New Delhi: Despite the fact that Indian TV serials are the most popular and consistently attain high TRPs, no one from these popular long-running series holds the title of the richest television actor. Instead, famous comedian Kapil Sharma has become the richest celebrity in the Indian television industry. He has superseded renowned figures such as Anupamaa’s Rupali Ganguly and Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah's Dilip Joshi by earning an impressive sum per episode for hosting ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show’ on Netflix.
Thanks to Kapil Sharma’s film appearances and hosting duties, he has risen to the position of the richest actor in Indian television. According to reports, his estimated net worth is around Rs 300 crore, and he earns Rs 5 crore every episode. Numerous sites, such as DNA, Firstpost, and the Times of India, have verified this information.
Kapil Sharma and his family live in an apartment in Andheri that is worth 15 crore. Fortune India said that he was named one of the top celebrity taxpayers for 2024, having paid Rs 26 crore in taxes for the fiscal year. His collection of luxury cars includes a Range Rover Evoque, a Mercedes-Benz S350, a Volvo XC90, and a vanity van that he had made himself, with a total value of Rs 5.5 crore.
