China's biggest movie star got a boost from back-end participation on \"Dragon Blade,\" which featured him in a starring role alongside Adrien Brody and John Cusack (the film grossed $120 million in China), and enough brand extensions to make Jay Z jealous. His empire includes a line of Chan-branded merchandise, a Segway dealership and an eponymous cinema chain. Later this year, he'll voice a character in \"Kung Fu Panda 3\" and star opposite Johnny Knoxville in \"Skiptrace,\" an east-west coproduction that counts Chan as an investor. \"I don't want to follow everyone,\" Chan told Forbes.

Tom Cruise has defined the role of agent Ethan Hunt in the \"Mission: Impossible\" movies and has been able to maneuver himself into earning a ton based on how the blockbusters perform at the box office. He earned an estimated $40 million in profit from 2012's \"Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol\", which grossed $694.7 million at global ticketing booths. Cruise owes this year's paycheck to his upfront fees for 2015′s \"Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation\" and last year's action flick \"Edge of Tomorrow.\" [-]

Bollywood stalwart Amitabh Bachchan has starred in more than 150 movies in his 50 year career. He continues to earn top rupee for his roles in flicks such 2014's \"Bhoothnath Returns.\" Though Indian movies gross far less than U.S. films at the box office, they recoup costs by selling satellite rights to TV channels. But unlike the U.S., where first dollar gross deals are a thing of the past, Bollywood stars such as Bachchan continue to earn a cut of each film's ticketing revenue.Bachchan bolsters his earnings as the longstanding host of India's version of \"Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?\" (\"Kaun Banega Crorepati\"), which aired its eighth season in 2014.

One of India's biggest star, Salman Khan has appeared in some 80 movies since his 1989 breakout role \"Maine Pyar Kiya.\" Khan continues to produce and star in films, earning well for roles in flicks such as 2014's \"Kick.\" He also appears on the small screen hosting reality show \"Bigg Boss,\" the Indian version of \"Big Brother.\" Khan's Being Human clothing line clocked $30 million in 2014 revenue, with proceeds going to his foundation.He makes bank endorsing other brands including Thums Up (India's Coca-Cola) and Suzuki. Bollywood's bad boy has long been trailed by controversy: In 2006 he was convicted of poaching an endangered gazelle on a 1998 hunting trip, while in May 2015 Khan was sentenced to five years in prison for a 2002 hit-and-run car incident which killed a homeless man. Mumbai's High Court has suspended his sentence while he appeals his conviction. [-]

Mark Wahlberg is banking off the back of 2015's teddy bear comedy \"Ted 2,\" which grossed a reasonable $168 million. His 2012 \"Ted,\" which followed the trials of a crass talking teddy bear, grossed $549 million on a $50 million budget. Wahlberg returns as the main character, John, while screenwriter and executive producer Seth MacFarlane voices the coarse soft toy. Wahlberg's paycheck is supplemented with roles in 2014's flop \"The Gambler,\" which grossed just $39 million on a $24 million budget, and \"Transformers: Age of Extinction,\" which performed far better. His company produced the \"Entourage\" movie; it's latest HBO offering is Dwayne Johnson's football comedy \"Ballers.\" [-]
