Shah Rukh Khan continues to hold the top spot among India's richest actors, with an estimated wealth of Rs 10,000 crore, according to the Hurun India Rich List 2026.
The figure, however, represents a sharp decline from last year's estimate of Rs 12,490 crore. Based on the two Hurun figures, Shah Rukh Khan's estimated wealth has fallen by Rs 2,490 crore over the past year.
Despite the drop, the actor remains the highest-ranked name from the Indian film industry on the 2026 list.
Red Chillies, sports among wealth sources
Shah Rukh Khan's wealth extends beyond his earnings from acting and film projects. The Hurun estimate takes into account his holdings and earnings across movies, brand endorsements and businesses.
His business interests include production house Red Chillies Entertainment and sports team Knight Riders Sports, adding to the various sources contributing to his overall wealth.
The latest estimate places him well ahead of other major names from the Hindi film industry.
Amitabh Bachchan ranks second among actors with an estimated wealth of Rs 4,000 crore. Salman Khan follows with Rs 3,000 crore, while Hrithik Roshan occupies the fourth position with an estimated wealth of Rs 2,500 crore.
