Robert Downey | $300 MILLION

Robert Downey Jr., or RDJ, is one of Hollywood’s highest-paid actors. For his role as Tony Stark in the movie franchise, Iron Man, we believe that he is well-deserving of his pay as he seamlessly takes on the part of the generous and hilarious superhero. By excellently portraying Tony Stark as a well-loved character by many, RDJ reached a net worth of $300 million. Indeed, he aimed to preserve his fortune by applying good money management.

Before he was slated to play as Iron Man, casting him was not on the cards because of his past and inability to do action movies. Still, director Jon Favreau and current Marvel Studios president and first Iron Man producer Kevin Feige wanted him to play the superhero because they saw RDJ’s potential. RDJ accepted the role and received a $500,000 salary. He made a $20 million salary from reprising his role as Tony Stark/Iron Man in Avengers: Endgame.
