George Clooney named Highest Paid Actor In Hollywood And The Money Is Not From Acting

Forbes has named George Clooney as the highest paid actor in Hollywood.
According to the annual ranking of Hollywood’s highest-paid actors, he has amassed a total of $239 million. Dwayne The Rock Johnson comes second with $124 million.
The 57-year-old attributes his huge money to selling his Tequila company Casamigos for $1 billion.
“We never planned on starting a tequila company. You know, we made Casamigos just for us to drink. Once we did launch the company, we thought, ‘Hey, if we could sell a bottle or two, great. If not, at least we still get to drink our own tequila. So, four years later when we’re offered a billion dollars to sell the company, yeah, we were kind of shocked,” Clooney told Good Morning America.
Jackie Chan takes the fifth spot with $45.5 million, making him China’s richest star.
