Robert Downey Jr. has been named the world's highest paid actor. The 48-year-old actor earned an estimated €57m in the 12 months from June last year, according to Forbes magazine's annual list of highest paid actors. Most of the 'Iron Man 3' star's earnings came from starring in 'The Avengers', as his contract saw him receive a percentage of the film's total earnings at the box office. The movie is the third highest-grossing film of all time and earned $1.5bn worldwide.
