Bollywood Biz

When it comes to career options, most people would not consider acting as a serious profession. For some, the odds of becoming successful may seem slim and for most, it simply would not seem lucrative enough. It’s time that we put these myths to rest. Successful actors don’t just earn money, they do so by the truckloads. Corporate Citizen brings out a list of 10 richest actors in the word, along with their jaw-dropping net worth.

1 Jerry Seinfeld - 5,000 Cr INR

Jerry Seinfeld is not just the richest actor in the world. He is the richest actor to have never acted in films. His eponymously titled show Seinfeld is essentially the most successful television project in history. Even after two decades after its debut, the show rakes in over Rs 1,250 cr a year, just in syndication. With just one show and a take home of Rs 5,000 cr , Jerry Seinfeld is happy to hang up his boots and walk in the sunset.

2 Shahrukh Khan - 3,720 cr INR

Shah Rukh Khan is not just the King Khan of Bollywood, he is also the second richest actor in the world and the only Indian actor on the list. His career spans over two decades and more than 50 hit films, and it seems he only gets more and more popular with age. SRK is also a very savvy businessman, having a production house and several properties in his name. He is also the top choice for endorsements in India, a testament that his 3,720 cr fortune is no fluke.
