Richest Celebs in India: Shah Rukh Khan Tops Hurun India Rich List 2025, Enters Billionaire Club
The much-awaited Hurun India Rich List 2025 is finally here, and Bollywood fans—especially admirers of Shah Rukh Khan—have every reason to celebrate.
While the overall billionaire charts were once again dominated by industrial giants like Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani, the celebrity segment told a different story.
Leading the list of India’s richest stars is none other than the Badshah of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan, who has now officially stepped into the billionaire league.
According to Hurun’s findings, Shah Rukh Khan’s wealth is pegged at an extraordinary ₹12,490 crore (approximately $1.4 billion), making this the first time he has crossed the billion-dollar mark.
This staggering valuation places him shoulder-to-shoulder with some of Hollywood’s biggest global icons like Rihanna and Tiger Woods (both valued at around $1.4 billion).
While he is still behind Taylor Swift ($1.6 billion) and Kim Kardashian ($1.7 billion), SRK’s rise cements him as one of the world’s most bankable entertainers.
The King and His Kingdom: Red Chillies Entertainment
The single biggest driver of Shah Rukh’s fortune is Red Chillies Entertainment, the powerhouse production company he co-founded with wife Gauri Khan in 2002.
Over the past 23 years, the company has produced almost all of Shah Rukh’s films, ensuring he earns not just from acting fees but also from profit shares.
The company’s groundbreaking 2016 deal with Netflix—which granted the streaming giant exclusive rights to all Red Chillies films, past and future—remains a landmark move in Indian entertainment.
This year has been particularly rewarding for the Khan family. Shah Rukh’s elder son, Aryan Khan, made his directorial debut with the hit web series Ba**ds of Bollywood* under the Red Chillies banner, further boosting the family’s creative and financial clout.
Beyond the Big Screen: Shah Rukh’s Assets and Lifestyle
Apart from film revenues, Shah Rukh Khan is also known for owning some of India’s most luxurious assets. His iconic sea-facing Mumbai bungalow, Mannat, is estimated to be worth ₹200 crore and is currently undergoing renovations.
During this period, the superstar has moved with his family into a plush four-storey apartment in Pali Hill, Bandra, for which the rent alone is a staggering ₹24 lakh per month.
Additionally, Gauri Khan has rented another nearby property for ₹1.35 lakh per month, exclusively to house the staff. This glimpse into their lifestyle reflects just how meticulously the family manages their sprawling empire.
Juhi Chawla & Family – Second Place
Coming in second on the celebrity rich list is actress Juhi Chawla and her businessman husband Jay Mehta, with a fortune valued at ₹7,790 crore.
A significant chunk of their wealth stems from their co-ownership of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) IPL franchise. Interestingly, Shah Rukh himself also co-owns KKR, making the cricket team a shared goldmine for both Bollywood veterans.
Hrithik Roshan & Family – Third Place
The Greek God of Bollywood, Hrithik Roshan, secures third place with a net worth of ₹2,160 crore. His fortune is primarily powered by his fitness and lifestyle brand HRX, which has expanded from clothing and accessories into fitness content and training solutions, turning him into one of India’s most successful actor-entrepreneurs.
Karan Johar – Fourth Place
At number four is filmmaker and media mogul Karan Johar, valued at ₹1,880 crore. Much of his fortune comes from his long-running production house Dharma Productions, which he partially sold to billionaire Aadar Poonawalla last year.
In addition, Johar has diversified his portfolio with stakes in Tyaani Jewellery, his Mumbai fine-dining restaurant Neuma, and even a tech start-up—proving he is as sharp a businessman as he is a storyteller.
Amitabh Bachchan & Family – Fifth Place
Rounding off the top five is the Shahenshah of Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan, with a family fortune of ₹1,630 crore.
Beyond films and endorsements, the Bachchan family has made strategic investments in high-growth companies like Swiggy and PB Fintech (Policybazaar). Despite being the oldest star on the list, Big B’s financial foresight keeps him relevant in the wealth game.
The Bigger Picture
What makes this year’s list particularly noteworthy is the sheer gap between Shah Rukh Khan and his closest competitors. At ₹12,490 crore, SRK’s net worth is greater than the combined fortunes of Juhi Chawla, Hrithik Roshan, and Karan Johar—underscoring just how far ahead the superstar is in terms of financial dominance.
With his unmatched star power, smart investments, and Red Chillies Entertainment continuing to expand across media, Shah Rukh Khan has not only secured his place as India’s richest celebrity but also as a global billionaire icon.
