Dwayne Johnson is 2020's highest-paid actor: See the full list

On Tuesday, Forbes published its 2020 list of the highest-paid actors and, for the second year in a row, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has landed the No. 1 spot.

Not only did Johnson snag the coveted top slot, he did so by a landslide -- earning an estimated $16 million more than the second spot, held by Ryan Reynolds.

The Forbes estimated figures are based on money earned between June 1, 2019, and June 1, 2020, which cuts into the beginning of the COVID-19 lockdowns, but still the actors on this list have raked in plenty.

One thing a lot of the men have in common, Johnson included, is Netflix. Many of them have signed very lucrative deals with the popular streaming platform -- some that reportedly carried an eight-figure paycheck.

The list appears to be more diverse than Forbes' 2019 highest-paid actors list, which had six white actors landing in the top ten earners in Hollywood.

Many names on the 2020 list have also made the list of highest-paid actors several times before.

Here are the Top 10 highest-paid actors of 2020:

  1. 1. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson: $87.5 million
  2. 2. Ryan Reynolds: $71.5 million
  3. 3. Mark Wahlberg: $58 million
  4. 4. Ben Affleck: $55 million
  5. 5. Vin Diesel: $54 million
  6. 6. Akshay Kumar: $48.5 million
  7. 7. Lin-Manuel Miranda: $45.5 million
  8. 8. Will Smith: $44.5 million
