George Clooney Tops Forbes’s Annual List Of Best-Paid Actors With $239 Million

Granted, most of this is not for movie roles at all, or even endorsements: it comes from the purchase by a conglomerate of a tequila business Clooney co-founded five years ago. (Forbes‘s list includes income from endorsements and other “extracurricular” activities.) At no. 2 with $124 million is Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who racked up the highest-ever income to come strictly from acting. (Unfortunately and predictably, the best-paid actress of the year earned much, much less.)
