As it turns out, returning to the Fast & Furious franchise
was a good career move for actor Vin Diesel.
The 48-year-old action star came in third on the Forbes
list of the world's highest-paid actors of 2015, having
earned a cool $47 million for his performance in Furious
7.
The pricy paycheck seems to have been a good
investment for Universal. Furious 7 is currently the fifth
highest-grossing movie of all time , with a worldwide
take of $1.51 billion.
Just above Diesel is martial arts superstar Jackie Chan,
who earned $50 million, and in the top spot is Robert
Downey Jr., who earned a staggering $80 million for his
work on the film The Judge. Just kidding, obviously it
was for suiting up as Iron Man yet again in Avengers: Age
of Ultron.
For the first time this year, Forbes took into account
leading men across the globe -- instead of just focusing
on Hollywood -- for a truly comprehensive look at the
actors who are earning the biggest paychecks. Because
of this, several Bollywood stars made their way onto the
list for the first time.
When Diesel isn't busy driving cars out of skyscrapers
into other skyscrapers or voicing awesome tree aliens,
he's spending his days playing Dungeons & Dragons.
The badass action star recently celebrated his b-day
with a gorgeous D&D themed cake.
