Ford's highest grossing film is 2015's Star Wars: The Force Awakens . The movie grossed over $2 billion worldwide, and it's the fourth highest-grossing film of all time. The Force Awakens also led to Ford re-entering Forbes' list of the highest-paid actors in 2016 . The actor made about $15 million for starring in the movie.
However, Ford's biggest payday ever comes from a different film. The actor earned an astounding $65 million for 2008's Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull.
