Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson elbowed out reigning top-ranked Robert Downey Jr. to become the world's highest-paid actor--and scored his biggest ever annual paycheck in the process.
Johnson's $64.5 million payday more than doubled his 2015 earnings, making him this year's biggest dollar gainer.
He's currently starring in the HBO series "Ballers," with the Disney animated movie "Moana" coming up next for him in November. And he wraps shooting this year on films with big paydays, including "Fast 8" and the "Baywatch" movie.
Last year's top earner, Robert Downey Jr., fell to eighth place with $33 million. That's a 59% drop. This is mainly because Mr. Iron Man had to split so much of the pie with the rest of the cast in this year's big Marvel hit, "Captain America: Civil War."
