That is a lot of money.

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

Well deserved assets.

That's all you got! I have 209 Rolls Royces, 221 Porches, 2114356 pairs of watches, 1256749 pairs of hawai slippers, 2009879 used ball pen refills, 6.8 million acres of land in the USSR and twenty bucks in my purse.

She has no assets left.

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.

Almost 45 years + hard earn money atleast they paid there taxes congratulations to Indian government, but sad part is hard working farmer's still struggling for there right, nothing to do with sir bachchan

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.

@Falcon1 its 150million dollar

ahamed Mar 15, 2018 06:44pm

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.

Syma Mar 16, 2018 04:10am

So, all that glitter is gold :) nothing wrong in earning an honest buck, and in their case, 1000 crores ...am sure n I hope,they are giving back to the society also by helping the poor n needy

Good. It ensures that Abhishek B can spend more on his Kabaddi team ( Jaipur Pink Panthers ) and ISL team( Chennaiyin FC) !!

Salman Mar 16, 2018 10:20am
