Shahrukh Khan, the King of Bollywood, has now added another feather to his cap by topping the Hurun India Rich List. In a remarkable achievement, Shahrukh Khan has outshone Bollywood legends like Amitabh Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, and Karan Johar in terms of wealth. With a staggering net worth of ₹7,300 crore, Shahrukh has become the richest actor in the Indian film industry.
This accomplishment is largely attributed to his business ventures, particularly his ownership of the IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders and his production company Red Chillies Entertainment. These two ventures have significantly boosted his wealth, making him not just a superstar on screen but also a mogul off it. Shahrukh’s earnings from films and brand endorsements continue to contribute to his fortune, but it’s his business acumen that has propelled him to the top of the rich list.
Juhi Chawla and Other Richest Actors in Bollywood
Shahrukh Khan is not alone in this league of Bollywood’s richest. His longtime friend and co-star Juhi Chawla stands second with a net worth of ₹4,600 crore. Juhi’s wealth is also linked to her involvement with the Kolkata Knight Riders team and various other investments.
Hrithik Roshan, known for his incredible performances and dance moves, has secured the third spot with a net worth of ₹2,000 crore. His success stems not only from his acting career but also from his stake in fitness startups and other ventures.
Bollywood’s iconic star Amitabh Bachchan and his family are at the fourth position with ₹1,600 crore. The Bachchan family’s wealth is a result of smart investments and diverse income streams, including brand endorsements and film production.
Karan Johar, the influential filmmaker and producer, rounds off the top five with ₹1,400 crore. His production house, Dharma Productions, has been a major contributor to his wealth, making him one of the most powerful figures in Bollywood.
These stars have not just entertained millions with their talent but have also demonstrated exceptional business skills, ensuring their place among India’s wealthiest.
