He may be well past his sitcom heyday, but 60-year-old Jerry Seinfeld is the richest actor in the world.

The 鈥楽einfeld鈥� star is worth an estimated $820 million, according to a report by the financial firm Wealth-X.

Seinfeld has earned at least $400 million thanks to off-network syndication deals for his sitcom 鈥渁bout nothing,鈥� Wealth-X said in its report released on Wednesday.

Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan was second on the list at $600 million, followed by Tom Cruise ($480 million), Tyler Perry ($450 million) and Johnny Depp ($450 million). Jack Nicholson, Tom Hanks, Bill Cosby, Clint Eastwood and Adam Sandler rounded out the top 10.

Women were included in Wealth-X鈥檚 net worth calculations, but none of them managed to crack the top 10.

Wealth-X, an ultra-high net worth intelligence and prospecting firm, compiled its Hollywood and Bollywood Rich List by examining the fortunes of the wealthiest TV and movie stars in the United States and India.
