Salman Khan And Akshay Kumar In Forbes 100 Highest-Paid Celebs In The World List Bollywood actors Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan have booked themselves a place in Forbes magazine's list of 100 highest-paid celebrities in the world. If one is Bollywood’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan then, the other one is known as Khiladi Kumar. Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar are among the world's 100 highest-paid entertainers, according to a Forbes list that is topped by American boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. While Akshay is ranked 76th on the Forbes list of the World's Highest Paid Celebrities 2018, Salman is on the 82nd spot. Interestingly, Shah Rukh Khan, who is a regular on the list, has failed to find a spot for himself this time. PADMAN star, Akshay Kumar has earned $40.5 million this year. According to a magazine, “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.” For TIGER ZINDA HAI star Salman Forbes said, “This Bollywood mainstay continues to produce and star in hits such as ‘Tiger Zinda Hai,’ cashing in on backend profits. Coupled with a slew of endorsements from Suzuki motorcycles to Chlormint gum, he remains one of India’s top earners.” Forbes said the world's 100 top-earning entertainers pulled in a combined 6.3 billion USD (Rs 43,025 crore) pretax over the past 12 months, up 22 per cent from last year and 11 superstars crossed the 100-million-USD threshold, more than double the number from the last two years combined. Mayweather has topped the list with $285 million earnings and actor George Clooney proudly stands at rank 2. Reality TV star and businessperson Kylie Jenner stands at rank 3 among Cristiano Ronaldo, pop star Katy Perry, tennis icon Roger Federer and singer Beyonce.
