Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, has notched up his position among the world celebrities after emerging as the second richest actor in the world in a list that put together the world’s ten richest actors (including Hollywood as well as Bollywood). Though SRK lost the top slot to American comedian Jerry Sienfeld who is estimated to be worth 820 million USD.
Following him up on the list is Khan himself, who as per a leading daily is estimated to be worth over 600 million USD. Getting the second slot on the coveted list resulted in Khan ousting Hollywood giants like Tom Hanks, Adam Sandler and Tom Cruise.
SRK’s multidimensional career as an entrepreneur came handy. Khan who owns his production house, cricket team at the IPL – Kolkata Knight Riders as well as a VFX company under the wing of the production house, is on the peak of his career. With his last film Chennai Express making over 226 crores at the domestic box office alone, Khan with this has established himself as the undisputed personality of Bollywood.
Tom Cruise followed up SRK on the list grabbing the third spot. Estimated to be worth around 480 million USD, the Mission Impossible star beat actors Tom Hanks and Tyler Perry by a very small margin. Both Perry and Depp stood at an estimate worth 450 million USD.
There was a time when many across the world denoted Shah Rukh Khan as the Indian Tom Cruise. It’s time we call Cruise, Hollywood’s Shah Rukh Khan! We extend our heartiest congratulations to King Khan to give us another opportunity to feel proud of us.
