Virat Kohli has taken the first spot followed by Akshay Kumar at the second spot in the brand value study. This year's Celebrity Brand Valuation Study 2020 by Duff & Phelps is here. And as per the study, amid the pandemic and the world facing major financial loss, several celebs have faced the impact. The list has Indian skipper Virat Kohli at the top with brand value at $237.7 million. Kohli saw a tiny increase in the brand value from that of $237.5 in 2019.

Shah Rukh Khan, who was on a sabbatical, took the fourth spot with valuation of $51.5 million. However, it is Deepika Padukone's name in the list that is quite a surprise.

As per the study, the brand value of a celeb is based on the brand endorsements they have and their earning potential from it. It further said that this in turn is dependent on their endorsement fee, their films, their social media following and presence, the controversies they get embroiled or stay away from.
