Cinema VinesShah Rukh Khan has kept his crown as the richest actor in India, according to the 2026 Hurun India Rich List. The Bollywood superstar’s net worth is now estimated at ₹10,000 crore, a figure that reflects his earnings from film production, visual‑effects ventures and sports investments.
While the actor remains at the top of the list, his wealth has slipped by ₹2,490 crore—roughly 20%—from the previous year’s estimate of ₹12,490 crore. The 2025 Hurun India Rich List had placed him at that higher value, and the 2026 edition shows the decline. Earlier this year, the Hurun Global Rich List had pegged his fortune at ₹10,800 crore.
Red Chillies Entertainment, the production house that Shah Rukh Khan runs with his wife Gauri Khan, is a major contributor to his assets. The company not only produces films but also operates visual‑effects studios that have worked on a range of high‑profile projects.
In addition to film, the actor has a stake in Knight Riders Sports, the group that owns cricket franchises such as Kolkata Knight Riders. His involvement in the sports business adds another layer to his diversified portfolio.
After a brief hiatus from the silver screen, Shah Rukh Khan returned in 2023 with three releases—Pathaan, Jawan and Dunki—all of which marked his comeback to leading roles. He is now preparing for his next film, King, directed by Siddharth Anand and featuring his daughter Suhana Khan. The movie is slated for a December 24 release.
With a net worth of ₹10,000 crore, Shah Rukh Khan remains the wealthiest Indian actor listed in the 2026 Hurun India Rich List, even as his fortune has dipped compared to the previous edition.
