Dwayne Johnson is Forbes' highest paid male actor in the world

WATCH: Dwayne Johnson is Forbes' highest paid male actor

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has been named this year's highest-paid male actor in the world, according to Forbes.

The "Hobbs & Shaw" star raked in an eyebrow-raising $89.4 million between June 1, 2018, and June 1, 2019, thanks to a lucrative pay formula that includes massive upfront paychecks and a cut of the profit on his films. He also gets paid $700,000 per episode for HBO’s "Ballers" and earns seven figures in royalties for his Under Armour line.
