Highest paid male actors: Forbes just released its much-anticipated list that reveals which male actors received the biggest paychecks in 2015.

They expanded their search to include foreign actors making top dollar in film industries around the world. Some of the highest-earning actors may not have appeared in any American films, but they’re making millions in India’s Bollywood.

For the third year in a row, one man has held on to the number one spot with an iron first (hint, hint). The actor in second place might surprise you because he’s been out of the spotlight for years, at least in the U.S. The actor in fifth place might also come as a shock, considering a few of his recent films were total flops.

A few people on this list have not only starred in big-screen blockbusters, they have produced them as well. Regardless of whether it’s a single-handed success or a multi-faceted effort, these stars are making heaps of money. According to Forbes, these are the top 10 highest paid male actors of 2015.

 10. Mark Wahlberg – $32 million

Mark Wahlberg is taking the big screen by storm. Ted 2 will likely be his biggest source of income this year; the movie has grossed an estimated $168 million. It’s the sequel to Ted, a comedy that stars Wahlberg as the owner of a trash-talking, potty-mouthed teddy bear. The original film grossed a jaw-dropping $549 million, on a $50 million budget to boot. His production company, Closest to the Hole Productions, is responsible for some successful projects that surely supplement Wahlberg’s income. Wahlberg was the executive producer on HBO’s longstanding series “Entourage” and the recent film adaptation. His company also produces “Ballers,” another HBO series starring Dwayne Johnson.
