Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has made his debut on the Hurun India Rich List 2024. For the first time, he is listed among India’s richest individuals with a net worth of ₹7,300 crores. Khan’s wealth is attributed to his shares in Kolkata Knight Riders and Red Chillies Entertainment.
This year’s Hurun India Rich List includes other Bollywood celebrities for the first time, such as Amitabh Bachchan, Juhi Chawla and family, Karan Johar, and Hrithik Roshan.
According to Hurun India, the people from the entertainment industry who made it to the list this year do not only earn from acting but also run their own production houses. Shah Rukh Khan, founder of Red Chillies Entertainment, has seen his net worth rise due to his successful production company and his stake in the Kolkata Knight Riders IPL team.
Hurun India’s founder and chief researcher, Anas Rahman Junaid, mentioned that cricket and movies are crucial to India’s culture. The inclusion of Shah Rukh Khan in the list is due to his significant holding value in the Kolkata Knight Riders. Junaid also noted that seven people from the entertainment industry who made it to the Hurun India Rich List this year added ₹40,500 crores to their combined wealth over the past year.
