Shah Rukh Khan continues to hold the position of India’s richest actor despite a sharp decline in his estimated wealth over the past year.
According to the Hurun India Rich List 2026, Shah Rukh Khan’s estimated net worth stands at Rs 10,000 crore, down from Rs 12,490 crore in the 2025 edition. Despite losing nearly Rs 2,500 crore on paper, he remains ahead of other major Bollywood stars.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Wealth Falls 20%
The latest estimate represents a decline of Rs 2,490 crore from the previous year’s figure.
Shah Rukh Khan’s wealth is estimated based on his interests across films, endorsements and businesses, including Red Chillies Entertainment and Knight Riders Sports.
The change does not necessarily mean the actor has physically lost Rs 2,490 crore in cash. Rich-list valuations depend on the estimated value of businesses, investments, assets and other holdings, which can change between editions.
Amitabh Bachchan Sees Huge Wealth Jump
Amitabh Bachchan occupies the next position among the actors featured on the list, with an estimated wealth of Rs 4,000 crore.
His wealth has increased substantially from Rs 1,630 crore in the 2025 list.
The veteran actor’s financial portfolio includes investments made through his family office as well as real estate holdings.
The increase means his estimated wealth has more than doubled over the past year according to the latest list.
Salman Khan Enters With Rs 3,000 Crore
Salman Khan has made his debut on the 2026 Hurun India Rich List with an estimated wealth of Rs 3,000 crore.
His entry puts him among the wealthiest Bollywood actors tracked by the list.
The actor’s earnings extend beyond films and endorsements, with his businesses and brand interests also contributing to his overall wealth estimate.
Hrithik Roshan’s Wealth Also Grows
Hrithik Roshan has an estimated wealth of Rs 2,500 crore, up from Rs 2,160 crore in the previous year’s list.
A significant part of his business presence comes from HRX, the fitness and lifestyle brand he co-founded.
The brand has expanded across several consumer categories, adding to the actor’s business portfolio.
SRK Still Far Ahead
Even after the reported decline, Shah Rukh Khan’s estimated Rs 10,000 crore fortune remains substantially higher than the figures attributed to the other actors on the 2026 list.
Amitabh Bachchan is estimated at Rs 4,000 crore, Salman Khan at Rs 3,000 crore and Hrithik Roshan at Rs 2,500 crore.
However, these figures are estimates rather than independently audited personal balance sheets and can change depending on the assets and valuations included.
Juhi Chawla And Karan Johar Missing
The latest list also brings some notable changes.
Juhi Chawla and Karan Johar, who appeared on the 2025 list with estimated wealth of Rs 7,790 crore and Rs 1,880 crore respectively, do not feature in the 2026 ranking.
Their absence also highlights how the composition of celebrity wealth rankings can change significantly from one edition to another.
King Is Shah Rukh’s Next Big Release
Shah Rukh Khan is now preparing for his next major theatrical release, King.
The action thriller, directed by Siddharth Anand, is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on December 24, 2026.
The film also features Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan, Arshad Warsi and Anil Kapoor.
It will mark Shah Rukh Khan’s major return to the big screen following Dunki in 2023.
Summary
Shah Rukh Khan remains India’s richest actor with an estimated wealth of Rs 10,000 crore, despite a Rs 2,490 crore decline from last year’s Hurun estimate. Amitabh Bachchan follows with Rs 4,000 crore, while Salman Khan enters the list with Rs 3,000 crore and Hrithik Roshan has Rs 2,500 crore. These figures are estimates based on assets and valuations.
