As Bollywood superstar Salman Khan celebrated his 60th birthday on December 27, 2025, the spotlight turns not just to his enduring career but to the massive financial empire he has built. With a reported net worth of ₹2,900 crore, Khan stands as one of the industry's wealthiest figures, though he trails behind a few peers. His wealth is a complex tapestry woven from blockbuster films, a hugely successful television stint, savvy production ventures, and a portfolio of luxury properties and assets.
The Pillars of a Bollywood Fortune: Films & Production
Salman Khan's primary wealth engine remains his film career, now spanning over 37 years. According to widespread media reports, his acting fee commands an impressive ₹100 to 150 crore per film. In recent years, he has augmented his income by co-producing the movies he stars in through his banner, Salman Khan Films (SKF).
This production house doesn't just bank on his own star power; it also produces films featuring other actors, creating an additional revenue stream. SKF is in an expansion mode, with earlier announced plans to establish new film studios in Hyderabad's Bharat Future City. The banner's next major project is the war film Battle of Galwan, directed by Apoorva Lakhia.
Interestingly, even Khan's long-time personal security, Shera, has built substantial wealth in his shadow. Shera reportedly earns ₹2 crore annually as a celebrity bodyguard, and his security agency, Tiger Security, has contributed to a personal net worth estimated at around ₹100 crore.
The Bigg Boss Bonanza: A Television Goldmine
A significant and often highlighted portion of Salman Khan's earnings flows from hosting the reality TV juggernaut Bigg Boss. His fees for the show have seen dramatic escalations over the seasons.
Back in 2019, he was reported to charge ₹15 crore per weekend. This figure rose to ₹20 crore per weekend the following year. At the peak of the show's popularity in 2021, his fee reportedly hit ₹25 crore per weekend, translating to a staggering ₹350 crore for the entire season.
While there was a dip to ₹12 crore per weekend (earning ₹200 crore for the season) in 2022, he bounced back the following year with earnings of ₹250 crore for the season, which included a monthly take of around ₹60 crore. For the most recent Bigg Boss 19, the season's shorter length meant a relatively lower, yet colossal, payout of approximately ₹150 crore.
Properties, Wheels, and Watercraft: The 'Bhai' Lifestyle
Salman Khan's wealth is tangibly reflected in his impressive asset portfolio. His most famous residence is the sea-facing Galaxy Apartments in Bandra, Mumbai, an iconic landmark valued at an estimated ₹150 crore.
He also owns a sprawling 150-acre farmhouse in Panvel, valued at about ₹80 crore. Reports indicate further properties in Mumbai's upscale Worli and Carter Road areas, alongside luxury apartments in Dubai.
His garage boasts a fleet of luxury vehicles, including:
- Mercedes-Benz GL
- Toyota Land Cruiser
- Nissan Patrol
- Audi RS7
- BMW X6
- Range Rover
For aquatic getaways, Khan enjoys a luxury yacht, often docked at Alibaug. Originally bought by his brothers Arbaaz and Sohail in 2009, the yacht received a ₹3 crore luxury upgrade for his 50th birthday in 2015. The newer model can accommodate 10-15 people, is equipped for water sports, and serves as a private retreat from Mumbai.
The Bollywood Wealth Hierarchy: Where Does Salman Stand?
Despite his vast fortune, Salman Khan finds himself in a specific position within the Bollywood and pan-India actor wealth rankings. He is surpassed by Shah Rukh Khan, who leads with an estimated ₹7,500 crore, and also trails Hrithik Roshan (₹3,100 crore).
However, he remains ahead of other major contemporaries like Aamir Khan (₹1,900 crore) and Akshay Kumar (₹2,500 crore). Looking at actors across India, he is wealthier than legends Amitabh Bachchan (₹1,600 crore) and Chiranjeevi (₹1,650 crore), but is behind Telugu star Nagarjuna, who has an estimated net worth of ₹3,000 crore.
As Salman Khan steps into his seventh decade, his financial landscape reveals a blend of superstar earnings, astute business diversification, and a taste for the luxuries his success affords, solidifying his status as a true Bollywood mogul.
