Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Akshay Kumar are the three stars who find a mention in the Top 100.
SRK is at the 65th spot with reported annual earnings of $38 million.
While stars like Jay-Z, Tom Cruise, Taylor Swift are much ahead of Shah Rukh, coming at the 71st spot is Salman Khan, with earnings of about $37 million.
Surprising considering that Salman's box-office track record has been relatively better than Shah Rukh, whose films have largely underperformed.

Tubelight is an eagerly awaited film and with each passing day the curiosity around this Salman Khan helmed film is becoming bigger and better. Shah Rukh Khan has made a cameo in the film and one of the catch points of the film is to watch Salman and Shah Rukh together after so many years. Writer Director Kabir Khan in a Bollywood Hungama exclusive with Faridoon Shahryar shares his thoughts on the cameo of Shah Rukh and how he has had a long-standing relationship with SRK dating back to the Delhi days.
"I am not going to tell you anything about the scene because then it will be a spoiler but all I can say is that, I actually find cameos gimmicky. Even when a superstar comes in as a cameo I say was that really needed, does it help the film but when I was writing this character I just felt it was screaming for a superstar, because there is certain positioning of the character viz-a-viz Salman Khan. And If you need that position viz a-viz Salman Khan, how many people can do that? So we went to Shah Rukh, of course he is very close to Salman. He is also somebody I have known since college days. He had given me his college notes to study (Jamia). I cleared my masters in film-making with his notes. We were in same school. He was senior to me by 2 years. Gauri and I had been dancing partners in a production called Westside Stories. So we go back a long way. All these factors combined, he said yes immediately. Also it's a lovely character. It's a very pivotal scene in the film. In a certain way it sets off the process of Salman character of what he will do in the film. It's going to be a treat to Salman and Shah Rukh together on screen after 20 years. It's a beautiful scene. And I too am looking forward to the audience reaction to that part. I have left a little lull in that scene just for people to scream, shout, whistle and settle down before I go forward. I know what's going to happen in the theatre. It's going to be Mayhem when the two of them come together.
When in Paris, do as Indians do, reads Shah Rukh Khan's doodle from 1997.Shah Rukh Khan's doodle from two decades back has surfaced in a film critic-journalist's collection and is already set to go under the hammer at Osian's The Greatest Indian Show On Earth 2. If reports are to be believed, the artwork is expected to be auctioned for no less than a lakh rupees.
Along with SRK's 1997 doodle, the auction will also feature paintings of other Bollywood celebrities apart from vintage film memorabilia and publicity material. Shah Rukh's idea of France is beautifully laid out in the doodle. It features everything French, from Voltaire to the Concorde, from French kissing to L'amoure and the Eiffel Tower to the French Revolution. The sketch provides a unique insight into Shah Rukh's brilliant creative mind.
Along with that, it also has hilarious sketches like King Kong rescuing a girl by climbing the Eiffel tower while the girl is shouting the all-time favourite Bollywood dialogue, "Bhagwan ke liye mujhe chhod do and two stick figures of a couple with the caption, "Tu Mera Hero No. 1. The Jab Harry Met Sejal star has also made a point to name every illustration he has drawn. Well, it seems like SRK had doubts about his sketching skills. Osian founder-chairman Neville Tuli told Mid-day, "The rare sketch is more like a doodle-cum-drawing of Shah Rukh's visit to Paris. It provides a unique insight into the mind of a cinematic superstar in the making. The event is said to be held at a Bandra five-star on June 22.
On the work front, Shah Rukh is currently busy promoting his upcoming release, Jab Harry Met Sejal opposite Anushka Sharma and directed by Imitiaz Ali. He will next be seen in Aanad L Rai's directorial co-starring Katrina Kaif and Anushka.
