A crorepati was considered a very rich person a few decades ago. But inflation has meant that getting to Rs 1 crore net worth is not a jaw-dropping achievement anymore. However, it does beggar belief when you learn that a 17-year-old has a net worth of Rs 8 crore, making them the richest child actor in India
