The term star kid – or its meaner cousin nepo kid – may be used as a derogatory jibe today, but in essence, it denotes any actor or film personality that comes from a film family or is the son or daughter of an established film personality. While many have faded into obscurity, a lot of star kids have succeeded too. In fact, one has attained so much success that they have built a net worth of Rs 3100 crore.
India richest star kid
Not Jr NTR, Ram Charan, or even Ranbir Kapoor, India’s richest star kid is Hrithik Roshan. The son of actor-filmmaker Rakesh Roshan and the grandson of composer Roshan, Hrithik has been one of Bollywood’s top stars for over two decades. During this time, Hrithik has amassed a massive reported net worth of Rs 3100 crore over the last few years. Hrithik’s wealth far surpasses other successful star kids in the film industry, including Ranbir Kapoor (Rs 345 crore), Jr NTR (Rs 450 crore), Ram Charan (Rs 1300 crore), Prabhas (Rs 250 crore), Varun Dhawan (Rs 50 crore), Alia Bhatt (Rs 550 crore), and Kareena Kapoor (Rs 485 crore). In fact, Hrithik’s Rs 3100-crore net worth makes him even richer than A-list superstars like Aamir Khan (Rs 1850 crore), Salman Khan (Rs 2900 crore), and Akshay Kumar (Rs 800 crore).

The biggest source of Hrithik’s wealth has not been films but his business investments outside Bollywood. The actor has no doubt been extremely successful with hits like Krissh, War series as well as the recent Fighter. This has helped him charge up to Rs 100 crore per film. But earnings from films are a minority part of his wealth. The bulk of it comes from his business venture HRX. The sportswear brand has Hrithik as the founder, face, and one of the biggest investors. As of 2024, the company is worth Rs 7300 crore, giving Hrithik the lion’s share of his immense wealth.
