-1793588952018_m.webp)
Shah Rukh Khan turns 61 today, and the one thing most people know about his wealth is that it's huge. The Hurun India Rich List 2026 estimates his net worth at Rs 10,000 crore. That's lower than last year's Rs 12,490 crore, yet he's still the richest actor in the country. Amitabh Bachchan is next at Rs 4,000 crore.
How Much Does Shah Rukh Khan Earn Outside Films?
Quite a lot, going by how Hurun explains the number. His fortune sits mainly in two places: his production company, Red Chillies Entertainment, and Knight Riders Sports, the group that owns the IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders. Acting fees come after that.

Red Chillies Entertainment: SRK And Gauri Khan's Production House
Red Chillies was set up in 2002 with wife Gauri Khan. These days it handles production, distribution and visual effects under one roof. Chennai Express, Raees and Jawan all came out of it. When a star owns the film itself, he takes a share of what it earns, and that share can be far bigger than his fee.

Kolkata Knight Riders: SRK's IPL Team Is Now A Business Of Its Own
He bought into KKR in 2008, with Juhi Chawla and Jay Mehta alongside him. The team has won the IPL three times, in 2012, 2014 and 2024. Knight Riders now has teams in cricket leagues overseas too, so the brand reaches well beyond Eden Gardens.

Why Shah Rukh Khan's Net Worth Fell In 2026?
Hurun's numbers are estimates, and they change with how companies are valued from one year to the next. A dip doesn't mean he's slowing down. In 2025 he won his first National Film Award for Best Actor, for Jawan. Shah Rukh Khan’s stardom isn’t fading anytime soon.
