Inside Sanjay Dutt's Rs 295 cr life: Rs 40 cr Mumbai home near Shah Rukh Khan, Dubai mansion, global chai business and luxe car collection worth crores
Sanjay Dutt is one of the most well-known faces in the Hindi film industry and has seen various ups and downs in his 44-year-long career in films. Being the son of legendary actors Sunil Dutt and Nargis, all eyes were on Sanjay when he made his debut in 1981 with Rocky. Since then, Sanjay has delivered several iconic films — Vaastav, Kaante, Khal Nayak, Munna Bhai MBBS series and more. But films are not his only source of income. The actor has invested in multiple businesses and also owns properties in Mumbai and Dubai. Here's a look at his net worth and his lifestyle: Sanjay Dutt owns a prized home in Mumbai's posh locality of Pali Hill, Bandra. He is the neighbour of several Bollywood A-listers including Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Rekha, Farhan Akhtar and many more. The building — Imperial Heights — where Sanjay used to live with his wife Maanayata and their twins, Shahraan and Iqra, before shifting to Dubai, was constructed on the land where his parents — Sunil and Nargis — once had their bungalow named Ajanta. The bungalow was eventually demolished to make way for a high-rise building, which was named Imperial Heights. Along with Sanjay Dutt, his sisters — Priya and Namrata Dutt — also own flats in the same building. According to a report in The Times of India, the cost of Sanjay Dutt's apartment is approximately Rs 40 crore. Sanjay Dutt shifted to Dubai before 2020. The actor revealed that he moved there after his wife started her business in the UAE and their kids enjoyed living there. He told Times Of India, 'They love it there. They like their school and their activities. My wife's business has settled there. Sending them there wasn't a planned move. It just happened on its own. Maanayata was doing her own business in Dubai, it clicked and she went, and the kids went with her.' Sanjay Dutt keeps shuttling between Mumbai and Dubai to balance his work commitments in India and family life in the UAE. While the exact cost of his Dubai mansion isn't available in the public domain, Maanayata frequently shares glimpses of their luxurious home on social media. Decorated with paintings, luxurious chandeliers, leather sofas, a huge white kitchen and a swimming pool, the property reflects their global lifestyle. A post shared by Sanjay Dutt (@duttsanjay) Sanjay Dutt has ventured beyond films and invested in several businesses. He co-owns B-Love Kandy, a franchise cricket team that competed in the 2023 Lanka Premier League. According to GQ, he invested Rs 4 crore in the startup DawnTown, a sneakers and streetwear retailer. He also holds stakes in Cyber Media India. Most recently, he partnered with alcohol manufacturer Cartel & Bros to launch his own Scotch whisky brand, The Glenwalk. A post shared by Dawntown (@dawntownclothing) In addition to his business investments, Sanjay Dutt owns two production houses — Sanjay Dutt Productions and Three Dimension Motion Pictures. His banner recently backed the multi-starrer Bhootni. However, unlike his acting career, Dutt hasn't tasted much success as a producer, and most of his projects have failed to perform at the box office. In December last year, Sanjay Dutt forayed into the culinary space with the launch of Dutts' Franktea in Dubai, an online-only chai and street food brand. A post shared by Maanayata Dutt (@maanayata) The Khal Nayak star is known for his taste in luxury automobiles. According to reports, his collection includes some of the most premium cars in the market — Rolls-Royce Ghost (Rs 6.95–7.95 crore), Land Rover Range Rover Autobiography (Rs 2.99 crore), Audi R8 (Rs 2.72 crore), Ferrari 599 GTB (Rs 1.3 crore), and Audi Q7 (Rs 99.81 lakh).
