Since the infamous rehab episodes that have plagued his career, no one has made a come back as great as Downey Jr. Because The Avengers was the third highest-grossing movie of all time and thanks to his Iron Man suit and his role as Sherlock Holmes, Downey Jr. is and will remain one of Hollywood’s highest-paid actors.

Apart from his stunning Audi A7 and his grand Bentley Continental GT, Downey Jr’s Acura NSX. Tailor-made for The Avengers, Downey Jr. now owns this ultra cool hybrid tat’s not even available to the public yet. Acura turned the new hybrid into a superb piece of kit – a palladium powered 80,000 TOHV 32 valve engine with titanium-forged block and nitrous fuel-injection system powers the car.

Channing Tatum $60M

Not just a pretty face, Tatum is also one of Hollywood’s smartest businessmen – when Tatum and director Steven Soderbergh self-financed the Magic Mike, the $7M made at the box office went into their bank accounts… not bad. Not happy just with the movie, Tatum is turning into a franchise with a Broadway show. So with a business-head on his shoulders and a shed load of cash, just what does Tatum keep in his garage?

A black Cadillac Escalade takes up one half whilst a gorgeous 60s Chevy Apache truck occupies the other. This oldie is capable of generating 450-bhp at 2500 rpm.

Hugh Jackman $55M

Jackman is perhaps best known for playing Wolverine in the X-Men movies. As Jean Valjean in Les Miserables he scored an Oscar nomination and helped the musical earn $438M on a mere $61M budget. Jackman is also an entrepreneur – with his Laughing Man Coffee and Tea Company, he donates all profits to charity.

Jackman like German, as he owns an Audi Q7 VW Jetta and a cool VW Campervan. He also owns a Range Rover.

Mark Wahlberg $52 million

Thanks to an offensive CGI teddy bear, Wahlberg made a fortune in 2012. Now happy acting in comedy-dramas with films like The Fighter, he’s been nominated for two Oscars. Expect to see bigger things as he makes it into his first blockbuster – the next Transformers.

Wahlberg drives a Porsche Panamera, a Cadillac Escalade and this rather handsome 500-bhp Bentley Azure.

Dwayne Johnson $46M

Dwayne Johnson is more popularly known by his ring name – The Rock. Destined to be a wrestler after both his father and grandfather’s professional wrestling careers, Johnson left his wrestling career behind after winning 16 championships, Johnson starting acting and landed his first role in The Scorpion King.

Thanks to The Scorpion King, Fast & Furious 6 and G.I. Joe: Retaliation, Johnson has now made it into the big league in Hollywood.

Like Johnson’s biceps, his ride is massive in this black Ford F150 truck. He aptly named her the “Black Gorilla”.

Leonardo DiCaprio $39M

DiCaprio managed to make the potentially hard sell adaptation of The Great Gatsby bring in a massive $250. Combine this with his other successes, including that little film with the boat, and you have a gentleman with more than just loose change in his back pocket.

The Titanic star is an eco warrior, as apart from the ubiquitous Prius, he also drives a Tesla Roaster electric car and this Fisker Karma hybrid. This green sports car features an Aluminium space-frame and is known for its elective ‘Eco-Chic’ interior, which involves no use of animal products. Not the faster sports car available, the Fisker Karma hybrid hits 60-mph in less than 6 seconds with a top speed of 125-mph.

Adam Sandler $37M

Known mainly for his quirky oddball characters, Sandler has recently provided the voices in animated films such as Hotel Transylvania. Thanks to the first Grown Ups, Sandler has raked in the money, and with Grown Ups 2 just finishing in the cinemas, he should have some free cash the throw his garage’s way.

Not exactly showing great automotive passion, Adam Sandler’s sole ride is this white Caddy Escalade.

Tom Cruise $35M

Risky Business, Top Gun, Days Of Thunder, Mission Impossible, Jack Reacher – all movies in which Cruise is driving a car or motorcycle recklessly. Let’s not forget his guest appearance on UK’s Top Gear alongside Cameron Diaz – after she set the lap record in the ‘reasonably priced car’, Cruise smashed it and nearly rolled the car. Off screen, Cruise is a real petrolhead and has a ‘need for speed’ (sorry, had to get that line in there) and owns some pretty impressive vehicles.

Apart from a private jet and a WWII Mustang fighter, Cruise also has to polish a Porsche 911 and a Bugatti Veyron.

Denzel Washington $33M

Washington is known as portraying both the good guy and the bad guy so well he was nominated for his sixth Oscar this year thanks to his performance in Flight. Although he took a cut to star in the movie, he did it in the knowledge a bigger cut could be had in the backend – the movie earned $162M on a budget of $31M… kerching! 

Washington owns a Range Rover and can be seen here taking on the hardcore task of grocery shopping.
