(TDB) - The sale of Hollywood heartthrob George Clooney’s Tequila brand Casamigos to drinks giant Diageo last year has made him the highest paid actor of 2018.

As reported by The Times, Clooney made a cool $239 million in the past 12 months, despite not appearing in a single film, beating second place former wrestler Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, who made $124 million.

Clooney earned more than all top ten actresses combined on Forbes’ annual list. The 57-year-old father of two sold Casamigos, the Tequila brand he co-founded in 2013 with friends Rande Gerber and Mike Meldman, to Diageo for $1 billion last June.

Diageo paid $700 million up front for Casamigos and will pay a further potential $300 million based on its performance over the next decade. “If you asked us four years ago if we had a billion dollar company, I don’t think we would have said yes.
