Not the Khans or Kapoors: Meet Bollywood’s Richest Family With A Rs 10,000 Cr Net Worth

Move over, Khans and Kapoors. There's a new financial powerhouse in B-town, and they're hitting all the right notes. According to GQ India, while Bollywood's glitterati often hog the limelight, it's the Kumar family, the masterminds behind T-Series, who are quietly orchestrating a fortune that would make even the most seasoned film moguls' jaws drop.

Bollywood’s Richest Family

GQ India reveals that at the helm of this musical empire sits Bhushan Kumar, the Chairman and Managing Director of T-Series, alongside his uncle Krishan Kumar. But don't let their behind-the-scenes status fool you, this dynamic duo is conducting a symphony of success that's music to any accountant's ears.

The T-Series saga began in 1983, penned by the late Gulshan Kumar. GQ India notes that it wasn't until the soundtracks of ‘Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak’ and ‘Aashiqui’ hit the charts that T-Series found its rhythm. Since then, they've been composing a fortune faster than you can say "chart-topper."

But wait, there's more! GQ India reports that T-Series isn't just about catchy tunes anymore. They've expanded their repertoire to include film production, with recent hits like ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ and ‘Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar’ proving they know how to play the box office like a finely tuned instrument.

Bhushan Kumar’s Net Worth

According to the Hurun India Rich List cited by GQ India, the Kumar family's net worth is a staggering $1.2 billion (approximately ₹10,000 crores). That's enough to make even the most star-studded families in Bollywood look like they're performing at the local karaoke bar.
