Karan Johar has made one of the biggest moves among Bollywood’s wealthiest names between the last two editions of the Hurun India Rich List. In 2024, the filmmaker-producer was valued at Rs. 1,400 crore and occupied the fifth spot among the Hindi film industry’s wealthiest names. A year later, his fortune has climbed to Rs. 1,880 crore, pushing him up to fourth place. That’s a jump of Rs. 480 crore in just one year, an increase of roughly 34%. And while the number itself is striking, the change in his position makes the comparison even more interesting.
