Tony Stark – what a businessman.

Robert Downey Jr’s Marvel-man-in-a-can continues to make gazillions and gabillions of dollars after Iron Man 3 successfully defeated all opposition to be crowned the top grossing film of 2013.

Following its release in May this year, Iron Man 3 made a total of $1,215,439,994 at the box office worldwide, a huge chunk of money that helped it fend off the likes of Despicable Me 2, Fast & Furious 6 and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
