George hasn’t been in any movies this year, but he made $233 million from the recent $1 billion purchase of his ‘Casamigos’ tequila brand. Clooney also received more money from his endorsements and older movies.

George made a total of $239 million, which easily put him #1 on the annual Forbes list of ‘The Highest Paid Actors.’  Number 2 on the list, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is a distant second with $124 million.
