Who's the world's richest actor with ₹11,764 crore but just one hit? Spoiler: It's neither Shah Rukh Khan nor Tom Cruise!
Neither Shah Rukh Khan nor Tom Cruise is the world's richest actor.
It may be difficult to accept that a celebrity with only one successful film series is the "richest actor in the world." When we consider the wealthiest actors, some of the well-known names like Tom Cruise, Shahrukh Khan, and Dwayne Johnson may come to mind, but in reality, they are simply the richest.
The Richest actor is Tyler Perry
He is an actor, director, and billionaire. Tyler Perry is at the top of the list of the richest actors in the world.
The actor from The Diary of a Mad Black Woman has the largest net worth of any male actor in the world, at $1.4 billion, or slightly more than ₹11,764 crore. Comedian Jerry Seinfeld, whose net worth is $1 billion (₹8,403 crore), comes in at number two on the list.
Bollywood's King Khan and Hollywood's Dwayne Johnson are not far behind. The current net worth of Dwayne Johnson is $890 million, or ₹7,478 crore.
What is the net worth of Shah Rukh?
Shah Rukh Khan, meanwhile, has a net worth of $870 million, or about ₹7,310 crore. Tom Cruise, the star of Mission Impossible, has a net worth of $800 million (₹6,722 crore), which is less than Shah Rukh Khan's.
Acting is not the only source of income for Tyler Perry, even if he makes billions from the entertainment industry.
Forbes estimates that Perry has made $320 million, or roughly 2,679 crores, as the producer and creator of Madea and his other plays and films. Since he is one of the few Hollywood actors with a studio of his own, he can create content directly and cut out the intermediary.
Additionally, according to Forbes, Tyler Perry has $40 million (about ₹334 crore) in "homes and toys" and $300 million (around ₹2,511 crore) in "cash and investments." He is now the wealthiest actor in the world as a result.
