Ajith Kumar’s net worth is estimated at Rs 350 crore, making him one of the wealthiest actors in Indian cinema. He reportedly charges Rs 100 to 150 crore per film.
Before becoming an actor, Ajith aspired to be a professional racing car driver. However, destiny led him to Tamil cinema, where he made his debut with Amaravathi (1993).
His career took off with the success of Aasai (1995) and Kadhal Kottai (1996). These films established him as a leading romantic hero before he transitioned into action-packed roles.
The 2001 film Dheena earned him the title “Thala”, meaning leader, solidifying his status as an action star. He continued his winning streak with hits like Villain (2002), Varalaru (2006), Billa (2007), and Mankatha (2011).
Even when critics were divided on his films, they remained blockbuster events, proving his untouchable star power in Tamil cinema.
A passionate auto enthusiast, Ajith owns Porsche 911 GT3 RS, Ferrari SF90, BMW 740Li, and a Mercedes-Benz 350 GLS. He has also competed in Formula 2 racing.
Unlike many actors, Ajith stays away from social media and PR stunts. His mysterious aura only adds to his massive fan following.
Ajith is set to make a comeback with his action-thriller Vidaamuyarchi, reaffirming his status as one of Tamil cinema’s biggest stars.
He is married to former actress Shalini, whom he met while filming Amarkalam (1999). The couple has two children.
