Big B, Salman, SRK, Akshay, & Ranbir make it to the Forbes World's Highest Paid Actors list

We know that our Bollywood stars are minting money with their 100, 200 and 300 crore films. However, it is interesting to note that several of our stars have made it to the World's Highest Paid Actors list, even overtaking some of Hollywood's biggies.

The top 10 in the list are:

1. Robert Downey Jr. - $80 million

2. Jackie Chan - $50 million

3. Vin Diesel - $47 million

4. Bradley Cooper - $41.5 million

5. Adam Sandler - $41 million

6. Tom Cruise - $40 million

7. Amitabh Bachchan - $33.5 million

8. Salman Khan -$33.5 million

9. Akshay Kumar - $32.5 million

10. Mark Wahlberg - $32 million

There are also others in the list of 35. Shah Rukh Khan is at the 18th spot with a paycheck of $18 million and Ranbir Kapoor is at number 32 with an income of $15 million.

This list by Forbes measured earnings before subtracting management fees and taxes; figures are based on data from Nielsen, Box Office Mojo and IMDB, as well as interviews with agents, managers, lawyers—and stars themselves. Also, this is a special list for male stars only. Forbes is apparently conducting such a research for female stars as well, which will be published by the magazine soon.
