He may not be a billionaire like his iconic character Tony Stark from Avengers: Age of Ultron, but Robert Downey Jr. still made a superhero-worthy salary this past year.

Forbes released its list of 2015's highest-paid actors, with Downey coming in at the top spot with a massive $80 million earned between June 1, 2014 and June 1, 2015. This is Downey's third year in a row as the highest-paid actor.

Coming in behind Downey was martial arts legend Jackie Chan and Fast and Furious star Vin Diesel, who earned $50 and $47 million, respectively. This is also the first time that Forbes has included actors who were working in solely international movie industries, resulting in Bollywood stars Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Kha, and Akshay Kumar joining the list.

The 34 highest-paid actors in total earned a whopping $941 million combined, before taxes and fees.
