Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan or Akshay Kumar: Guess who is highest-paid Indian actor?

New Delhi: Well, the much-awaited Forbes' 2017 list of highest paid actors was recently released and you will be amazed to know that three Indian stars -  Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar – have reportedly made it to the top 10 spots.  

The rankings are based on the data collected over a period of 12 months starting from June 1, 2016. It is being said the superstar Shah Rukh Khan is leading the race of B-Towners with earnings of $38 million. He is followed by Salman Khan ($37 million) and Akshay Kumar ($35.5 million). The trio took the 8th, 9th and 10th places, respectively.

Shockingly, Aamir Khan - who delivered the biggest hit in the history of Bollywood last year - failed to rank amongst the top 10 highest-paid actors of the word. 

If you have been wondering who topped the list, then let us enlighten you a bit more. Mark Wahlberg, the year's highest paid actor, earned an estimated $68 million in 2017, as Forbes announced on Tuesday.

According to Forbes, the top 10 actors banked a cumulative $488.5 million--nearly three times the $172.5 million combined total of the 10 top-earning women. While only three actresses made more than $20 million in 12 months, 16 actors broached the mark.
