Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has achieved yet another milestone by becoming the richest actor in India. According to the latest Hurun India Rich List 2025, his net worth has reached ₹12,490 crore (approximately $1.4 billion), making him not only the wealthiest actor in India but also one of the richest globally.

A significant portion of Shah Rukh Khan’s fortune comes from his film career, production company Red Chillies Entertainment, and cricket franchise Kolkata Knight Riders. He founded Red Chillies in 2002, which has grown into a successful production house. In addition, his wealth is bolstered by brand endorsements and real estate investments.

His net worth has put him ahead of international stars, including American singer Taylor Swift, in the global celebrity wealth rankings. The Hurun India Rich List 2025 estimates his fortune at ₹12,490 crore ($1.4 billion).

Shah Rukh Khan’s brand value is also significant. According to The Times of India, his brand value stands at $231.1 million, making him one of India’s most powerful celebrity brands. While he trails behind cricketer Virat Kohli in total brand value, his influence in entertainment and business remains unmatched.

Shah Rukh Khan’s financial success reflects not only his talent and hard work but also the growing global reach and influence of the Indian film industry. His achievements demonstrate that Bollywood stars can excel not only on-screen but also as entrepreneurs and global brand icons.
