Ford has played the titular Indiana Jones character for four decades and has amassed a great following and fame because of the franchise. His unique take on the action hero, combined with his relationship with George Lucas, has solidified Ford's earning power within the franchise and the entertainment industry at large. While the second and third installments saw dips in Ford's revenue, a ploy to get him out of retirement earned Ford a huge payout for Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Ford's revenue for each film is:

  • $5.9 million for Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark
  • $4.5 million for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
  • $4.9 million for Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
  • $65 million for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
  • $25 million for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

While most of his revenue comes from his salary, the higher payouts are from backend payouts contingent on gross sales, most notably seen in his payout for Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. After the success of the fifth installment, Ford's take-home pay may grow after Dial of Destiny.
