12 Acting Salaries You Simply Won't Believe

1. Robert Downey, Jr. - Iron Man And The Avengers

Salary: $330 Million (At Least) It€™s fair to say that Robert Downey, Jr. has contributed a lot to the continued success of the MCU, and in return, he€™s been very, VERY well compensated. Much was made of the wide pay gap between him and the rest of his co-stars in the first Avengers; he made around $50 million, whilst Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth went home with around $2-3 million each. Even Downey, Jr. was said to be stunned by that chasm, so he made sure his co-stars got a big increase in Age Of Ultron. While everyone got a better deal, he still has them beat; he€™s estimated to have made a cool $80 million from Age Of Ultron and Captain America: Civil War. Just when you thought it couldn€™t get any more extreme, his deal for The Avengers: Infinity War Parts 1 & 2 should net him around $200 million. All of which means that when Downey, Jr. finally hangs up Tony Stark's armour, he should, at least, have some nice retirement money set aside.
