Bollywood’s Richest Family: From Selling Fruits to ₹10,000 Crore Net Worth – Not the Kapoors, Khans, Chopras, or Johars

Bollywood’s Richest Family: In the 1970s, he and his father bought a store selling music cassettes, which led to a change in his career path. After graduating, he founded Super Cassettes, a record label that later evolved into T-Series. Along with a number of other companies and an acting school in Noida, the firm currently owns one of the biggest movie studios in the nation. Given that the family began with very little money, it is undoubtedly a peak.

Their father, Bhushan, and brother, Kishan, Gulshan Kumar, was a fruit dealer in Delhi just a generation ago.

Many claim that the film industry has turned into a family enterprise.

The largest production companies and studios in Hindi cinema have been family-run for many years.

Some of the most well-known Bollywood families have become wealthier and more powerful as a result of this. In reality, the wealthiest of them all is valued at ₹10,000 crore.

The wealthiest Indians from all walks of life were identified by the Hurun India Rich List 2024.

The list also included a number of personalities from the film business, even if billionaires like Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani were at the top. The family of Bhushan Kumar, who owned the T-Series group of firms, was at the vanguard of Bollywood.

Industry sources say that Bhushan alone is responsible for up to four-fifths of the wealth controlled by the Kumars, even though the Hurun Rich List did not break down the money by individual. According to multiple sources, his sisters Tulsi Kumar and Khushali Kumar are valued at ₹250 crore and ₹100 crore, respectively. Kishan Kumar, Bhushan's uncle and co-owner of T-Series, provides the remaining family wealth.
