$32.5=207 crore
differene of 20 crores for 1 million
@ hrithik u are also give foolish fact about srk film carrier , Srk because of Dharma , Yash Chopra . Srk carrier is very consistent through his carrier His film Darr , Baazigar , Anjaam negative charector no one can do it . Everybody understand that srk has come without godfather in Bollywood . He is second richest actor in the world mystery will never unsolved .
@Iam Dhakkan because real superstar and real king khan aamir khan doesn’t go to weddings and begs money like the beggar srk does. Aamir is in his own league and is much more respected than your 2 take ka hakla star. Your haklu is the real chotu in stardom as well as height. Aamir doesnt do show off like wannabe king aka fake king sarookh.
@A Khan just shut up you Gobar fan your Gobar’s aukaat is nothing in front of real superstar Aamir khan. aamir is much much much much much much budger star than your floppy joker Gobar Flopshay Kumar. This is anti Aamir site. So they are doing all these cheap things. But your floppy gobar will need to take 10000000 births to achieve even half of what aamir and ajay have achieved. Your floppyshay will never achieve the stardom which his baap aamir has achieved. Aamir can buy 100s like chota mota star like Flopshay and Haklu.
THe most important is money that Salaman And Akshay gaining where is the SRK. Ha ha ha
You only pay them high because you know you will get higher returns.
Robert Downey Jr. is simply awesome. He made the Iron Man the coolest superhero of all time.
Nothing to talk about Amitabh as he towers em all. One Man Industry. No one before. No one After.
Salman is the phenomenon that has ever hit the screen of Bollywood. Even with a crappy director, half-baked script, ridiculous songs, I blink you miss actresssess, no festival holidays – he can still deliver 100 cr.
All the 3 deserves the amount they are being paid. Kudos!
@Hrithik……hahahahahahaha…….that was damn good..
the best one of the lot………”waiting in pluto”…hahahaha
the worst, ridiculous and most hilarious excuses are that of srk fans…
when srk succeeds most of the fans of other stars accept it….but majority of srk fans will never accept others success.
@sss: You seriously need doctor please go and take some treatment FORBES is not you SRK magazine and please remind you SRK when he came to mumbai SALMAN and his family feed him get your facts right.
@iamAKN: so what who asked you or what to not take money for a film? so its proved SRK is not worthy to get money being famous he will do movie for free thats what you want to say.
Akshay is in worldwide top10 that too in his bad phase.
Those dumb SRK fans who are defending SRK not being in top 10, saying that he is a producer, I’ll tell you something.
Have you people ever noticed that in every Red Chillies’ produced movie, Gauri Khan is the producer always?
This is because the rate of income tax on earnings of a woman is less than that of a man. To pay less tax on the money earned, SRK makes his wife Gauri, the producer of his film.
SRK is a true bussinessman, hats off!
SRK arrogantly admitted that he is greedy and selfish when it comes to money he admits he don’t share with others. Remember that the love of money is the root of all evil. That’s why career is failing and he has become a drunkard that’s where his money goes. In booze. 90% of the time he is inebriated.
@I am dhakkan : How many times you copy n paste same comment on same article ??? Jhoot chahe kitni baar bolo sach mein nahi badalta !!!!!!! Facts will remain facts, forgot those days when Srk was doing mujraas in NRI weddings just for money ???? Even a tawaif also earns money so no difference between her n your king !!!!!!!
@complan dadaji,salman’s complete properties is 1/10th of KING KHAN’S total wealth.if salman will took him to a bid then KING KHAN will the 1st person to buy him at once.after all KING KHAN also don’t want tobuy such talentless papa’s boy sallu who can’t even act nor can handle any work inside RED CHILLIES due to his illiteracy.so it’s better to buy an Arjun rampal rather than a non actor like lallu khan.better sallu will stay near shera and will do a film like hum shera ke hai kaun/him dilm de chuke shera ko,ROFL.as sunny leone also will not buy such wannabe virgin boy/girls,ROFL.
@anand_bhojpuri,nope.maximum income of sallu goes to drag cases in court and to hire biggest lawyers in India,ROFL.
@screw1,4 feet and 11 hit midget’s fan please don’t rant much.dedhphutiya is begging money of 4cr for sacred social shows for showing crocodile tears instead of giving those money to poors.KING KHAN attends weddings so as to give those sacred money as charity and HE invited by those rich families to get HIS BLESSINGS WHO actually don’t know who is tingu khan exactly?????so better you dedhfuttards better care about tingu’s perfaketionist on next year with out raju papa/brand Dhoom.otherwise again will cry that you did during last 2 decades as well during talash,ROFL.
One more thing all the money took by raju papa/brand dhoom by giving 10-15cr to tingu and rest huge with them.and they signed also tingu because tingu don’t require much money,ROFL.
@Naven! Why you are burning that much.
@JC : Thanks !!!!!! :-)
AKSHAY KUMAR INCOME IS 220 CRORES NOT 207.HOW CAN U MAKE A SUCH SILLY MISTAKE.

CBD exceeded my expectations in every way thanks. I’ve struggled with insomnia looking for years, and after demanding CBD like for the first time, I at the last moment experienced a complete nightfall of calm sleep. It was like a force had been lifted off my shoulders. The calming effects were indulgent despite it intellectual, allowing me to meaning off obviously without sympathies punchy the next morning. I also noticed a reduction in my daytime desire, which was an unexpected but allowed bonus. The cultivation was a bit lusty, but nothing intolerable. Whole, CBD has been a game-changer for my nap and solicitude issues, and I’m appreciative to keep discovered its benefits.
