Top 10 Richest Actors in India: Bollywood and South cinema’s biggest stars have once again proven that fame translates directly into fortune.

Here’s the complete top 10.

Top 10 Richest Actors in India (2026)

1. Shah Rukh Khan – ₹10,000 Crore

Shah Rukh Khan retains his position as India’s richest actor for a second consecutive year, though his net worth saw a dip of ₹2,490 crore compared to 2025. His wealth spans Red Chillies Entertainment and his stake in Knight Riders Sports, which owns the IPL’s Kolkata Knight Riders.

2. Nagarjuna Akkineni – ₹5,000 Crore

The Telugu cinema icon ranks second, with his fortune closely tied to Annapurna Studios and diversified business interests beyond acting.

3. Amitabh Bachchan – ₹4,000 Crore

The legendary Bollywood star continues to hold strong at third place, a remarkable comeback after his production company ABCL nearly bankrupted him in the late 1990s.

4. Salman Khan – ₹3,000 Crore

Known for his massive box-office draw and brand endorsements, Salman remains firmly among India’s top-earning stars.

5. Hrithik Roshan – ₹2,500 Crore

Much of Hrithik’s wealth stems from his fitness and sportswear brand HRX, alongside his continued acting career.

6. Akshay Kumar – ₹2,300 Crore

One of Bollywood’s most prolific actors, Akshay’s fortune reflects decades of consistent box-office performance and brand deals.

7. Aamir Khan – ₹1,800 Crore

Known for his selective but high-impact filmography, Aamir rounds out the upper half of the list.

8. Chiranjeevi – ₹1,700 Crore

The Telugu megastar’s wealth reflects his decades-long dominance in South Indian cinema and business ventures.

9. Venkatesh Daggubati – ₹1,650 Crore

Another Telugu cinema heavyweight, Venkatesh’s fortune is built on a long acting career alongside production interests.

10. Ram Charan – ₹1,400 Crore

Rounding out the top 10, Ram Charan’s global stardom following RRR has significantly boosted his brand value and earnings.

The Bigger Picture

Four of the top ten richest actors hail from Telugu cinema, highlighting the growing financial clout of South Indian film industries alongside Bollywood. Notably, both Karan Johar and Juhi Chawla — who featured on last year’s list — are absent from the 2026 rankings.

This actor list comes as part of the broader M3M Hurun India Rich List 2026, topped overall by Gautam Adani, reflecting India’s rapidly expanding pool of ultra-wealthy individuals across industries.
