The Forbes list of the richest actors of 2024 has been released, and with no surprise, Dwayne Johnson has again secured the first spot on this list. Hollywood’s most bankable actor, The Rock, has reclaimed his top position in the Forbes list of richest actors for the fifth time. Johnson’s massive earnings of $88 million in the previous year helped him beat out other Hollywood superstars like Ryan Reynolds, Kevin Hart, Jerry Seinfeld, and Hugh Jackman and reach the top of Forbes’ richest actors 2024 list.

The former WWE wrestler gave record-breaking projects in the previous year, including Red One and Moana 2. For the big box office blockbuster, Red One, Dwayne Johnson earned an outstanding sum of $50 million. The animated movie Moana 2, for which the actor was an executive producer, grossed over $1 billion at the box office and added millions to his 2024 earnings. However, this is not the first time that the Hollywood superstar has secured the #1 spot in the Forbes list of richest actors, as he has secured this rank previously in 2016, 2019, 2020, and 2021.

Ryan Reynolds and Kevin Hart Ranked Second & Third on Forbes List

Right after Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds has secured the second rank on the Forbes richest actors list 2024 with an impressive earning of $85 million. The Hollywood icon’s successful project of 2024, including Deadpool & Wolverine, which was the biggest live-action movie of the last year, contributed greatly to his impressive earnings. Reynold was a co-writer, star, and lead producer of this blockbuster action movie, which successfully grossed over $1.3 billion. Kevin Hart’s diverse projects, including Borderlands, Die Hart 2: Die Harter, Lift, and a standup comedy tour, helped him earn $81 million in 2024 and secure the third spot on the list. He was one of the busiest stars in the Hollywood industry this past year, and Hart’s per live show earnings were over $1 million.

Forbes’ Richest Actors 2024 List: Only 3 Women Ranked in Top 20

Among the top 20 richest actors of 2024, only three women were successful in securing their spots on the Forbes List, including Nicole Kidman, Mariska Hargitay, and Scarlett Johansson. Kidman, with her successful projects like Babygirl and A Family Affair, maintained her rank among the richest Hollywood actresses. However, Scarlett did not succeed in securing a rank among the top 10, but she became the youngest to secure a spot among the richest actors of 2024. The last year was pretty impressive for some other Hollywood icons like Timothee Chalamet, but they could not secure a spot on the list.

Dwayne Johnson’s Upcoming Projects in 2025

This year too might make The Rock secure the first rank in the Forbes list of richest actors 2025, as he’s coming with some hit projects, including The Smashing Machine and Martin Scorsese’s next film.
