Ranking The World's 10 Highest-Paid Actors From Worst To Best

7. Akshay Kumar ($32.5 Million)

Place On List: 9th Place Akshay Kumar, one of Bollywood's best and most consistent movie stars, does it all: comedy, romance, action, very, very serious drama. He has become renowned in his home country for his ability to do pretty much anything (including his own stunts), and is consistently topping the box office with hit after hit. Oh, and he's a television host, too. The term "One Man Army" seriously applies to this guy. Kumar has appeared in over two hundred films across the span of his long and eclectic career, and his large monetary haul stems from the fact that he also usually serves as a producer (which pretty much ensures that a box office hit means a big payout for its leading man). As an an actor, Kumar has grown over the years and - despite a notable slump in 2009 - has managed to find his place once again as the King of Bollywood.
