What: Actor
How much: Rs 247 per minute


The King Khan, who started off modestly as a 'Fauji', made about Rs 13

Hyundai Santro - and of course, wetting himself in a bathtub,
surrounded by women for HLL's Lux.


Sachin Tendulkar

How much: Rs 1,163 per minute

India's most loved sportsman makes a lot more than most CEOs of Indian
companies, going by his annual remuneration for 2004-2005. Breaking
itdown, his three-year contract for endorsements is worth Rs 180
crores. He is also paid Rs 2,35,000 for a five-day test match and Rs
2,50,000 for one dayers.

How much: Rs 413 per minute

Head honcho of the $16.5 billion Reliance Industries Limited, Mukesh
Ambani was ranked the world's 56th richest man in Forbe's list. But
since this is only about salaries (and the like), we'll completely
ignore his other earnings. Last year, Mr Amb a ni earned Rs 21.72
crore; a neat growth of 87 per cent over his previous year's earnings.
He makes not less than Rs 413 per minute.


Amitabh Bachchan

What: Actor
How much: Rs 361 per minute

Kaun Banega Crorepati? Apparently, Mr Bachchan! With more endorsements
and film releases per year than successful actors half his age,
Bachchan's take-home last year was around Rs 19 crore - that's Rs 361
per minute.
