman | €46 million

Hugh Jackman had his Wolverine role in Logan actually left behind for good, but for a good story – and an even better salary – he made a surprising comeback. Deadpool & Wolverine turned out to be not only a dream project with his friend Ryan Reynolds, but also a financial bull's eye…

4. Jerry Seinfeld | €55 million

At 70, Jerry Seinfeld could have taken it easy, but that's not exactly his style. His sitcom Seinfeld continues to rake in millions each year, and he still takes the stage himself with stand-up shows. During the pandemic, he wrote a satirical script about the invention of Pop-Tarts, which eventually led to the Netflix film Unfrosted, which he not only directed, but also played the lead role in.

3. Kevin Hart | €74 million

Kevin Hart probably had the busiest schedule in Hollywood in 2024. He starred in Borderlands, Lift en The Heart 2: The Hearter, had two ongoing series and presented the Tom Brady Roast on Netflix. As if that wasn't enough, he made a podcast for Spotify every week and stood on stage 90 (!) times with his stand-up shows. And that's not counting his advertising campaigns for DraftKings and Chase. It just goes to show; heart work pays off…

2.Ryan Reynolds | €78 million

Ryan Reynolds had a great year. As lead producer, co-writer and star of Deadpool & Wolverine, he not only provided creative control but also a financial windfall. The film grossed over £1.2 billion worldwide, making it the biggest live-action film of the year. And that’s not all: he also starred in John Krasinski’s IF , executive produced a new season of Welcome to Wrexham for Hulu and, according to some rumours, worked behind the scenes on the script for his wife Blake Lively’s new film, It Ends With Us .

1. Dwayne Johnson | €81 million

The Rock proves once again that he is not only a heavyweight in the ring, but also in Hollywood. For his role in Red one he collected €46 million, a record in the streaming world. And as if that wasn't enough, he managed to moana 2 to earn a share of the box office revenue as an executive producer – something that had never happened before for a voice actor for Disney. With a worldwide box office gross of over €920 million, it made for a lucrative year.
