Juhi Chawla Tops Richest Actress List

Juhi Chawla has been named India's richest actress, with a net worth of ₹4,600 crore as per the Hurun Rich List of 2024, despite not having a box office hit since 2009. Her wealth is surpassed only by Shah Rukh Khan among Indian actors, due largely to her successful business ventures, including co-founding the Red Chillies Group and co-owning the Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Priyanka Chopra follow her in terms of wealth, with net worths of ₹850 crore and ₹650 crore, respectively. The early 90s marked a significant era when Indian actors first earned over ₹1 crore per film, leading to lucrative endorsement deals and business opportunities. Juhi's financial strategy has involved substantial investments in real estate and other businesses with her husband, businessman Jay Mehta. Despite her last notable film being 'Luck By Chance' in 2009, Juhi's diversified income streams have established her as a top financial success in Bollywood.
