Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has been named this year's highest-paid male actor in the world, according to Forbes.

The "Hobbs & Shaw" star raked in an eyebrow-raising $89.4 million between June 1, 2018, and June 1, 2019, thanks to a lucrative pay formula that includes massive upfront paychecks and a cut of the profit on his films. He also gets paid $700,000 per episode for HBO’s "Ballers" and earns seven figures in royalties for his Under Armour line.

He's followed up by two "Avengers: Endgame" stars: Chris Hemsworth at No. 2 with an estimated $76.4 million and Robert Downey Jr. at No. 3 with $66 million. Fellow "Avengers" Bradley Cooper, Chris Evans and Paul Rudd are also in the top 10.

Jackie Chan, Adam Sandler and Will Smith rounded out the top 10.

Last year, Johnson was No. 2 on the list, with George Clooney taking the top spot.

It's been a big week for Johnson who tied the knot just a few days ago.

The actor took to Instagram early Monday morning to post official pictures and reveal that he married his longtime girlfriend, Lauren Hashian, in Hawaii on Sunday.

"We do," he wrote next to the date along with some gorgeous pictures of the duo.
