In the year 2019 that was far behind, the stars did not yet know what a forced stop of filming due to the threat of a pandemic was. They tried as best they could and delighted our hearts with new films, and their wallets - received royalties. We decided to compile a photo list of the highest paid Hollywood actors in 2019 and introduce viewers to those stars whose fees are the envy of a huge number of equally famous celebrities.
Charlize Theron - $ 23 million
- "Devil's Advocate", "Head in the Clouds", "Monster", "North Country"
Charlize Theron is one of those actresses who have been adored by more than one generation of viewers. Her 2019 salary was $ 23 million, and not many can achieve such results. It is worth noting that this is a great success, given that Charlize's last major fee dates back to 2016, when Theron took part in Snow White and the Huntsman 2.
Paul Rudd - $ 41 million
- Living with Yourself, Ant-Man, It's Good to Be Quiet, Baby Moon
The actor managed to earn 41 million dollars in 2019, and such fees can be the envy of seasoned Hollywood stars. The Marvel Universe is a lucrative place, and "Ant-Man" knows this firsthand. Most of his income consists of a percentage of the successful distribution of the last part of "The Avengers".
Ellen Pompeo - $ 22 million
- "Catch Me If You Can", "Grey's Anatomy", "Slaughter Service", "Strong Medicine"
It would seem that the peak of Ellen's career came in the late 90s - early 00s, but interest in the actress returned after her participation in Grey's Anatomy. Thanks to the series, as well as the fact that Pompeo is engaged in dubbing popular cartoon projects, the woman managed to earn more than twenty million dollars in 2019. Ellen also received part of her income for her role in the new series "Fire Station 19".
Dwayne Johnson - $ 89.4 million
- Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, Amazon Treasure, Fast and Furious 6, Walking Wide
The famous Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has rightfully earned his place among the highest paid women and men in Hollywood. This actor is ranked fifteenth in the list of the richest celebrities. According to Forbes, Duane's total revenue was nearly $ 90 million in 2019. He is one of the few Hollywood actors who manage to act according to the "20-20" scheme - the actor receives 20 million for his participation in the film, and after the film's release on the big screens he is entitled to 20 percent of the profit in the box office. Each episode of "Footballers" brings the actor another 700 thousand dollars, and he earns a decent income from his own clothing line.
Will Smith - $ 35 million
- "The Pursuit of Happiness", "Ali", "Men in Black", "I Am Legend"
Will Smith continues our photo-list of the highest paid Hollywood actors in 2019. He did not make it into the top 10 richest Hollywood stars in 2019, but that did not stop him from replenishing his gold reserves by $ 35 million. Of course, there were more successful times in the actor's career, but in general, many of his stellar colleagues can envy Smith's result.
Scarlett Johansson - $ 56 million
- "Jojo the Rabbit", "Another Boleyn Girl", "The Horse Whisperer", "The Marriage Story"
In 2019, Scarlett became one of the highest paid actresses. She earned a total of $ 56 million. Participation in "The Avengers" brought Johansson considerable income, and given the fact that Scarlett is now "on horseback", she may require large fees for projects with her participation.
Sofía Vergara - $ 44.1 million
- "Blood for Blood", "American Family", "Dirty Wet Money", "People in the Trees"
The American Family star received over $ 44 million in 2019. The series, most likely, will "feed" Sofia for a long time. The rest of the projects, in which the actress took part, are not so popular and highly paid, but, as you know, “the ruble saves a penny”.
Chris Hemsworth - $ 76.4 million
- The Avengers, Nothing Good at El Royale, Race, In the Heart of the Sea
