Ram Kapoor says he has earned enough money to support four generations, bought Rs 5 crore Lamborghini ‘without thinking'
Ram Kapoor became a household name after his roles in Kasam Se and Bade Ache Lagte Hai. Being among one of the highest-paid television stars of his generation, Ram Kapoor has collected several luxury cars, including Mercedes-AMG G63, BMW X5, a Porsche, a Ferrari, and most recently, a Lamborghini Urus worth approximately Rs 5.21 crore. The actor recently shared that he has earned enough money for at least four generations, and can afford expensive things 'without thinking' too much about it.
In an interview with Humans of Bombay, the actor said, 'I have always been crazy petrol-head. I have really been into cars and bikes. People who are into cars and bikes like me, and people who can afford it, they mostly have these collections. The difference is mine is talked about, while my friends who have better collections than me are not in the public eye, because they mostly belong to the corporate world, theirs are not talked about. So if someone is a petrol-head like me, once you can afford it without thinking, you will have it because I don't like spending money on anything except that.'
He added, 'Watches and cars are the only things I love, so people who can afford these watches they have fantastic watch collections. It's just that a lot of people who have it, they like to keep quiet about it. Even we want to keep quiet but unfortunately because I am in the public eye, the media gets to know about it. Yes, I do have a car collection. I have a Ferrari, a Porsche but the thing is we don't like to show it off.'

Ram Kapoor said he never personally posts about any of his luxury purchases, but the news somehow gets out. 'When I bought the Lamborghini, I had clearly told the dealer that don't put press there. However, they had their in-house photographer. Now, the minute they uploaded it on their site, the media took it. How can I stop this? I am lucky that I can afford all this.'
In the same interview, Ram Kapoor claimed that he along with his fellow actors like Sakshi Tanwar and Ronit Roy have earned enough for at least four generations. He said, 'It is not that television actors make as much as film actors. But if you have a hit show which lasts for 7-8 years and if you are at the top of television or making a lot of money, your per month cheque is equal to your salary for 8 years. People like me, Sakshi and Ronit, if you have been on television for 20 years and are sensible then you have made enough for at least 3-4 generations.' While Ram Kapoor invests his time and money in buying fancy cars and luxury watches, his wife Gautami Kapoor guides him when it comes to fashion. 'I do wear brands and all that but most of it is curated by my wife. She often suggests me new collections and trends.'
According to reports, the actor owns a massive house in Mumbai, and also is the owners of lavish properties in Goa and Khandala. Apart from these, the actor also owns a vacation property in Alibaug worth Rs 20 crore.
