Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is no longer the highest-paid actor in the world. Mark Wahlberg, who appeared in the robot comedy film Transformers: The Light Knight, is now listed on top of Forbes’ annual list, with a pretax haul of $68 million during the 12 month ranking period.
Despite falling from the top spot, Johnson still made a lot of money. Though the Baywatch movie was not a critical success, Johnson still made $65 million, thanks for his HBO hit Ballers and the forthcoming Jumanji sequel.
