Johnson, also known by his ring name 'The
Rock', earned $87.5 million from June 1, 2019 to June 1, 2020,
Forbes said, including $23.5 million from Netflix Inc to star in
movie thriller "Red Notice." He also benefited from his 'Project

Ryan Reynolds, who co-stars with Johnson in "Red Notice," came
in second in the Forbes ranking of male stars. He earned $20
million for that film, plus another $20 million for Netflix
movie "Six Underground," the magazine said, part of his $71.5
million total for the one-year period.
Actor and producer Mark Wahlberg, star of Netflix action comedy
"Spenser Confidential," finished third with $58 million. Next on
the list were actors Ben Affleck with $55 million and Vin Diesel
with $54 million.
Akshay Kumar, the only Bollywood star in the top 10, landed in
sixth place with earnings of $48.5 million. Most of his income
came from product endorsements, Forbes said.
Rounding out the list were "Hamilton" creator Lin-Manuel
Miranda, actors Will Smith and Adam Sandler, and martial-arts
star Jackie Chan.
The figures are pre-tax and do not include deductions for fees
given to agents, managers and lawyers, Forbes said.
