Karan Johar Overtakes Big B in Wealth Race
24 Sep
Summary
- Amitabh Bachchan's wealth rose by Rs. 30 crore to Rs. 1,630 crore.
- Karan Johar's wealth surged by Rs. 480 crore to Rs. 1,880 crore.
- Johar now leads Bachchan by Rs. 250 crore in the latest Hurun list.
Amitabh Bachchan's wealth has seen a modest increase, but his pace of growth lags behind peers like Karan Johar. In the latest Hurun India Rich List, Bachchan's fortune rose by Rs. 30 crore to Rs. 1,630 crore, a 1.9% increase.
This contrasts sharply with Karan Johar's financial surge. Johar's wealth escalated from Rs. 1,400 crore to Rs. 1,880 crore, an impressive gain of Rs. 480 crore, marking a growth of over 34%.
Consequently, Karan Johar has overtaken Amitabh Bachchan, now leading by Rs. 250 crore. Johar climbed to fourth place while Bachchan slipped to fifth, indicating a significant shift in their rankings within Bollywood's wealthiest.
Bachchan's steady, long-term wealth accumulation reflects decades of career and portfolio building without a single massive transaction. This contrasts with Johar's substantial boost, partly attributed to monetizing his stake in Dharma Productions.
