Shah Rukh Khan joins the Billionaire Club, surpassing global stars like Tom Cruise and Taylor Swift

Shah Rukh Khan becomes India’s richest actor, joining the billionaire club with $1.4 billion net worth

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has officially entered the billionaire club, with a reported net worth of ₹12,490 crore (approximately $1.4 billion), according to the Hurun India Rich List 2025.

This milestone makes Khan the richest actor in India, placing him ahead of global celebrities like Taylor Swift, Tom Cruise, Selena Gomez, and Jerry Seinfeld in terms of wealth. Known as the "Badshah of Bollywood," Khan, 59, has seen significant financial growth over the past year. His diverse business ventures—including his production company Red Chillies Entertainment, a VFX studio, and ownership stakes in multiple cricket teams—have contributed substantially to his rising fortune.

Following Khan on the list are actress and longtime business partner Juhi Chawla with a net worth of ₹7,790 crore, Hrithik Roshan at ₹2,160 crore, Karan Johar at ₹1,880 crore, and Amitabh Bachchan at ₹1,630 crore.

The actor also has reasons to celebrate beyond his financial success. Khan recently received his first National Film Award for Best Actor, honored for his performance in the blockbuster Jawan. Adding to the family’s achievements, his son made a successful directorial debut with the Netflix series The Ba***ds of Bollywood, which has garnered massive success with positive reviews.

Looking ahead, Khan is set to star in King, directed by Siddharth Anand. The film also features his daughter Suhana Khan, along with Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, and Rani Mukerji. However, production has been delayed due to an injury Khan sustained during filming. Originally planned for a 2026 release, King may now be postponed to early 2027, according to Mid-Day.

The actor’s remarkable rise in wealth and continued impact on both cinema and business solidify his legacy as one of the most influential figures in global entertainment.
