This 59-Year-Old Star Once Earned Rs 50, Now He's One Of The Richest Actors In The World
Recent reports indicate that Shahrukh Khan's net worth stands at approximately $876.5 million, equivalent to around Rs 7500 crore in Indian currency, making him the wealthiest actor in the country.
The year 2023 marked a remarkable comeback for Khan with the commercial successes of 'Jawan' and 'Pathaan', each crossing the Rs 1000 crore mark at the box office. Additionally, 'Dunki', directed by Rajkumar Hirani, also achieved considerable success.
Beyond his film career, Khan, popularly known as Bollywood's Badshah, owns a production house and an IPL cricket team. He resides in a luxurious Mumbai home valued at Rs 200 crore.
However, Khan's journey to stardom began humbly. In a past interview, he revealed that he initially earned a very modest salary. He recounted selling tickets in theatres for his first job, earning Rs 50.
Currently, Shahrukh Khan is in the limelight for his upcoming film 'King'. His daughter, Suhana Khan, will also feature in the film, which is projected to have a production cost of around Rs 200 crore.

Coolie: Will Aamir Khan's cameo be enough to elevate Rajinikanth's Tamil gangster drama in Hindi?
Rajinikanth is gearing up for the release of Coolie, one of the biggest films of the year. The film has created a buzz among fans as it features the veteran mass hero in a new avatar. It has been dubbed in Hindi as Coolie The Powerhouse. This version will be released alongside the original Tamil version on August 14. Aamir Khan essays a key role in the gangster drama and many expect him to drive the film's business in Hindi. This, however, may not be the case. Coolie: A single star alone can't benefit the film, says trade analyst Aamir Khan has a cameo in Coolie and features prominently in the trailer. He is regarded as one of Bollywood's biggest names and recently gave strong proof of his star power with Sitaare Zameen Par, which grossed Rs 263 crore (approx) at the box office and emerged as a blockbuster. His popularity, however, may not be enough to compel the audience to watch Coolie in Hindi. Rohit Jaiswal, a trade analyst, told Indiatimes that it is 'irrelevant' to discuss Aamir's impact on Coolie's collections in Hindi as 'no single star' can determine the date of a film. 'The trailer was okay. Aamir is a star but ultimately we go to watch a film based on the content. If the content is good, Coolie will be a success. However, I don't see his involvement alone benefiting the business,' he said. Vettaiyan, Rajinikanth's previous release, too didn't find many takers in Hindi despite the fact that it featured Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan in a key role. The action thriller collected just Rs 4.51 crore in Hindi and ended up as a flop. It remains to be seen whether Coolie, which is set to clash with War 2, does better than Vettaiyan on this front. About Coolie Coolie is a gangster drama directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. It revolves around a former kingpin with an axe to grind with some old foes. The film also explores the murky world of gold smuggling. Shruti Haasan makes an effortlessly stunning entry!❣️ #CoolieUnleashed ✨@rajinikanth @Dir_Lokesh @anirudhofficial #AamirKhan @iamnagarjuna @nimmaupendra #SathyaRaj #SoubinShahir @shrutihaasan #Coolie #CoolieFromAug14 The trailer suggests that it features action sequences, punch dialogues, and catchy songs. The cast is headlined by Rajinikanth, Aamir Khan, Upendra, Nagarjuna, and Shruti Haasan. It will hit the screens on August 14 alongside Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's War 2.
