Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan joins billionaire club

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, 59, has joined the billionaire club for the first time, becoming one of the world’s richest actors, the BBC writes.

Khan’s net worth is estimated at a staggering $1.4bn, according to the Hurun India Rich List 2025, an annual ranking of India’s wealthiest individuals.

This puts him in the league of global celebrities like Arnold Schwarzenegger, pop star Rihanna, golfer Tiger Woods, and singer Taylor Swift, whose net worth is pegged at $1.6bn by Forbes magazine.

Khan has spent more than three decades in the Hindi film industry and reinvented himself from being an actor to running a major production house and owning a cricket team. His other sources of income include film earnings, advertisements as well as reported investments in real estate across the world.
