The term “star kid” originally referred to the children of actors and filmmakers, many of whom became public figures themselves. Over time, as these individuals gained fame, the term took on a more critical tone, particularly with the rise of the concept of “nepo babies.” Despite this, many star kids have accumulated significant wealth, often surpassing some of Bollywood’s biggest names.
Hrithik Roshan, the son of filmmaker Rakesh Roshan, currently holds the title of the richest ‘star kid’ in India. With a net worth of Rs 3100 crore (over $370 million), Hrithik significantly outpaces other prominent figures like Saif Ali Khan (Rs 1200 crore), Abhishek Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor (Rs 400 crore), Alia Bhatt (Rs 550 crore), and South Indian stars such as Ram Charan (Rs 1340 crore), Jr NTR (Rs 500 crore), and Prabhas (Rs 300 crore). His wealth even surpasses some of India’s biggest stars, including Aamir Khan (Rs 1800 crore), Rajinikanth (Rs 400 crore), and Salman Khan (Rs 2900 crore).
While Hrithik is one of the most successful actors of his generation, earning up to Rs 85 crore per film, most of his wealth comes from his business ventures. His sportswear brand, HRX, valued at Rs 1000 crore, is one of the most successful businesses owned by an Indian actor. In addition to HRX, Hrithik has various business investments and holds a stake in his father’s production company.
