In a minute...

What: Actor
How much: Rs 247 per minute

The King Khan, who started off modestly as a 'Fauji', made about Rs 13
crore last year. This included his endorsement deals for Pepsi, Hyundai
Santro - and of course, wetting himself in a bathtub, surrounded by women
for HLL's Lux. How much per minute?

#3....Sachin Tendulkar

What: Cricketer
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 it
down, 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.

A little bit of elementary math: This highest paid cricketer in the world
makes around Rs 61.15 crore a year, or Rs 1,163 per minute

How much: Rs 1.14 per minute

Before taking on the reins of this country, Dr A P J Kalam played a leading
role in the development of India's missile and nuclear weapons programmes -
so much so - that he's fondly referred to as the 'Missile Man'. In the
early
1990s, he served as scientific adviser to the government, and his prominent
role in India's 1998 nuclear weapons tests established Kalam as a national
hero. For all his work in his present capacity as President of the world's
largest de mocracy, Kalam draws an annual remuneration of Rs 6,00,000 or Rs
1.14 per minute.

What: CMD of Reliance Industries Ltd
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 Ambani 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.


#6....Amitabh Bachchan

Kaun Banega Crorepati? Apparently, Mr Bachchan! With more endorsements and

take-home last year was around Rs 19 crore - that's Rs 361 per minute.

An economist by profession, Dr Singh has formerly served in the
International Monetary Fund. His economics education included an

most educated Indian prime ministers in history, Singh also served as the
