New Delhi: Indian actors have been earning in crores for their films since the 90s. While the Rs. 100 cr opening for a film has always defined an actor's bankable worth, that has not only been the source of their income. From brand endorsements to advertisements and investments in businesses, Bollywood actors have done it all. So, it comes at no surprise thatIndian actors are also part of the Top 10 richest actresses list from the world. Interestingly, the Indian actress who has made it to the Top 10 richest actresses list, is someone who has not been working in the mainstream movie industry.
Juhi Chawla is in fact the richest actress in India. As per the Hurun Rich List of 2024, her wealth comes second to that of her friend and business partner Shah Rukh Khan when it comes to the richest Indian actors. As per Hurun, Juhi has a net worth of Rs. 4600 cr ($ 850 million), far higher than any of her contemporaries.
In other words, if the net worth of the five richest Indian actresses was put together, they would still be less than Juhi's weath.
Meanwhile, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has a net worth of $100 million( Rs. 850 cr ) reportedly. Priyanka Chopra, thanks to her global endeabours, brand endorsements, film production company, her net worth follows at Ts. 650 cr.
The top 5 then include Alia Bhatt and Deepika Padukone, both of whom own big businesses.
