Media magnate and visionary entrepreneur Ronnie Screwvala has officially become Bollywood’s first billionaire, according to the 2025 Forbes Billionaire List.
With a staggering net worth of $1.5 billion, Screwvala now holds the distinction of being not only the richest man in Bollywood but also the only one to enter the billionaire club from the Indian entertainment industry.
His wealth surpasses the combined net worth of Bollywood’s three biggest stars — Shah Rukh Khan ($770 million), Salman Khan ($390 million), and Aamir Khan ($220 million) — whose cumulative wealth stands at $1.38 billion.
This milestone marks a significant shift in the financial landscape of Indian cinema, where actors have traditionally dominated headlines related to earnings and stardom.
