Bollywood actors Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan secure place in the year 2016-2017 list of Forbes's 100 highest paid person. Shah Rukh with his earnings approximately $38 million, Salman Khan with $37 million and Akshay Kumar with $35.5 million occupy 65, 71 and 80 position respectively.
A Forbes senior member said, "Though the members of Forbes’ Celebrity 100 this year earned about the same as they did last year -- just over $5 billion in total -- the way they're earning is changing. Streaming platforms from Spotify to Netflix are finally creating meaningful income for entertainers, something that seemed a distant dream only a few years ago."
Also, Virat Kohli too made his name to the Forbes’s list of the world’s 100 highest-paid athletes. He was ranked at No 89 and earned $22 million.
