Shah Rukh Khan was the 8th highest paid actor in the world in August 2016, according to Forbes. Shah Rukh did not feature in the illustrious Forbes list in 2015.
This caused surprise in India because at the Indian—and not just Hindi-Urdu—box office Salman Khan, film actor had been no.1 since 2014 {beating SRK by a whisker}, 2015 and 2016 {beating SRK by a wide margin in both years}).
When asked Forbes to comment, they said that Shah Rukh Khan continued to rule not only through his box office collections with the lead role in the hit film 'Dilwale' and many others, but also earning multimillion-dollar upfront fees and a cut of the back-end for his efforts. He also cashes in on endorsement deals for dozens of brands most Americans have likely never heard of.
While Deepika Padukone was the only Indian actress to feature in top 20, leave top 10, SRK is not alone in the list. He is followed by other actors like Akshay Kumar on number 10, Salman Khan, film actor on number 14 and Amitabh Bachchan on number 18.

2024
Nov: The highest paid actors in India
Abhimanyu Mathur, “India's highest-paid actor charged ₹300 crore for one film, way more than Shah Rukh, Salman Khan, Prabhas or Rajinikanth,” Hindustan Times, Nov 20, 2024
Allu Arjun: ₹300 crore (reportedly seeking for Pushpa 2)
Rajinikanth: ₹250 crore (for Jailer)
Vijay: ₹250 crore (for Leo)
Shah Rukh Khan: ₹150-200 crore (for biggest hits)
Salman Khan: ₹150-200 crore (for biggest hits)
Aamir Khan (mentioned for comparison): ₹230 crore (for Dangal in 2017)
Hindustan Times noted: “There have been doubts about the veracity of Allu Arjun's ₹300 crore 'fees' for Pushpa 2… Allu Arjun has begun to forego a large portion of the signing amount in favour of distribution rights and profit share. This would mean that if Pushpa 2 manages to cross ₹1000 crore as predicted, trade experts say he stands to earn between ₹250-300 crore.
“This is how Aamir earned ₹230 crore for Dangal (due to the windfall from China)”
