has been named the most overpaid actor of 2017 by Forbes.
The 46-year-old actor was reportedly paid a whopping $68 million
this year, before taxes. His estimated salary for the year was over
$10 million more than the worldwide gross of his Boston Marathon
bombing film, "Patriots Day."
According to Forbes, three of Wahlberg's pre-June 1 wide release
films brought in $4.40 for every $1 he was paid to appear in
them. Among the films considered in this figure was "Deepwater
Horizon," which raked in $121.8 million - just over $10 million
more than the estimated $110 million it reportedly cost to make.
The publication added that neither "Transformers: The Last Night"
nor "Daddy's Home 2," both of which brought in more than $100
million, factored into the scoring because of their release dates.
British actor, Christian Bale was named the second most overpaid
actor by Forbes for starring in "The Promise," the worst-performing
wide release of 2017.
The film reportedly earned back just 11% of its $90 million
production budget.
Channing Tatum came in third, followed by Denzel Washington and
Brad Pitt.
