Adam Sandler is the Highest-Paid Actor of 2025: Forbes List Revealed

Adam Sandler has been named the highest-paid actor in Hollywood for 2025, according to Forbes, earning approximately $48 million. His earnings primarily came from starring in and producing "Happy Gilmore 2" and appearing in "Jay Kelly" alongside George Clooney. However, his income is lower compared to Dwayne Johnson, who topped the list in 2024 with $88 million. Tom Cruise ranks second for 2025 with $46 million, largely due to the success of "Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning." Following him are Mark Wahlberg with $44 million, Scarlett Johansson with $43 million, and Brad Pitt with $41 million. Wahlberg earned most of his income from "The Family Plan" and "Play Dirty," while Johansson starred in "Jurassic World: Rebirth" and "The Phoenecian Scheme," also making her directorial debut with "Eleanor the Great." Pitt appeared in "F1," which received an Academy Award nomination. The top ten is completed by Denzel Washington, Jack Black, Jason Momoa, Daniel Craig, and Millie Bobby Brown, who at 22 years old, became the youngest actress to make the Forbes list. In total, the 20 highest-paid actors earned $590 million, a decrease of about 20% compared to the $730 million in 2024.
