Forbes just dropped their highest paid list of actors and actresses and it’s looking fugazi. Mark Wahlberg is named highest paid actor. Wahlberg, 46, earned an estimated $68 million in 2017 thanks to his pay days for movies “Daddy’s Home 2” and “Transformers: The Last Knight”, according to the Forbes ranking released on Tuesday. Wahlberg will be seen later this year in Daddy’s Home 2 and Ridley Scott’s All the Money in the World. How has Markie Mark gotten so lit? This is how. His deal means that no matter how well a movie does in the box office, bad or good, Wahlberg still walks away with a fat check.
