Make it rain! Robert Downey Jr. cracked the top 10 of Forbes' annual Celebrity 100 list of the world's highest-earning entertainers once again.

For the third year in a row, Robert Downey Jr. tops the list as the highest earning actor with "a career-high $80 million payday." That's due in large part to playing Iron Man/Tony Stark in Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron. In 2013 and 2014, Robert Downey Jr. topped all actors with $75 million in each year.

Among all entertainers, Downey Jr. ranks eighth, tied with Taylor Swift, "whose best-selling album 1989 moved 3.7 million units in 2014." Shake it off, Iron Man! You'll just have to be content with a T-Swizzle draw.
