In an astonishing turn of events, Juhi Chawla, the 90s Bollywood sensation, has overtaken some of India’s top actresses like Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, and Alia Bhatt to become the richest actress in the country.
According to the Hurun Rich List of 2024, Juhi Chawla’s net worth has reached an astounding INR 46 billion (USD 580 million), placing her among the world’s top ten wealthiest actresses.
While Juhi hasn’t delivered a major film hit in recent years, her financial success comes from her shrewd business ventures.
She is co-owner of the IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders, alongside her long-time friend and business partner Shah Rukh Khan.
Red Chillies Entertainment, the production house co-founded by Juhi, has been a cornerstone in her wealth accumulation.
Her massive net worth is far higher than her contemporaries and juniors. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan trails behind with a net worth of INR 8.5 billion, followed by Priyanka Chopra at INR 6.5 billion. Alia Bhatt and Deepika Padukone rank fourth and fifth, respectively.
Juhi’s investments in real estate and businesses, combined with her husband Jay Mehta’s family fortune, have placed her leagues ahead of other top actresses, making her a formidable financial powerhouse in Bollywood.
