Yash Chopra & Family Net Worth: 7,500 Crore! From Aditya Chopra To Rani Mukerji, This Is One Big Happy & ‘Rich’ Family

Film families in India hold their rich legacy close to their hearts. From Raj Kapoor, Shammi Kapoor and Shashi Kapoor following in the footsteps of their father, Prithviraj Kapoor, to Nagarjuna paving the way for sons, Naga Chaitanya and Akhil Akkineni, the cinema business in India is predominantly run by such well-established families. While most of these clans have been leading from the front, enchanting the audience with their screen presence, there’s also one joint film family whose leading man gets all the work done from behind the camera. Yes, we are talking about the Yash Chopra family and Aditya Chopra.

Aditya Chopra, filling his father Yash Chopra’s shoes, has created an empire of his own. The man known for creating magic behind the camera rarely makes public appearances, but he sure lets his work speak for him. While it was the late Yash Chopra who established Yash Raj Films back in the ’70s, it’s Aditya Chopra who can be credited with shouldering the largest banner in India, producing some of the highest-grossing films in the history of Indian cinema. This has also established Adi as one of the richest film producers in India, and the Chopra family’s net worth has left the Bachchans and Kapoors behind. Boasting a staggering combined net worth of Rs. 7500 crore (over $900 million) and running two of the most successful houses or studios, the Chopra clan is India’s richest film family.

PWD employee Vilayati Raj Chopra, who lived in Punjab in the pre-Partition era, had two children, BR Chopra and Yash Chopra, who became filmmakers and established their production houses, BR Films and Yash Raj Films, respectively. BR Chopra had a son, Ravi Chopra, while Aditya Chopra and Uday Chopra are Yash Chopra’s sons. Aditya Chopra is married to Bollywood actress Rani Mukerji, who also contributes significantly to the Chopra family’s wealth.
