Meet the ‘outsider’ of Bollywood, whose enormous net worth surpasses even the wealthiest film family in the country

For many years, the Khan and Kapoor families have ruled Bollywood. Amidst the hegemony of film families in Hindi cinema, a ‘outsider’ emerged with the intention of taking over and quickly came to control the industry. Although Salman Khan’s family is regarded as the wealthiest in Bollywood, Salman Khan’s net worth is more than his family’s combined.

Nobody could have predicted that this outsider, who had seen Amitabh Bachchan and Dilip Kumar on the way to Mumbai, would one day drive everyone in the world with his charisma and brilliance, and that his aim was to become an actor in Hindi film. From movie to movie, that outsider made development and is now a byword for success. Among the top 5 wealthiest cinema stars worldwide, he is the only actor from India. Salman Khan’s family’s overall fortune is also lower than his net worth.

Shah Rukh Khan’s net worth is more than Salman Khan’s, who along with his siblings and father Salim Khan have a net worth of Rs 5259 crore. Bollywood star King Khan is estimated to have a net worth of over Rs 6300 crore by Lifestyle Asia.

In addition, Shah Rukh Khan is the world’s fourth-richest actor. The majority of his revenue comes from movies. He is among the priciest performers working in Indian film. Shah Rukh Khan reportedly demands between Rs 100 and Rs 150 crore for a film. He also makes a sizable income from brand sponsorships and commercial endeavors.

Red Chillies Entertainment is owned by Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan. He shares ownership of the Kolkata Knight Riders IPL franchise. Additionally, he has stock in KidZania and Byju’s, two businesses.

Although Shah Rukh is referred to be the “King of Romance,” his action-hero status was shown in the movies “Pathaan” and “Jawan.” The year 2023 saw him make a spectacular return. Dunki, the superstar’s last movie of the year, has also done well at the box office.

In 1989, Shah Rukh Khan made his acting debut in the series “Fauji.” In this program, he played the primary character, Abhimanyu Rai. Following the show’s popularity, Shah Rukh Khan ventured into the film industry and quickly rose to prominence.

Shah Rukh Khan has so far acted in over 90 motion pictures. He is a modern-day worldwide icon.
