7. Amitabh Bachchan – $33.5 million
Via urbanasian.com
A surprising newcomer on this list is Amitabh Bachchan. If you haven’t heard of him, you’re not alone. Bachchan is a huge star in Bollywood, India’s booming film industry. When it comes to box office sales, Bollywood films bring in far less than American ones. However, Bollywood earns much of its revenue by selling satellite rights to TV channels. For every movie he’s in, Bachchan gets a cut of the ticketing revenue. That’s no small fortune: Bachchan has appeared in more than 150 movies during his 50-year career. He is also the host of the popular Indian version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
