    By News X @sunriseradiouk

    Bollywood megastar Akshay Kumar (for the third successive year) has made it to the ‘World’s 100 Highest-Paid Entertainers’, released by Forbes.

    Akshay Kumar became the highest paid Indian actor and ranks 7th in 'The World's Highest-Paid Actors' 2018 list, joining the ranks of international actors such as Robert Downey Jr. and George Clooney. In the overall ‘World’s 100 Highest-Paid Entertainers’ list he is tied with Scarlett Johansson, securing the 76th spot with earnings of Rs 270 crore ($40.5 million) this year.

     

    Akshay Kumar has been described by Forbes as one of Bollywood's leading men, “who has transitioned to socially-conscious roles, such as 'Toilet: Ek Prem Katha,' a comedy supporting government campaigns to improve sanitation, and 'Padman,' about a guy hoping to provide inexpensive sanitary pads to rural communities. He still mints millions from backend profits and endorsing some 20 brands, including Tata and Eveready.”

     

    This year’s list features entertainers who represent 17 countries including U.S., U.K., Barbados, Portugal, Ireland, Brazil, Argentina, Australia, Switzerland, Canada, China, Mexico, Colombia, Germany, Spain, Greece and India.

     

    Akshay Kumar will be next seen in ‘GOLD’ which releases on August 15, 2018.
