How Much Does Your Favourite Star Earn?

There was a time when one could never gauge what kind of money our Bollywood stars made. They were paid in cash and sometimes in kind, too. You would be surprised to know that Amitabh Bachchan’s bungalow, Jalsa, was gifted to him (to save tax) by film-maker Raj Sippy in lieu of his performance in Satte Pe Satta. However, today’s scenario has totally changed. There’s no cash or kind – only ‘white’ money is what the stars get, which is very well accounted for. But then, who doesn’t know the kind of money Bollywood churns out today, making your favourite stars richer by a few hundred crores every year. Here’s a look at some of the highest earning stars of Bollywood.
