Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan has officially joined the global billionaire club, with the Hurun India Rich List 2025 estimating his net worth at an astounding $1.4 billion (₹12,490 crore). With this milestone, the 59-year-old superstar becomes the richest actor in the world, surpassing several top international celebrities.
“Bollywood’s Badshah, Shah Rukh Khan, joins the billionaire club for the first time with a wealth of ₹12,490 crore,” Hurun announced on Wednesday.
SRK’s new valuation places him ahead of global icons such as:
- Taylor Swift ($1.3 billion)
- Jerry Seinfeld ($1.2 billion)
- Arnold Schwarzenegger ($1.2 billion)
- Selena Gomez ($720 million)
The Hurun report also highlighted the growing financial gap between SRK and other Indian film industry figures. His long-time friend and business partner Juhi Chawla ranks next with a net worth of ₹7,790 crore. Actor Hrithik Roshan stands at ₹2,160 crore, while Karan Johar and Amitabh Bachchan are listed with net worths of ₹1,880 crore and ₹1,630 crore respectively.
While Shah Rukh has consistently topped the list of India’s richest actors over the years, this is the first time he has officially crossed into the billionaire category, a feat only a handful of entertainers worldwide have achieved.
What Powers SRK’s Billion-Dollar Empire?
Beyond his prolific film career, SRK’s wealth stems from a diversified portfolio of investments:
- Red Chillies Entertainment (production house and VFX studio)
- Ownership of IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and other Knight Riders franchises globally
- Stake in the Indian arm of global indoor theme park KidZania
- High-value real estate assets in India and the Middle East
- Investments in tech ventures, including the Nourish health app and interactive platform MirrAR
From the silver screen to the boardroom, Shah Rukh Khan’s journey is a testament to his business acumen, global appeal, and enduring star power.
