Amitabh Bachchan earns $33.5 Million

Amitabh Bachchan has bagged the 8th position on the list. However, when it comes to list of highest paid Bollywood actors, Big B tops the list. Kaun Banega Crorepati contributes majorly to his income. Even at 72, Big B has not had time to sit back and relax. He also has a number of big releases lined up for this year as well as for 2016. His upcoming film Wazir, directed by Bejoy Nambiar, is scheduled to release on Oct 2, 2015. In the film, Amitabh Bachchan has been paired up with Farhan Akhtar. Big B plays a physically-challenged man in the film

Salman Khan earns $33.5 Million

Looks like 2015 has been Salman Khan's year. The actor won accolades for his touching performance in Bajrangi Bhaijaan and has now been featured on the prestigious list. His last few releases such as Kick, Dabangg and Dabangg 2 had emerged as major blockbusters that shattered box-office records. Salman Khan's clothing line and production house also contribute to his fat paycheck. Apart from that, his stint as the host of Bigg Boss also adds to his bank balance.

Akshay Kumar earns $32.5 Million

Akshay Kumar had started his film career in 1992 and has never looked back. Films like Entertainment and Baby helped him rake in the moolah. His stint as the host of reality TV series, Dare 2 Dance, also helped him establish himself on the small screen and earn good bucks. He also has a huge line of products that he endorses, and this fetches him a good sum of money.

Shah Rukh Khan earns $26 Million

The King of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan, ranks 19th on the Forbes highest paid list. However, he has secured the 4th position in the Bollywood list. While last year, Happy New Year, helped him earn a whopping amount, this year's release, Fan, is also expected to recreate the magic at the box-office. SRK also makes money through his production venture, endorsement deals and the IPL.
