Bollywood Actor-Entrepreneur Abhay Deol Rs 400 Crore Net Worth Richer Than Bobby
Bobby Deol is undoubtedly a big star but Abhay Deol's net worth is five times more than him, just like Vivek Oberoi, who also turned into a businessman.
When you think of the Deol family, the spotlight usually falls on Sunny Deol's action-packed career or Bobby Deol's recent comeback. But here is a twist you did not see coming: there is one Deol who is quietly richer than both of them. Meet Abhay Deol, the cousin who built a fortune worth a jaw-dropping Rs 400 crore.
Abhay Deol has always stood apart from the Bollywood crowd. He is not the one to chase headlines or flaunt his lifestyle. Neither is he a regular Bollywood poster boy nor an activist artist-kind. Instead, he has carved his own path, selective with work and, as visible, incredibly smart when it comes to finances.
More Than Just An Actor
Abhay Deol is not your typical star. He keeps a low profile, speaks less and lets his work do the talking. According to MensXP, Abhay Deol's net worth stands at around Rs 400 crore, which is five times more than that of his cousin Bobby Deol. So, where's all this money coming from? Well, Abhay charges Rs 3 crore per film and makes nearly Rs 10 crore annually.
Abhay Deol's Business Brain
But the real game-changer? It is his business empire that he has quietly built over the years. Abhay co-owns a restaurant chain called The Fatty Cow, has stakes in hospitality projects and runs his own production house, Forbidden Films, under which he has produced projects like One By Two (2014) and What Are The Odds (2020). This adds another steady stream of income.
The Lavish Possessions
What further adds to the possession is a Rs 27 crore property in Mumbai but his heart seemingly belongs to his peaceful Goan home. Even his car collection is all stylish but he chooses not to flaunt them. It includes a Mitsubishi Pajero SFX, a Volkswagen Tiguan AllSpace and a BMW X6. All reliable, all classy, but never screaming for attention.
Where Bobby Deol Stands
As for Abhay Deol's cousin Bobby Deol, the actor's net worth is estimated at Rs 66.7 crore, according to Lifestyle Asia. He earns Rs 4–6 crore per film and reportedly took home Rs 5 crore for his role in Animal. Bobby also enjoys a significant amount of money from brand deals, charging around Rs 1 crore for each endorsement. While this all is impressive, Abhay is clearly in a league of his own.
