Story highlights

Wahlberg made it to the elite Forbes list after the magazine estimated he earned $68 million before taxes over the past 12 months. ??

Mark Wahlberg has been named by Forbes magazine as the world's highest paid actor after the rapper-turned actor hit the jackpot with Transformers: The Last Knight" and comedy sequel "Daddy's Home 2," due out in November.

The 46-year-old star made it to the elite Forbes list after the magazine estimated he earned $68 million before taxes over the past 12 months.

"The former may have scored a miserable 15 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes and the lowest gross of the franchise to date, but Wahlberg need not worry -- fixed compensation means he benefits even when movies don't do well," said Forbes.
