Vin Diesel claims the number one spot as the top-grossing actor of 2017, bringing in $1.6 billion in global ticket sales, Forbes reports.

The 50-year-old actor has the eighth installment of the Fast and the Furious franchise, Fate of the Furious, to thank for making the big bucks, as well as xXx: The Return of Xander Cage. He's likely to continue his success with two more Fast & Furious movies that are in the works, a fourth xXx film and Riddick flick, Furia.
