Hindi film actors Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan have again booked their place among the world’s 100 highest-paid celebs while Shah Rukh Khan -- a regular on the list -- failed to find a place, according to a Forbes list. This year, the world’s highest earning celebrity is American boxer Floyd Mayweather. While Akshay is ranked 76th on the Forbes list, Salman Khan is on the 82nd spot. However, actor Shah Rukh Khan – a regular on the list – failed to find a place on the list. In 2017, he ranked 65th on the list, with earnings of $38 million.
According to the list, 50-year-old Akshay Kumar earned $40.5 million this year. Describing the actor, the magazine said, “One of Bollywood’s leading men has transitioned to socially-conscious roles, such as ‘Toilet,’ a comedy supporting government campaigns to improve sanitation, and ‘Padman,’ about a guy hoping to provide inexpensive sanitary pads to rural communities. He still mints millions from backend profits and endorsing some 20 brands, including Tata and Eveready.”
