Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar being featured on Forbes’ list of the world’s highest paid male actors is hardly a surprise. But this year, the actors made it to the top 10 of the list. Now that’s some serious moolah.
While Transformers superstar Mark Wahlberg leads big time as 2017’s highest paid male actor, having earned an estimated $68 Million this year, the Akshay-Salman-SRK trio have secured positions 10, 9 and 8 respectively.
Akshay stands at number 10 with an estimated income of $35.5 Million while Salman sits pretty at number 9 with $37 Million under his belt. SRK still stands tall as the king with an estimated earning of $38 Million this year.
Despite Tubelight and Raees not making big bucks at the box office, this is quite an achievement.
Others on the Forbes list are Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson at $65 million, Vin Diesel at $54.5 million, Adam Sandler at 50.5 million, Jackie Chan at $ 49 million, Robert Downey Jr. at $48 million, and Tom Cruise at $43 million.
