Robert Downey | $300 MILLION
Robert Downey Jr., also known as RDJ, ranks among the top earners in Hollywood. His portrayal of Tony Stark in the Iron Man series has rightfully earned him his high salary, as he perfectly embodies the charismatic and humorous superhero. This role significantly contributed to his substantial net worth of $300 million, and RDJ has focused on preserving this wealth through savvy financial management.
Prior to being cast as Iron Man, RDJ was not considered a likely candidate for action films due to his troubled past. However, director Jon Favreau and Kevin Feige, the president of Marvel Studios and the initial producer of Iron Man, recognized his potential. They chose him for the superhero role, starting with a salary of $500,000. His compensation escalated to $20 million for his return as Tony Stark/Iron Man in Avengers: Endgame.
