Bollywood's Badshah in the Billionaire Club

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has joined the billionaires' club for the first time, becoming one of the richest actors in the world. According to the Hurun India Rich List 2025, an annual ranking of India's richest people, the 59-year-old Shah Rukh Khan's net worth is estimated at $1.4 billion.

With this, he joins the ranks of celebrities like Arnold Schwarzenegger, pop star Rihanna, golfer Tiger Woods, and singer Taylor Swift, whose net worth is estimated by Forbes magazine at $1.6 billion.

Other Bollywood celebrities on the list include actress Juhi Chawla, actors Hrithik Roshan, Amitabh Bachchan, and film director Karan Johar.

​Shahrukh, known as the 'King' of Bollywood, has been a star in the Hindi film industry for over three decades. He has reinvented himself from an actor to running a major production company and owning a cricket team.

​"The main reason for Khan's billionaire status is his stake in Red Chillies Entertainment [his production company] and Knight Rider Sports [his IPL cricket club]," said Anas Rehman Junaid, founder and chief researcher at Hurun India.
