How Abhay Deol went from 14 flops to the richest Deol: His ₹400 crore wealth is more than Sunny Deol-Bobby Deol combined
For a decade, even as box office success eluded Abhay Deol, the actor carved a niche for himself as the 'thinking man's star'. With carefully curated films and impeccable performances, Abhay became a favourite lead actor in the parallel genre of cinema. Eventually, box office success came his way, too, with gems like Dev D and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. But still, he was always the 'third Deol brother'. His cousins - Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol - had seen more success as leading men, giving blockbusters on their own in their heydays. Abhay Deol has a reported net worth of nearly $50 million ( ₹ 400 crore). Yet, over time, Abhay was able to set himself apart in one manner - business investments. The actor has now amassed a fortune that is in hundreds of crores, reportedly making him the richest Deol. And he has done that without the traditional box office windfall coming his way. Abhay Deol net worth Reports from Lifestyle Asia and Medium put Abhay Deol's net worth at ₹400 crore in 2023-24. This would mean he is about three times richer than Sunny Deol, who has a reported net worth of ₹120 crore. The younger Deol sibling, Bobby, has a reported net worth of around ₹70 crore. Both the senior Deols have seen their wealth being boosted by hit films in the last couple of years - Gadar 2 and Jaat for Sunny, and Animal for Bobby. Yet, their combined net worth is not even half as much as Abhay's. Abhay Deol is richer than his cousins Sunny and Bobby, who have both had more successful acting careers. How Abhay Deol built his millions Abhay Deol began his acting journey with Imtiaz Ali's Socha Na Tha in 2005. In the 20 years since, he has worked in 23 more films, apart from 4 web series. Box office success has been elusive to Abhay over the course of his career, with only three of his films - Dev D, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, and Raanjhana - being clean hits. The last two were ensemble films. 14 of his other films have been flops or disasters. Over the years, a few of his other films that did not do well in theatres have attained cult status, though, raising his stature. These include Oye Lucky Lucky Oye, Shanghai, and Ek Chalis Ki Last Local. Abhay reportedly earns around ₹10 crore a year from his acting ventures. Over the last few years, that has largely meant streaming projects like Trial By Fire. Abhay Deol has earned more from his restaurant business and investments than films. The secret to his enormous net worth is diversification. Early in his career, Abhay ventured into entrepreneurship, co-founding the successful restaurant chain The Fatty Cow. In addition, he owns a film production company called Forbidden Films. The actor also reportedly owns several properties. He had shelled out ₹27 crore for his Mumbai home years ago, and it is worth much more today. Abhay also owns properties in Mumbai and Punjab, apart from an eco-friendly glass house in Goa. Abhay Deol on money and wealth Despite being active in films for two decades, Abhay has led a life away from the limelight. Talking about his relationship with money and fame, he told ETimes in 2022: "I was never enamoured by fame, because money doesn't bring you happiness. Satisfaction comes from being who you are and having the freedom to do what you want to. That could be making small films, because they speak to you and they represent you with authenticity. That's worth more than any money in the world, any amount of fame." Abhay was last seen in the critically-acclaimed 2023 Netflix mini series, Trial By Fire, which also starred Rasika Deshpande in the lead role.

Meet Dharmendra's nephew whose Rs 400 crore fortune is 5 times bigger than Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol's earnings, his name is...
Known for Dev D and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Abhay Deol has never been the kind of actor to flood screens with back-to-back releases. Fans often have to wait years to see him again. His last major appearance was in the web series Trial By Fire. But here's the twist: despite doing fewer films, his bank balance tells a very different story. Not your typical Bollywood star Abhay prefers to stay away from constant publicity. He speaks only when needed, and usually lets his work do the talking. Yet, behind this calm public image lies a sharp businessman. According to a report by MensXP, Abhay's net worth stands at around Rs 400 crore—almost five times more than his cousin Bobby Deol's. Where does the money come from? Abhay charges close to Rs 3 crore per film, and acting alone brings him about Rs 10 crore annually. But his real boost comes from his business ventures. He co-owns a restaurant named The Fatty Cow, holds stakes in various projects, and runs his own production house—Forbidden Films. His production banner and investments Under Forbidden Films, Abhay has produced movies like One By Two (2014) and What Are The Odds (2020), both of which continue to generate returns. He also owns a lavish property in Mumbai worth Rs 27 crore. But his personal favourite? His home in Goa, where he spends much of his downtime. When it comes to cars, Abhay has a taste for luxury, with several high-end models in his collection. Bobby Deol's own success story Meanwhile, cousin Bobby Deol has also been making waves in recent years. As per Lifestyle Asia, his net worth is around Rs 66.7 crore. Bobby charges between Rs 4–6 crore per film and reportedly earned Rs 5 crore for his role in Animal. He also earns from brand endorsements, charging roughly Rs 1 crore per deal. After staying away from the spotlight for some time, Bobby bounced back with a 10-minute role in Animal that got fans talking. His web series Aashram was a massive hit, running for three seasons. Sunny Deol's net worth in comparison Bobby's elder brother, Sunny Deol, has a net worth of Rs 130 crore. Even when Bobby's and Sunny's fortunes are combined, they still don't surpass Abhay's staggering Rs 400 crore. While Bobby thrives with mainstream hits and Sunny enjoys his fan base, Abhay has chosen a slower, more private route, one that blends selective acting with smart investments. He may not chase the limelight, but when it comes to wealth, Abhay Deol has quietly outplayed his famous cousins.

Bollywood Actor-Entrepreneur Abhay Deol Rs 400 Crore Net Worth Richer Than Bobby
Last Updated: 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. view comments First Published: August 08, 2025, 11:36 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
