The 49-year-old actor according to Forbes is the highest-paid actor in Hollywood with a total earning of $75 million which is the same amount as last year.
Robert Downey Jr's success is largely because of his roles in Marvel's "Iron Man" and "Avengers" films which collectively have earned a cool $4 billion worldwide with an "Avengers" sequel set to be given a green light.

One of the writers at Forbes magazine stated that, "Downey reigns ... because at this point, it would be incredibly difficult for Marvel to continue making Iron Man and Avengers films without him."
At number five we had another superhero who also happens to be Robert Downey Jr.'s costar Chris Hemsworth. Chris Hemsworth who played the role of Thor in the "Avengers" series came in at No. 5 with an impressive $37 million.
