More essential than ever is that The rankings are based on estimates of earnings through professions and endorsements of celebrities and estimates of their fame for October 1, 2018, to September 30, 2019. Akshay Kumar is the highest-earning star from the country with Rs 293.25 crore, registering a rise of 58.51 percent from the previous year, but is placed at the 2nd spot, followed by Salman with the earning of Rs 229.25 crore.
Is it being surmised that Megastar Amitabh Bachchan and Indian cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni have been listed at 4th and 5th spots with earning of Rs 239.25 crore and Rs 135.93 crore, respectively? They have been followed closely by Shah Rukh Khan, who makes a comeback to the list, and Ranveer Sigh with the respective hauls of Rs. 124.38 crore and Rs. 118.2 crores.
If it comes to that Indian cricket player Sachin Tendulkar has been placed on the 9th with earning 76.96 crores. “There are 13 celebrities from the South this year (down from 15 in 2018) but their contribution to the cumulative earnings of the top 100 has increased to 12.57 percent from 11.26 percent in the previous year,” it said.
How is the earnings calculated?
For each celebrity, Forbes got independent estimates from multiple sources — talent management agencies, film and TV production companies, music celebrity managers, sports consultants and marketing agencies or brand marketers.
How is the rank calculated?
The rank is an aggregate of the estimated earnings and the fame quotient. Hence, some celebrities, who are scoring very high on fame, might emerge as ranking higher than those who have higher revenues but a poor fame score.
“In cricket, a whopping Rs 6.5 crore separates top men players from the women when it comes to the central contract. But when it comes to performance, there is no gap,” Brian Carvalho, Editor, Forbes India, in a statement.
The necessity of such lists has been dominated by men which itself tells a tale of the lack of pay parity across genders in every local film industry and in every sport. It is scooped, essential to know that Forbes India noted that in the top 100 list, there was an enhanced representation from the south Indian film industry which was considered from such sources.
