      You have Robert De Niro listed at $300 million before even Will Smith who is listed at $350 million and Tim Hanks and others. Is this a typo or an error in the listing?

      They are from Indian cinema dear. Read once about Shahrukh Khan, you will be impressed for sure. I never saw anyone did this much struggle and most importantly he himself predicted that “I will own the film industry” even in his early days of film career.

  23. Confoosed

    May 22, 2021 at 12:34 pm

    So, according to this list, the best way to be a wealthy actor, is to marry a billionaire…

    Not sure that should really be counted, to be fair, when the others have actually made their wealth through acting.
