Shah Rukh Khan (SRK ) has entered the elite billionaire club, cementing his legacy not just as Bollywood’s “Badshah” but also as India’s richest film celebrity. According to the Hurun India Rich List 2025, released on October 1, the superstar now holds wealth worth ?12,490 crore, making him the first Bollywood actor to achieve billionaire status in rupee terms.
The 59-year-old superstar, who has reigned over Indian cinema for over three decades, continues to lead the list of India’s wealthiest entertainment icons. Hurun Research credited his wealth surge to blockbuster film earnings, global brand endorsements, ownership of the Kolkata Knight Riders IPL team, and a diversified investment portfolio spanning real estate and production ventures.
Trailing him on the list is long-time co-star and business partner Juhi Chawla, alongside her family, with a net worth of ?7,790 crore. Hrithik Roshan secured the third spot at ?2,160 crore, while filmmaker Karan Johar and legend Amitabh Bachchan followed at fourth and fifth, respectively.
Shah Rukh’s milestone reflects Bollywood’s expanding financial power in global entertainment markets, where brand value, business acumen, and cross-industry investments now matter as much as box office dominance.
