Bollywood's richest Kapoor
Alia Bhatt, who entered the Kapoor clan after marrying Ranbir Kapoor, is the richest Kapoor in Bollywood now. The actor, who cheekily referred to herself as Alia Bhatt Kapoor in a recent appearance on Kapil Sharma's show, has an estimated net worth of ₹550 crore, according to GQ. This makes her one of the richest actresses in India, ahead of many of her contemporaries and even seniors. Her sister-in-law Kareena Kapoor comes in next with a reported net worth of ₹500 crore. Husband Ranbir Kapoor rounds up the top three with a reported net worth of ₹345 crore.
How Alia Bhatt trumped her seniors in the Kapoor clan
Alia Bhatt is certainly among the most successful and sought-after female stars of her generation. As per reports, the actor charges as high as ₹15 crore per film and up to ₹9 crore per endorsement. Being prolific with her films and associating herself with many brands has allowed Alia to build her massive fortune. But the biggest factor responsible in the growth of her wealth has been her diversification as an entrepreneur.
Alia owns clothing brand Ed-a-Mamma. In 2023, when Reliance Retail Ventures (RRVL) acquired a 51% stake in the brand, it was reported that the brand was valued at over ₹150 crore. Recent reports have put the brand's value at even higher, around ₹300 crore. But there is no data to confirm that.
Alia Bhatt's upcoming work
Alia will be next seen in YRF Spy Universe's first female-led spy thriller Alpha. The film also stars Sharvari alongside her. It will release sometime in 2025. The actor also has Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love & War in the pipeline. The period drama also stars Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal in the lead roles.
