Naseeruddin Shah tops annual list of highest-paid actors
In 2022 it looked like the actor’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Monday (February 17) that Shah is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between January 2024 and January 2025, a nearly $30 million lead over his closest competition.
People With Money’s factors
In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.
The Indian actor-director has an estimated net worth of $185 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Shah Burger” chain) in New Delhi, a Football Team (the “Barabanki Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondershah - India), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Naseeruddin) and a fashion line called “Naseeruddin Shah Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Naseeruddin fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
