According to a recent ranking, Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan has become one of the richest actors in the world and has joined the billionaire club. The Hurun India Rich List 2025, an annual list of India’s wealthiest people, estimates the 59-year-old’s net worth to be an astounding $1.4 billion (£1.03 billion).
With a net worth estimated by Forbes magazine at $1.6 billion, he joins the ranks of international luminaries including singer Taylor Swift, golfer Tiger Woods, pop sensation Rihanna, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. The list also includes film director Karan Johar, actors Hrithik Roshan and Amitabh Bachchan, and actress Juhi Chawla.
We are witnessing the emergence of new centers of value outside of conventional industries like banking, IT, and manufacturing as the Indian economy develops and enters its next phase of wealth generation,” Mr. Junaid stated. Serious engines of wealth creation in India” now include IP-driven firms, sports, and entertainment, he continued.
Mr. Junaid claims that this is comparable to the development that occurred in the US, where wealthy lists that were previously dominated by bankers and industrialists now include media tycoons, sports team owners, and celebrity-led businesses, such as Beyoncé, Oprah Winfrey, and LeBron James.
