The Forbes' list of the world's top 20 highest paid actors 2017 was released yesterday. Bollywood makes its presence felt with Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar in the top 10. Surprisingly, Aamir Khan, whose film Dangal (2016) shattered box office records (it was a big draw in China too), is conspicious by his absence. The list of the highest-paid actors is based on earnings between June 1, 2016 and June 1, 2017.


Earnings estimates are based on data from media measurement and analytics company, box office collections besides interviews with industry insiders. Aamir detests talking about his earnings. Nor does he share details about his accumalated wealth. We assume this is the reason he does not figure in the coveted list.
