As Salman Khan celebrates his 60th birthday on December 27, 2025, the Bollywood icon stands as a towering figure in the Indian film industry, with an estimated net worth of ₹2,900 crore. This impressive fortune is the result of a career spanning over three decades, marked by blockbuster films, lucrative brand endorsements, and strategic investments.
Khan's primary source of income remains his acting career, where he commands ₹100 crore or more per film, often coupled with a share of the profits. Some of his most successful films include "Sultan", "Dabangg", "Bajrangi Bhaijaan," and the "Tiger" series. In 2017, he reportedly received ₹130 crore as acting fees alone for "Tiger Zinda Hai". Beyond acting, Khan also earns a substantial amount from hosting the reality show "Bigg Boss," reportedly taking home ₹250 crore per season.
Adding to his wealth are numerous brand endorsements. Khan has been the face of several major brands, including Pepsi, Thums Up, Suzuki, Relaxo, Wheel, and Dixcy Scott. His endorsement fees are estimated to be between ₹7-₹10 crore per campaign. In December 2024, he was also appointed as the brand ambassador for the inaugural Kho Kho World Cup 2025.
Khan's entrepreneurial ventures also significantly contribute to his financial empire. In 2007, he founded the Being Human Foundation, a charity that supports education and healthcare for the underprivileged in India. The foundation generates revenue through the sale of Being Human-branded merchandise. In 2011, Khan launched his own film production company, SKBH Productions, followed by Salman Khan Films (SKF) in 2014. SKF has produced several commercially successful films, including "Bajrangi Bhaijaan", "Hero", "Bharat" and "Dabangg 2 & 3".
Khan's real estate portfolio is another key component of his ₹2,900 crore empire. His primary residence is a 1BHK apartment in Galaxy Apartments, Bandra West, Mumbai, which has been his home for decades and is estimated to be worth around ₹16 crore. He also owns a 150-acre farmhouse in Panvel, known as Arpita Farms, valued at approximately ₹80 crore. This farmhouse includes amenities such as a swimming pool, gym, horse stables, and guest villas. Other properties include a beach house in Gorai, a luxury apartment in Dubai, and commercial properties in Mumbai.
Despite his immense success, Khan's life has been marked by controversies and legal troubles. However, his popularity remains undiminished, and he continues to be one of the most beloved and commercially successful actors in Indian cinema. As he turns 60, Salman Khan's enduring appeal and astute business decisions ensure his continued reign as a Bollywood superstar. To mark Khan's 60th birthday, his fan clubs organized 600 charity drives across India and overseas, distributing food, blankets, and books among the underprivileged.
