Vin Diesel has been named the highest-grossing actor of 2017, earning $1.6 billion throughout the year. Next to him on the list is his "Fast and Furious" co-star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson with $1.5 billion.
Diesel's career has reached new highs this 2017. Aside from the success of "The Fate of the Furious," he also became the latest addition to the "XXX: Return of Xander Cage" franchise. Both films raked in billions at the global box office, allowing him to make a total of $1.6 billion for the entire year.
Despite the box office flop that "Baywatch" was, Johnson still managed to become the second highest grossing actor of 2017. His releases this year allowed him to pull in $1.5 billion, but that certainly won't be all, as his latest film, "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle," is still showing in theaters worldwide.
