Hindi Film Industry superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar are the only two Indians in the ’World’s 100 Highest-Paid Celebrities’ list - which was released by Forbes on Tuesday (12 July).
With earnings of $33 million (Rs 221.3 crore) last year, Shah Rukh Khan is ranked No. 86 on the list. This includes his earnings from films and brand endorsements.
Akshay Kumar is ranked at No. 94, with earnings of $31.5 million (Rs 210.6 crore). No other Indian celebrity featured in the World’s Top 100.
Forbes figures are said to be based on numbers from Nielsen, Pollstar, Box Office Mojo, Songkick, and IMDB, as well as interviews with industry insiders and many of the stars themselves.
American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift is the World’s Highest Paid celebrity with estimated earnings of $170 million (Rs 1140 crore) in the last one year. One Direction takes the No. 2 spot, with earnings of $110 million (Rs 737 crore), followed by author James Patterson at the third spot with $95 million (Rs 637 crore).
The annual Celebrity 100 ranking includes global talent from across entertainment, media and sports, with over one-third of the celebrities from outside the United States of America.
Two self made stars earning highest in the bollywood.and whats more satisfying is that only these self made stars are in list.This increases my trust on the phrase “hard work and determination are the key to success”.
Wow great achievement by the two selfmade superstars of bollywood… One is Khiladi & another is King… Cngrts to both of them…
@tiger the real dog
Buddy SRK is not only the most earned celebrity but also the only indian to receive UNESCO award for charity works… He never shows of like ur Salma who does charity only to increase sale of being human T-shirts
congradulate the two selfmade superstars.
finally congradulate the sulthan team,i underestimate the filim before relise and degrade it.i think it ve a 2nd grade filim,because the trailor not looking well.now,i find,its my mistake.salman is the biggest megastar of bollywood like rajani in tamil.
keep going salman sir,you are the real inspiration.
Both are self made superstars and have had no connection with industry. Today look where they are standing.
Beggars will keep barking in the comments section, that’s the only thing they can do.
@Tiger The real dog
Men do u have any sense or u r a sense less from birth ????
Forget about HUGE tax chori..if someone do little tax chori then also there are government officer who keep eyes on all the transaction
And u are so easily proving it with chutzpa logic….
SRK is an actor
Producer
Lots of brand endorsement
Owner of red chillies
Owner of VFX company
Owner of KKR
Owner of TKR

Kya baat hai

@8:53pm
Lol
True
@ANK you better not feel bad because Aamir has billions of fans worldwide which others can only dream for. Only indicine and some lifeless losers think in such shelow mind. Rather than feeling bad, you should actually laugh at stupidity of those who think such crap. Saying Aamir has less fans is same as saying that srk has 0 fan following. But there is a difference between truth and crap, opinions. If Aamir has less fans then how on earth no one is even close to him in box office? Do u have an answer? If not then just keep crying like a cry baby. No wed to feel bad for what life less losers think. Because regardless for what you think, Aamir has highest fan following worldwide. Get this in your head and stop feeling bad as if it’s a reality in your own mind.
Dilwale- averag.
Fan- Flop.
Still he is the most earned Bollywood actor.
Power of shadion ka thumka!!!

Stop comparing them, SRK & Akshay both are self made superstars and legends that’s it ! And now Salman fans, stop hating like this. Insulting others won’t make your star bigger, SRK and Salman are friends so there’s no need to carry on this stupid fan war. Love SRK and can’t wait for Raees !
Joker Boy is a Greedy Gobbar who can sign upto 10 crapfests a yr if he could get away with doing minimal shooting dates n promotional activities…! Nothing good about him taking all those acting fees then running away pre release watching the poor producers incur huge losses…!
Who’s fan here talking about respect not earning lol… the real chuha
@ tiger u haved proved that illiterate fan of salman using Randi word two selfmade superstar is insult of Bollywood . Even whole Bollywood respect both actor .
@tiger the real king.. Srk pays less tax dn salman.. That can also mean SRK does more charity dn salman so get more exemption.. And who earn more dosent mean he need to pay more tax there are other factors also der.. If you know anything about taxation.
Look At Srk and Akki fans they feel proud that their star earns highest last year compare to other stars, but they are big stupid and they should be shamed on themselves because they charge too high but their movies fails big time and distributors gets huge loss from their movies….they both only think about themselves…..We all know Srk is not an actor, he is a Businessman…and Akki do multiple movies so that he can earn more, he don’t care whether his movie is earning or not…..
On the other hand Salman who is not in this list, last year did 2 movies and the total collection of both the movies is 540cr in Domestic and 1050cr World Wide….And this year too his movie is become a huge money spinner and breaking all record of Box Office…..That’s called Megastar…
Akki is Mini Bollywood.
Respect akshay sir u r the best
#1MonthToRUSTOMsJudgementDay
I really wonder besides having an IPL team how can SRK earn almost equal to Non-holiday king AKSHAY….
I really wonder besides having an IPL team how can SRK earn almost equal to Non-holiday king AKSHAY….
And pay less tax every year than Akki.
That means SRK disclose fake deductions to his incomes.
@ANK
agree with ur emotions bro but what SRK is doing in this phase of compeition is not mistake, its a blunder. From choosing scripts to release dates of movies
Akshay Kumar Is The Best of Bollywood
Salman Khan is no 1
Srk amir together can’t do what Salman can do alone
Coincidently Both are self-made stars. Proud moment for all those commoners who dream big !
@ANK , nice comment bro….i too feel dt neither of dem r bothered abt dis so called d 1st,2nd n 3rd position …its just ppl ..nothing else …dey all r happy in their own place , working hard, n doing films.
Thats it …and looking at these comments on twitter n indicine n you tube …i realize dt dere is so much of hatred around d world …not jst in our country.
Stay happy every1, n keep working hard.
@ salman fan, Srk is a businessman. Joke of the year !!
@Illiterate Chuhe 8:45 pm : Similarly even criminals like “Dawood” and “Salman” earn money, it’s the respect which matters the most.
@Indicine : Kudos to your moderation! Keep rocking.
@Sky : Where are you dude? You were arguing with me as why I compared non-actor fans with auto-drivers. Now read the comment at 8:45 pm . It’s the same language used by bunch of auto-drivers who don’t do anything except chewing tobacco and using abusive words against each other. And this is just a small example, that too, it came when indicine has a strong moderation mechanism at place. Imagine the places where no such moderation exists. These auto-drivers will go till any extent.
Now , can I expect you to intervene and pass the same “Gyan” to these auto-drivers because being a “Randi” (or prostitute), too, is a profession. Or your “Gyan” is only limited to SRK and his fans???
@Indicine : Hope your strict moderation system will pass my comment without any filtration or amendment.
Sultan’s Collection will be = Collection of (Dilwale+FAN+Billu Barber+Jab Tak Hai Jaan)
Salman’s one movie collection = SRK’s four movies collection..
How can be SRK is a Superstar ??? LOLZZZZ..
Overrated thirdgrade actor SRK. Even Tiger Shroff’s stardom is now better than SRK .. LOLZZ
Shahrukh Khan earned money by working in movies.while others earned money by doing Mujra in wedding parties. Difference !!
KING SRK IS WORLD’S 2ND MOST RICHEST ACTOR.but akshay Kumar is not though I have respect for him.
@tiger-the real chuha,ha ha ha ha,abe ghodu when your bhabi gave income tax?90% of your criminal star’s collection are spending in court and jail,rofl.and don’t post some paid articles over here.and why to give income tax when KING SRK is giving highest charity than your ghodu non actor bhabijaan.check this
http://www.indicine.com/movies/bollywood/charity-shahrukh-donated-25-cr-salmans-being-human-donated-11-cr/
your bhabi only pays tax to corrupt govt. Who after eating 10cr tax shoes 40cr for you bhai.while OUR KING gives highest tax+highest charity,ab bol be.
Ha ha ha ha,tax chori ke liye phasi diya jaaye toh,logon ke upar gaadi chadane ke liye kya saja Joni chahiye,bata!!!!!we know that your bhabi is failing 7th time in a row on EID by failing to beat ATHG record,frustarte ke made kuch bhi bhonkega kya?chal nikal.
