3. Shahrukh Khan: The Actor Entrepreneur

Shahrukh Khan is a household name in India and with Indians abroad too. Over the years Shahrukh Khan has changed from being nobody from Delhi to a person whose personal wealth amasses Rs 1500 making him the richest film actor in India. This could have been possible because he didn’t stick only to the film industry.

Most Decisive Moment: An actor’s shelf life is limited and you have to be consistent for a long period of time before you can reach a certain standing. Shahrukh having done that diversified and entered into movie production with Red Chillies entertainment. His company was quick to seize the IPL opportunity and bought Kolkata Knight Riders for a sum of Rs 295 crores which returned great profits. Red Chillies Entertainment is one of the companies that cover virtually all the entertainment sector in India – Films, TV, Special Effects, Ads and Cricket.
