Salman Khan, Amitabh Bacchan on Forbes Rich List. No Shah Rukh Khan

Bollywood stalwarts Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni are among the world’s 100 highest-paid celebrities, according to the Forbes’ annual list which is topped by by American boxer Floyd Mayweather. The Forbes 2015 list of ‘Celebrity 100: The World’s Top-Paid Entertainers 2015′. has been topped by Floyd Mayweather with earnings of 300 million dollars. Breaking into the elite global club, Amitabh Bachchan and Salman Khan are tied for the 71st rank with earnings of 33.5 million dollars each. Coming in at the 76th spot is Akshay Kumar with earnings of USD 32.5 million. Dhoni is ranked 82nd with earnings of USD 31 million dollars. Notably neither India’s biggest superstar Shah Rukh Khan, nor any woman celebrity from the country has made it to the list. Forbes, which releases the Celeb 100 list every year since 1999, said given the profound changes in the entertainment world, it changed its methodology and for the first time, made the list “truly international: instead of using US-centric power metrics, we’re simply ranking the world’s 100 highest-paid celebrities, regardless of nationality. “The result is a more accurate reflection of the current entertainment landscape, a 21st century reality where Bollywood’s biggest stars (Salman Khan and Amitabh Bachchan, USD 33.5 million apiece) earn more than some Hollywood A-listers (Leonardo DiCaprio and Channing Tatum, USD 29 million apiece),” Forbes said.
