Forbes takes a lot of pain every year to reveal the actors and actresses who have walked away with the biggest paycheck. Even though one cannot think of the purpose behind this list, it is mind-boggling to see how much an actor earns in a year through various methods. This year, Forbes declared Dwayne Johnson as the highest-paid actor in the world. For those who follow this list closely every year, he was also the highest-paid actor last year. It looks like when it comes to earning; there is no one ahead of The Rock.
