World's Reigning Top-Paid Actor Keeps His Title

For the third year in a row, Robert Downey Jr. holds the title of the world's highest-paid actor, according to Forbes' annual list—though it also includes some fresh faces. This year is different in that Forbes opened the rankings to include actors "working solely in international movie industries," rather than just foreign stars of US movies. While six Americans are in the top 10, three Bollywood stars also make the list, based on earnings for the year beginning June 2014, before taxes and other fees.

1. Robert Downey Jr., $80 million
2. Jackie Chan, $50 million
3. Vin Diesel, $47 million
4. Bradley Cooper, $41.5 million
5. Adam Sandler, $41 million
6. Tom Cruise, $40 million
7. Amitabh Bachchan, $33.5 million
8. Salman Khan, $33.5 million
9. Akshay Kumar, $32.5 million
10. Mark Wahlberg, $32 million
