Bollywood biggies Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar have made the top 10 in Forbes' highest paid actor list.

It is for the first time that Forbes has included the actors who have worked outside the US movie industry, the BBC reported.

Meanwhile, Robert Downey Jr. topped the list as highest-paid actors for the third time in a row, thanks to the 80 million dollars he earned from his blockbuster flicks like 'Avengers: Age of Ultron'.

The 50-year-old actor was followed by actors Jackie Chan and Vin Diesel with 50 million and 47 million dollars respectively.

Daniel Craig was the only British actor to stand at number 15 jointly with Australian actor Chris Hemsworth.
