Shahrukh Khan is included in the top 10 richest actors not only in Bollywood but also in the world, who is the richest?

Bollywood News:  Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has achieved another milestone in his legendary career. Known for years as the “King of Bollywood,” SRK has now cemented his place globally by entering Esquire magazine’s list of the Top 10 Richest Actors in the World for 2025. Impressively, he is the only Indian actor to feature in this prestigious ranking and stands tall at number four.

Not Just Films — A Diversified Income Portfolio

Shah Rukh Khan’s estimated net worth stands at $876.5 million, which translates to approximately ₹7,380 crore in Indian currency. While his acting career has been illustrious, it’s his off-screen ventures that have significantly contributed to his fortune. His production house Red Chillies Entertainment, the VFX company attached to it, brand endorsements, and his ownership of the IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders make him a true business mogul.

Beating Global Icons

What makes this feat even more remarkable is that Khan has surpassed Hollywood giants like Jackie Chan, Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt, and Robert De Niro. The list is topped by Arnold Schwarzenegger with a net worth of $1.49 billion, followed closely by Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson with $1.19 billion, and Tom Cruise rounding out the top three with $891 million.
 Shah Rukh follows right behind these international stars, solidifying his global standing.

From Small Screen to Global Fame

SRK’s journey to stardom didn’t begin on the big screen. He started as a TV actor in 1989 with the popular Doordarshan series Fauji, followed by Circus. Shah Rukh Khan's Bollywood debut in the early 1990s was marked by bold roles in films like Baazigar, Darr, and Anjaam. However, it was Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge that catapulted him to superstardom, making him a household name. Even decades later, he remains one of Indian cinema's most bankable stars.

India’s Global Brand Ambassador

Khan's inclusion in this elite global list goes far beyond entertainment. It symbolizes India's growing influence in the global entertainment economy. His diversified ventures, visionary branding, and emotional connect with fans worldwide have made him not just a film icon, but a global brand.
