The entertainment industry is a competitive one, and actors often have to fight for the highest-paying roles. As of August 2021, Daniel Craig is the highest-paid actor in the world, with an estimated income of 100 million U.S. dollars. This is largely due to the fact that Netflix bought the rights for two sequels of the 2019 movie “Knives Out” earlier that year.
Craig is best known for his role as James Bond in the 007 franchise, but his other roles have also contributed to his success. He has starred in a number of other movies, including “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” (2011), “Spectre” (2015), and “Logan Lucky” (2017). He also appeared in the television series “Purity” (2016) and the miniseries “The Young Pope” (2016).
The second highest-paid actor in the world is Dwayne Johnson, with an estimated income of 87.5 million U.S. dollars. Johnson is best known for his roles in the “Fast and Furious” franchise, as well as in the movies “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” (2017) and “Jumanji: The Next Level” (2019). He also starred in the HBO series “Ballers” (2015-2019) and the Netflix movie “Red Notice” (2020).
Third on the list is Ryan Reynolds, with an estimated income of 71.5 million U.S. dollars. Reynolds is best known for his roles in the “Deadpool” franchise, as well as in the movies “The Proposal” (2009) and “6 Underground” (2019). He also starred in the Netflix movie “Red Notice” (2020) alongside Dwayne Johnson.
The fourth highest-paid actor in the world is Mark Wahlberg, with an estimated income of 58 million U.S. dollars. Wahlberg is best known for his roles in the “Transformers” franchise, as well as in the movies “Ted” (2012) and “Daddy’s Home” (2015). He also starred in the Netflix movie “Spenser Confidential” (2020).
The fifth highest-paid actor in the world is Ben Affleck, with an estimated income of 55 million U.S. dollars. Affleck is best known for his roles in the “Batman” franchise, as well as in the movies “Gone Girl” (2014) and “The Way Back” (2020). He also starred in the Netflix movie “The Last Thing He Wanted” (2020).
These five actors are the highest-paid in the world as of August 2021, but their incomes are likely to change over time. With the ever-evolving entertainment industry, new actors will rise to the top, and the best-paid actors of 2021 may not be the same in 2022 or 2023.
