According
to
the
latest
report,
Forbes
India
magazine
has
released
the
names
of
top
100
celebrities
who
are
considered
to
be
rich,
famous
and
influential.
The
report
which
was
published
by
Indiaglitz
has
it
that
Thala
Ajith
who
is
placed
19th
and
98th
in
the
rich
and
influential
index
respectively
has
overtaken
the
likes
of
Rajinikanth
to
become
the
richest
Tamil
actor.
Superstar
Rajinikanth
is
placed
21st
in
the
list
of
100
richest
Indian
celebrities.
When
it
comes
to
his
popularity,
he
takes
the
89th
place,
quite
surprisingly.
Ilayathalapathy
Vijay
is
not
far
behind
as
he
has
been
given
the
slots
23rd
and
80th
in
being
rich
and
famous
respectively.
The
result
effectively
means
that
Vijay
is
more
influential
than
Rajinikanth
and
Ajith.
But
isn't
Rajinikanth
Asia's
second
highest
paid
actor?
Well
he
is,
but
thanks
to
fewer
number
of
movies
in
the
last
couple
of
years
coupled
with
the
Lingaa
issue,
his
wealth
has
taken
a
dip,
it
seems.
Vijay
on
the
other
hand
has
not
increased
his
salary
in
recent
times
and
accepts
less
or
more
similar
pay
cheque
for
almost
all
his
movies,
leaving
Ajith
to
lead
the
race
of
the
wealthiest
when
it
comes
to
actors.
