Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Juhi Chawla and others feature on Hurun India Rich List 2024

The 2024 Hurun India Rich List has been released, featuring several Bollywood celebrities who have amassed significant wealth. This year's list is particularly notable for including Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who has made an impressive debut with a net worth of Rs 7,300 crore at the age of 58. Khan's wealth is primarily attributed to his ownership of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), the reigning champions of the Indian Premier League (IPL), and his film production company, Red Chillies Entertainment. His recent cinematic successes, including the blockbuster films "Pathaan" and "Jawan," have also contributed significantly to his wealth.

"Pathaan," released after a four-year hiatus, was a major hit, earning Rs 543.09 crore domestically and Rs 1,055 crore globally. Following this, "Jawan" outperformed "Pathaan," grossing Rs 640.25 crore in India and Rs 1,160 crore worldwide. His subsequent release, "Dunki," directed by Rajkumar Hirani, further added to his financial success, with earnings of Rs 227 crore in India and Rs 454 crore globally. These films not only marked Khan's return to the silver screen but also reaffirmed his status as a leading figure in the Indian film industry.

Following Shah Rukh Khan on the Hurun India Rich List is actress Juhi Chawla and her family, who have accumulated a wealth of Rs 4,600 crore. Chawla, who co-owns the IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders with Khan, holds the second position among Bollywood stars on the list. Her investment in the team and other ventures has helped solidify her financial standing.

In third place is actor Hrithik Roshan, with a fortune of Rs 2,000 crore. Roshan's wealth is bolstered by his successful athleisure brand, HRX, and he ranks second in terms of social media followings among Bollywood celebrities, with 32.3 million followers on X (formerly Twitter). Roshan's business acumen and popularity on social media platforms have played a crucial role in his financial achievements.

Legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan occupies the fourth position on the list, with a wealth of Rs 1,600 crore. His diverse investments and enduring popularity have ensured his place among India's wealthiest celebrities. Bachchan, who was last seen in the film "Kalki 2898 AD," continues to be a prominent figure in the industry, both as an actor and an investor.

Karan Johar, the multifaceted host, actor, producer, and director of Dharma Productions, secures the fifth spot with a net worth of Rs 1,400 crore. Johar's recent film "Kill," released in July, was well received by fans and critics alike. He also announced "Dhadak 2" last month, which is based on the 2018 Tamil film "Pariyerum Perumal." Johar's ability to create commercially successful films and his ventures in various aspects of entertainment have made him one of the most influential personalities in Bollywood.

The 2024 Hurun India Rich List provides a snapshot of the economic landscape and the success stories of those who have amassed significant wealth across various industries. It is an annual ranking compiled by the Hurun Report, which tracks and evaluates the wealth of India's richest individuals and families. This year's list highlights the financial success of several Bollywood celebrities, who have not only thrived in the entertainment industry but have also made smart investments and business decisions that have significantly increased their wealth.
