Rachit Gupta
Shah Rukh Khan: King Of The World

Shah Rukh Khan has been reported to have earned $38 million in 2017 alone. That’s about 244 crores of income in a single calendar year that’s not even come to a close yet. He sits at a modest number 65 in the annual 100 celebrity earnings list of Forbes. But he’s the highest ranked Indian, slightly above contemporaries Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar. With 26.2 million followers on Twitter and a global reach in excess of 3.5 billion, Shah Rukh Khan is a veritable international brand. King Khan has droves of fan clubs in countries like Germany, United Kingdom, Malaysia, Philippines, South Korea and almost all through the Middle East. Countries like Morocco extend SRK’s reach to the African continent too. He’s considered one of the most affluent film stars of the world. His net worth is predicted to be in the range of $ 650-750 million. A figure most Hollywood giants can only dream of.
