Mark Wahlberg | Transformers: Age of Extinction

The popular movie actor Mark Wahlberg catapulted to fame in the ’90s when he performed as teen rapper Marky Mark. After his short-lived music career flunked, he dabbled in modeling. He has since transitioned into a journey man in Hollywood until he broke into the A-list after landing a series of leading roles in movies such as The Perfect Storm, The Italian Job, and the Ted film series.

Wahlberg reportedly pocketed $17 million for appearing in Transformers: Age of Extinction. It was also revealed that he got more once the profits came in, but that number remains unknown. Aside from being a high-profile actor, he is also a producer and businessman. Today, Wahlberg, along with his brothers, owns a burger chain called Wahlburgers. He also used his investment money to co-found a water company called Aquahydrate with fellow rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs.
