The Hurun India Rich List 2026 puts the actor’s wealth at ₹ 10,000 crore, keeping him ahead of Amitabh Bachchan , Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan . Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan continues to lead the list of India’s richest actors, even though his estimated wealth has fallen significantly over the past year.
The latest figure is down from the ₹ 12,490 crore net worth given to Shah Rukh in the 2025 Hurun India Rich List. That marks a difference of ₹ 2490 crore in one year. Amitabh Bachchan is the second-richest actor on the 2026 list, with an estimated wealth of ₹ 4000 crore. His net worth has increased considerably from the ₹ 1630 crore figure reported in the 2025 list. Naresh Malhotra, the father of Ramayana producer Namit Malhotra, has an estimated wealth of ₹ 16,000 crore. The film is scheduled to release in theatres on December 24. The film arrives in theatres and will be sandwiched between big Hollywood releases, including Avengers: Doomsday and Dune Part 3, respectively.
The actor’s wealth is not limited to his earnings from films; it also includes his business interests, particularly Red Chillies Entertainment, and his association with the Kolkata Knight Riders through Knight Riders Sports. The veteran actor’s wealth is linked not just to his decades-long film career but also to investments, real estate and assets managed through his family office. His latest valuation puts him well ahead of the other actors who feature among the top names. The list also includes names from the business side of the film industry. Bhushan Kumar, Ronnie Screwvala, and Kalanithi Maran, all film producers, also make it to the list. Shah Rukh Khan is awaiting the release of King. Helmed by Siddharth Anand, the film also stars Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan and Suhana Khan, along with Raghav Juyal, Jaideep Ahlawat, Arshad Warsi, Jackie Shroff and others in key roles.
