Robert Downey Jr still world's best-paid actor as Bollywood stars crowd top 10
Robert Downey Jr has topped Forbes magazine’s annual list of the highest paid actors for the third year in a row. The Iron Man and Avengers star made an estimated $80m (£51m) over the past 12 months, beating out fellow Hollywood behemoths such as Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper and Tom Cruise.
However, in a startling development, four out of the top 10 wealthiest male film stars now hail from outside Hollywood, according to the latest edition of the annual survey. China’s Jackie Chan and Bollywood stars Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar all finished ahead of established American actors such as Mark Wahlberg, Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp, The Guardian reports.
