Hurun India Rich List: Shah Rukh Khan has achieved an incredible milestone by emerging as the richest Bollywood celebrity on the 2024 Hurun India Rich List. With an astounding net worth of Rs 7,300 crore at the age of 58, Shah Rukh has solidified his position as a powerhouse in both the entertainment and business worlds.
Shah Rukh's wealth is largely attributed to his successful ventures in the film industry and sports. As the owner of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), who recently won the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, and the head of his production company, Red Chillies Entertainment, he has demonstrated his business acumen alongside his acting prowess. His massive social media presence, with 44.1 million followers on X (formerly Twitter) and 47.4 million on Instagram, further cements his influence.
Shah Rukh's recent cinematic successes have significantly contributed to his financial standing. After a four-year break, he made a triumphant return with the film Pathaan, which grossed Rs 543.09 crore domestically and Rs 1,055 crore globally. This was followed by the blockbuster Jawan, which surpassed Pathaan with Rs 640.25 crore in India and Rs 1,160 crore worldwide. Additionally, his film Dunki, directed by Rajkumar Hirani, earned Rs 227 crore domestically and Rs 454 crore globally, further boosting his wealth.
