Published: October 6, 2024 4:14 PM IST By The Bollywood industry is synonymous with glitz and glamour, and if an actor establishes their place in the audience’s hearts, they can earn immense wealth. It’s no secret that the industry deals with huge sums of money. Many may assume that actors like Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, and other A-list celebrities are the wealthiest individuals in the industry.
However, to everyone’s surprise, the richest person in Bollywood is not an actor but a film producer behind iconic movies like Paan Singh Tomar, Thank You, Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota, and others. Wondering who this person is? It’s none other than film producer Ronnie Screwvala. Ronnie holds the distinction of being the richest person in Bollywood.
According to a report published by Forbes, Ronnie Screwvala’s net worth is $1.55 billion (roughly Rs 13,000 crore). With this, Ronnie became the only billionaire associated with Hindi cinema.
Coming in second is Bhushan Kumar, whose net worth is just under a billion. According to the Hurun Rich List, Bhushan’s family has a combined net worth of $1.2 billion, though other stakeholders also contribute to that wealth.
Following them are Aditya Chopra and Shah Rukh Khan, each with a net worth exceeding $850 million. Juhi Chawla, India’s wealthiest female actor, completes the top five with a net worth of $55.
