How much did aamir earn?
Wow awesome
not sure, but i heard that Aamir earned around 150cr. from PK (fees + Share in profit) , take 5cr. for snapdeal ad. & 3rd season of SMJ was also there…. so how he is not in his list??
wow king akki is everywhere. congrats akkians
SRK is behind 100% by Akshay. Akshay is the big Star.
@Mohammad, the only respectable thing about you is your name, other than that looks like you don’t have even Brain to use or what..??…ranbir is in the list but no Aamir and Hrithik, so use your Brain, dear!!
actually srk is one of those who don’t even give a damn to things like fee or others, which might be the reason for this!!

bhaijaan !
Where are losers SRK FAN.
Aamir khan isn’t in the list…oh man..!! i respect aamir khan and that is the reason….he did dhobi ghat after mega blockbuster 3i…why? Because money isn’t everything for aamir khan…after blockbuster pk he also can do masala movies for money…but he isn’t doing it…respect! Respect! Respect!
@Indicine Please A Post About Salman Khan’s Song In Hero…
#MainHoonHeroTeraComingSoon
Is Now Trending In India…..
SRK has his own company so he isn’t paid like Salman and the others. Plus he only had one film in that period unlike 2 of Salman and the multiple films of Akshay. SRK is the richest overall though, he topped forbes previous 2 years’ highest earning indian celebs list.
Anyways, all these actors are super rich, why should it matter to us? LOL
Akki sir rocks truly special actor of Bollywood . I have hope Srk Sir will back bang with Dilwale , Fan , Raees .
this is d worst article ever @indicine plz this is nt at all related to anything beside knowledge only….money never decide stardom
And among the 227 crores that salman has earned , at least 50% will go to charity , respect man.
I am a akshay kumar fan,good to see him at the 9th position,he has been earning big money every year,i think he is doing 3-4 movies per year just for the sake of money,,he is a great actor,he should only do content driven movies like baby,holiday,special26. anyway I am really excited for brothers
Bakwass article… i think indicine u do not have something to post that’s y u posted such a bakwas article and plz display my msg…
How do these actors make so much money if some of their films don’t make that much and they can’t take every penny made from the film
My favorite Hollywood actors
Jonny Depp and will Smith
I love too much ‘Captain Jack Sparrow’ and also Will Smith’s character’J’ from MIB.
Congratulations to bhojpori super star. But SRK is way better than this old sand
SRK and Aamir do less films compared to other Actors.Otherwise SRK and aamir would have Topped the bollywood List.
Where r hrithik and Ajay ? The legends :P
Also Aamir ?
()No where in earning list all of these .
()No where in google top search actors all of these .
()hrithik and amir r not even in movies nowadays :P
And Akshay Kumar everywhere ..!
Akshay Kumar iz a far bigger brand then these 3 without A doubt ..!
@Revanth it’s not only on the basis of movies …Actors earn a lot from brand endorsements , events and reality shows too ..!
this list is bullshit
robert downy all the actors above including amitab and
salman khan paid 33 million dollar yet srk is second richest actor in the world
Ha ha ha ha.KING KHAN is a producer HIMSELF,why HE’LL bag money to producers,ROFL.and KING KHAN also said HE’LL do films for free for only for ONE MEGALEGEND DIRECTOR—-YASHJI.
So what if salman charges more?????because if KING KHAN wish than HE can buy 10 salman khans at a time.ha ha ha ha after reading this comment surely sallu fans will feel RED CHILLIES in their back,ROFL.
Salman khan rd jr my fav
@Rew1!where are you hiding your face. This is called the real power of Bollywood. Your Ajay and aamir are even not in the 33 forget about top 10.
Salman in list bcoz of fraud
Veer producers Ha Ha Ha
From an actor paid a few thousands rupees for debuting films to the seventh highest paid actor in the world!!! Hats off to you, bhaijaan!
And the better thing is major portion of your income goes to charities…
