Happy birthday, Shah Rukh Khan: A look at the superstar's net worth, assets

Shah Rukh Khan turned 58 on Thursday.

As superstar Shah Rukh Khan celebrates his 58th birthday, his fans are leaving no stone unturned to ensure they go in full force to wish the actor.

As Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan marks his 58th birthday, his fans are sparing no effort to express their love and admiration, showering the actor with their wishes, both on the internet and offline.

Fans thronged in larger numbers outside the actor's sea-facing bungalow, “Mannat”, in Mumbai’s Bandra, with the actor keeping his yearly ritual of greeting the sea of fans who broke into loud cheers as he stepped out to the terrace of his house.

With a net worth of $770 million, Shah Rukh Khan was ranked the fourth richest actor in the world, after Jerry Seinfeld, Tyler Perry and Dwayne Johnson.

In 2017, Khan was ranked 65 in the Forbes list of richest celebrities in the world.

His assets include luxury properties such as the landmark “Mannat” in Mumbai, villas in Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah and London. He is the co-owner of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) team in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Two of his action-thrillers this year, "Pathaan" and “Jawan”, smashed box office records, becoming the among the highest-grossing Hindi films.

Khan, who did not come from an established acting family, rose to Bollywood stardom several years after he started his acting career on the small screen in the 1980s.

His early 1980s TV roles showcased his natural charisma but it took him several years to break onto the big screen, and he risked being typecast as a villain after his riveting performance as an obsessed stalker in "Darr" (Fear).

"Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" in 1995, arguably one of the biggest Indian blockbusters, catapulted him to international stardom.
