Forbes Magazine released its annual list of the richest entertainers around the world. This year's list featured four Indians — three Bollywood heavyweights and one famous athlete. No surprises there!
Forbes Magazine's "Celebrity 100" was released this month, and the list is always the talk of the town when it reveals its top 100 superstars who rolled in some serious moolah. Of course, pop music sensation Katy Perry tops the list of earners, having raked in a whopping $135 million. She's rich, yo!
We give you a roundup of the only four Indians to make it to the global list and the top position holders in Forbes India's list.

The man is rich and no one can deny it!

The scary thought of Salman Khan going to jail has us all holding our breath, but the superstar found his way out. Why? 'Cause he can, and because he is a superstar. He ranked in the same spot as Mr. Bachchan, also earning $33.5 million. The thought of a jail cell is not enough to stop this moneymaker!
