Marvel: 15 Richest MCU Actors So Far

3. Robert Downey Jr – $240m

For a long while, Robert Downey Jr was the top dog in the MCU and it felt entirely justified. After all, it was on his immaculately tailored shoulders that the entire thing was built and he's proved himself more than bankable enough to justify the reportedly huge fees he gets for appearing every time.

He's now at the point where he can probably ask for whatever he wants from Marvel and get it, and away from the MCU he's also one of the most likeable, bankable actors currently working - to the tune of $240 in wealth, in fact. A healthy $48m of that came in 2017 alone, and that's with only one MCU appearance.

He won't be around forever in the MCU, but when he goes, he will have earned every cent.
