2) Vehicles worth INR13 crore (12 vehicles, including a Rolls-Royce, three Mercedes, a Porsche and a Range Rover. Amitabh also owns a Tata Nano and a tractor.)

3) Amitabh and Jaya's watches worth around INR3.4 crore and INR51 lakh respectively

4) A pen of Amitabh's worth over Rs 9 lakh

5) Properties in various Indian cities and a 3,175 sqm residential property in Brignogan Plage in France

All in all, the power couple have immovable assets worth more than INR460 crore and movable assets worth INR540 crore.

It's not surprising though is it? Amitabh's clout and following is such that a Hollywood star can only dream of.

Thousand crores is dwarfed by the fee Rajinikanth charges per film. His fee is 200 to 250 crores per film including distribution rights.

Or little more than $15 million? That's how much or many whizkids in Silcon Valley are worth these days with stock options and investments in High Tech companies.

Amitabh and Jays Bachchan are top ranking superstars of Bollywood and they are in the industry for more than 5 decades. Amitabh also faced financial problems in late 90s when his business venture ABCL incurred heavy losses. He was almost bankrupt. But he bounced back after launch of 'Kaun Banega Karodpati' , a hugely popular TV aerial.

Do they give anything to charity or built anything like an orphanage or school where poor kids can get education for free?

@Aravindan How do you know so accurately? In Amitabh's case the documents had to be filed. Where is such a proof available for Rajnikanth? Then I can also say that I charge Rs.400 crore per assignment.

Only two Bollywood stars whose movies i never miss. Amitabh Bachchan and Amir Khan. Actors like Amitabh are probably born once in centuries. Even world's top movie industries, cinema doesn't have an actor with the charisma that this man exudes. Best wishes for him.

No mention of cash and other investments . I am sure they must have those. I am sure they must be doing something good for the poor and disadvantaged in India.
