Shah Rukh Khan is an inspirational story because he came from nowhere and from his own hard work and dedication created a huge empire and stormed the super-rich list.
According to an official release of the Hurun India Rich list 2012, Shah Rukh Khan is worth an astonishing $ 400 Million or Rs. 2400 crore. With this feat, Shah Rukh Khan is at serial no. 114 in the Hurun India Rich list 2012.
Interestingly, all the rich people before Shah Rukh Khan in the list are big ticket industrialists like Mukesh Ambani, Anil Ambani, Sunil Mittal, Rahul Bajaj and others.
Shah Rukh Khan is the only “creative” person in the list.
Our own Rakesh Jhunjhunwala of Rare Enterprises is at Serial no. 64 in the list with a mind-blowing net worth of $900 Million (Rs. 5400 crore).
Disappointingly, the great Sachin Tendulkar (whose networth is estimated to be about $200 Million) did not make it to the super-rich list. This is because the cut-off limit was $300 Million.
Shah Rukh Khan’s incredible wealth accumulation is the result of his several super-duper box office hit movies like Dil Wale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge (DDLJ), Kayamat Se Kayamat Tak (KSKT), Don, Chennai Express and several others.
Shah Rukh Khan has also shown incredible business sense by setting up his own production house ‘Red Chillies Entertainment’. This way, Shah Rukh Khan gets to keep the bumper profits that the producer would otherwise have taken away.
Now what we want to see is whether the net worth of Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan is able to match up to the net worth of Shah Rukh Khan.
KSKT???
