Harrison Ford is one of the most bankable stars in the industry. His high profile in Hollywood is mostly thanks to two franchises:Star WarsandIndiana Jones. After decades of starring in these two mega franchises, the actor has amassed a fortune of $300 million as per Celebrity Net Worth.
WithIndiana Jones and the Dial of Destinyset to release soon, Ford’s wealth should have increased. After all, he’s the face of the franchise and it’s impossible to imagine aIndiana Jonesmovie without his protagonist. But apparently, instead of getting a salary hike, he took a whopping $40 million pay cut for number 5.
What Was Harrison Ford Paid ForIndiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny?
As per OK magazine,Harrison Fordreportedly made $25 million forIndiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. The magazine also stated that since the actor’s contract for the film was drawn up in 2016 so he would have been paid whether or not the film got made.

The site wrote:
“The studio secured Harrison in 2016, and they have to pay him no matter what. There are still a million specifics to nail down like the CGI to de-age Harrison and an incomplete script… The movie’s been plagued with problems from the start, and it didn’t help when Steven Spielberg quit as director for the first time in franchise history.”
The troubled history of the film perhaps reflects on its current poor Rotten Tomatoes critic scores. The movie currently has a 52% critic score after 29 reviews. Regarding Harrison Ford’s salary, $25 million might seem like a lot, but he was paid even more forIndiana Jones 4.

As per The Richest, for the firstIndiana Jonesfilm, calledRaiders of the Lost Ark(1981), the actor pulled in $5.9 million. Interestingly, he was paid less forThe Temple of Doom, the second film in the franchise. He took home just $4.5 million.The Last Crusadenetted him a slightly above payday with $4.9 million.
But it was the fourth film in the franchise that made Ford his biggest paycheck. Men’s Health reported that forThe Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, the actor took home a whopping $65 million. As such, it looks like the $25 million pay forIndiana Jones 5is a bit of a downgrade for him. But if the film sets the box office on fire and grosses highly, Ford could get a cut from the profits.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destinywill be released on 19 June 2025.
