It’s finally Friday (and payday for many of us) so just in case you were feeling too good about your pay cheque and planning a big weekend, check out how much this actor was paid over the past 12 months.

Forbes has announced that for a second year in a row, Robert Downey Jr. has topped the list of highest paid actors.

The publication, which regularly ranks who’s making top dollar, estimates that Downey earned roughly $75 million between June 2013 and June 2014, putting him at the top of its highest-paid actors list for the second year in a row.

Forbes calculated that Downey earned $75 million in 2013 as well.

Forbes says part of the reason for Downey’s lucrative income is his “Iron Man” status. He’s played the Marvel hero in three high-grossing, stand-alone features as well as in the 2012 blockbuster ensemble movie “The Avengers.” Come 2015, he’ll suit up as Iron Man again for the “Avengers” sequel, “Age of Ultron.”

At this point, Forbes says that “it would be incredibly difficult for Marvel to continue making ‘Iron Man’ and ‘Avengers’ films without him.”

Coming in at number 1 is an achievement on it’s own, but becoming Iron Man himself is how you sustain that top spot and secure a regularly sizeable income.

Good job, Rob!
