Taking to Instagram to discuss his achievement, the Fast and Furious star wrote: "I work extremely hard but never anticipated (in my wildest dreams) I'd become the highest paid actor in Forbes' history.

"I don't have a Harvard MBA, but my business philosophy and acumen has been sharpened over time and thru failure.

"My goal when I was wrestling in flea markets for $40bucks per match (well before the bright lights of the @wwe) is still the exact same goal I have today – ALWAYS put my AUDIENCE FIRST.

"I have one boss – the world. Send you home happy, and I've done my job. I'm the dude who started w/ $7bucks. I'm grateful to the bone and hungry to the core."

Dwayne, who has appeared in the likes of Baywatch and Jumanji, famously only had £5 to his name when he started his career.

The star, who will next be seen in Skyscraper,  later founded a production company called $7 Bucks Productions.

Other people to make the rich list include Keeping Up With The Kardashians star and make-up brand entrepreneur Kylie Jenner.

Her 166.5 million US dollars (£125.8 million) over the past year have put her in third place, a significant jump from 59 last year, her first time on the list.
