Explore Raj Kundra's journey from entrepreneur to Bollywood actor alongside wife Shilpa Shetty, highlighting his wealth and ventures in entertainment and business.
In today's era, it's common for top actors to demand Rs 100 crore per film, alongside earnings from their flourishing businesses. But did you know there's an actor who, despite appearing in just one film, surpasses the wealth of stars like Akshay Kumar, Prabhas, and Aamir Khan?
We're talking about Raj Kundra, a businessman-turned-actor, married to Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty. Kundra was born into a modest family of Indian descent in London; his mother made ends meet by working in a factory, while his father worked as a bus operator. Kundra left college early but didn't let that stop him from starting his own business. He started in Nepal and Dubai and was successful in selling pashmina shawls to British fashion retailers. This venture marked the beginning of his fortune, eventually ranking him the 198th richest British Asian by Success magazine.
Kundra made his film debut in a biopic called UT 69, portraying himself during a challenging time when he faced legal allegations related to adult films and spent time in a Mumbai prison. Despite this controversial backdrop, Kundra's wealth continued to soar. His net worth, estimated at around $350 million (Rs 3000 crore), places him among the wealthiest figures in entertainment globally, surpassing even renowned actors like Rajinikanth, Akshay Kumar, Aamir Khan, and Prabhas in wealth.
In addition to his acting career, Kundra co-owns the Rajasthan Royals IPL team with his wife, Shilpa Shetty. He also heads successful ventures like Groupco Developers and TMT Global, with investments spanning various sectors. Additionally, Kundra serves as CEO of J L Stream PVT Ltd, focusing on social media live-streaming platforms.
Raj Kundra's journey from humble beginnings to immense wealth exemplifies entrepreneurial success in both business and entertainment, cementing his status as a prominent figure in India's economic and cultural landscape.
