Citing Shah Rukh’s wealth growth, the list mentioned: “Bollywood’s Badshah, Shah Rukh Khan (59), joins the billionaire club for the first time with a wealth of INR 12,490 Crore.” Shah Rukh is now richer than several international celebrities, including Taylor Swift ($1.3 billion), Arnold Schwarzenegger ($1.2 billion), Jerry Seinfeld ($1.2 billion), and Selena Gomez ($720 million), to name a few.
Shah Rukh Khan has been the richest actor in India for several years now. But the new list mentions that the gap between him and the next richest is widening. His business partner, Juhi Chawla, and her family, are the next on the list with a reported net worth of ₹7790 crore. Hrithik Roshan ranks third, way behind with a wealth of ₹2160 crore as per Hurun.
The rich list, an annual affair, has been released by the Hurun Research Institute. Last year, Shah Rukh was listed at number 1 among actors, but his net worth was $870 million. The new $1.4 billion net worth makes Shah Rukh arguably the richest actor in the world, whose primary income comes from cinema.
