As per Forbes, both Hollywood and Bollywood male actors earn a lot more than their female counterparts and the box office receipts show us why. Taking about the Hollywood list, the magazine said, “The top 10 actors banked a cumulative $488.5 million – nearly three times the $172.5 million combined total of the 10 top-earning women. While only three actresses made more than $20 million in 12 months, 16 actors broached the mark.”
And the same pattern can be seen in B-town as well. To be precise, Deepika Padukone earns about 30% of SRK’s total pay. It goes without saying that we are proud of both PeeCee and Deeps and everyone who made it to the list!
