NEW YORK - "Transformers: The Last Knight" star Mark Wahlberg has outmuscled Dwayne Johnson to become Hollywood's highest-paid actor in the past year with a transforming income of $68 million, according to Forbes magazine.
The former rapper known as Marky Mark beat out "Baywatch" star Johnson, with $65 million, and Johnson's "The Fate of the Furious" co-star Vin Diesel, worth $54.5 million
The rest of the top five, released Tuesday, includes Adam Sandler, flush with a Netflix deal, at No. 4 with $50.5 million and Jackie Chan with $49 million.
The top 10 actors banked a cumulative $488.5 million — nearly three times the $172.5 million combined total of the 10 top-earning women.
All the data is from between June 1, 2016, and June 1, 2017, before fees and taxes.
Last week, Forbes reported Emma Stone is Hollywood's highest paid actress, based largely on her role in "La La Land."
Stone is 28 years old and earned $26 million in the past year alone.
Jennifer Aniston is second with $25.5 million, followed by Jennifer Lawrence with $24 million. Melissa McCarthy is fourth, and Mila Kunis is fifth.
