I've always heard he was the richest or one of the richest. If it was just down to his movies then maybe not, but a lot of his earnings come from outside of films like his various investments (properties in the Gulf, kidzania etc), production house, brand endorsements, IPL team, attending events etc...

Heck, he didn't even charged money for his films. So, the earnings definitely come from his non-film stuff.

SRK buys two miniplexes in his wife Gauri's hometownBy Manjeet Sehgal Published: 22:23 GMT, 22 May 2014 | Updated: 22:23 GMT, 22 May 2014 Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan has bought two miniplexes in Hoshiarpur, his wife's hometown, in Punjab. Shah Rukh's father-in-law Col. Ramesh Chander Chhibber originally hails from Patti village in Hoshiarpur district. Before migrating to Delhi in 1970, the Chhibbers lived in the Suthari road area of Hoshiarpur. Their house has now been converted into a shopping mall. Adding another feather to the town, actor Shah Rukh Khan recently invested in a local venture, buying a 75 per cent share in two miniplexes constructed by local businessman Shyam Sunder Sharma. Shyam Sunder Sharma told Mail Today that Gauri, Shah Rukh's wife, and her parents used to visit his shop before her marriage. "I am basically a cloth merchant. Gauri along with Col. Chhibber was a regular visitor. She was fond of fashionable clothes since childhood," Sharma said. Hotel Shiraj Regency where the two miniplexes of 99 seats each capacity have been converted is owned by Sharma. "I have built the miniplexes and now own 25 per cent of its shares. Rest is jointly owned by Shah Rukh Khan and Bollywood director Ramgopal Verma. We are waiting for the no objection certificate. we plan to inaugurate the miniplexes in June and have invited SRK for the inauguration," Sharma added.

I hate it when they talk about SRK's earnings...how could they possibly know? and it always brings on the inevitable salman(ella) fans, crying *but salman gives all his money to charity* (I always feel compelled to reply something along the lines of SRK not having to make a public show of charity cos he didnt kill anyone...but that's another story!)
another fact nobody seems to think of, is that most of the actors in Hollywood would be a lot richer if it wasnt for the huge settlements they have to pay out to ex-wives...lol

Exclusive: Shah Rukh Khan makes a quiet entry at KJo's bashMay 25, 2014 Movie-Buff 7399 reads 12 comments Karan Johar threw his 42nd birthday bash at his residence last night. We saw A-listers like Hrithik Roshan, Aamir Khan among others entering the party and were quite surprised when we didn't spot Karan's good friend Shah Rukh Khan at the party. Well, a little birdie tells us that SRK was indeed present there. Yes, King Khan made a quiet entry and refused to be clicked by the shutterbugs. We wonder why that happened considering how media friendly Shah Rukh is! Filmfare editor, Jitesh Pillai who was also present at the birthday bash tweeted saying, "Happiness is @iamsrk. So good to see u last night. U work too hard but. After partying till 5 he's reached for a 7 am shift at film city" There have been a lot of speculations about the growing distance between Karan and Shah Rukh. All those rumours were further proved right when Shah Rukh did not feature on this season of Koffee with Karan. However, Karan who still considers SRK closest to his heart had something else to say. To top it all, after hearing about Shah Rukh attending his birthday bash, we are guessing all's good. www.pinkvilla.com/entertainmenttags/shah-rukh-khan/exclusive-shah-rukh-khan-makes-quiet-entry-kjos-bash

All smoke no fire...By Vickey Lalwani, Mumbai Mirror | May 27, 2014, 02.52 AM IST Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan had a tongue-in-cheek repartee at KJo's birthday bash. Karan Johar's birthday party on Saturday night saw Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan indulge in some friendly banter. Shah Rukh entered the party at KJo's new Bandra residence, and was soon puffing away in a corner, chatting with Manmohan Shetty's younger daughter Aarti. Minutes later, Hrithik Roshan entered and immediately started a conversation with Jacqueline Fernandes. Soon, Hrithik too wanted to light up but upon searching his pockets, he realised that he had left his cigarettes at home. He looked around, spotted Shah Rukh and approached him for a cigarette. The actor obliged but the offering was made with a comment which took Hrithik by surprise. "Yeh acting wali cigarette hai. After smoking this you will learn how to do this," said Shah Rukh, making his signature gesture of opening his arms wide open. The people around froze but Hrithik took the joke in his stride and retorted. "Now that you have lent me a cigarette, you will be able to do this too," he said, breaking into the famous move from Ek Pal Ka Jeena from his debut film Kaho Naa...Pyaar Hai Hrithik walked away with the cigarette in hand. And the party continued uninterrupted. www.mumbaimirror.com/entertainment/bollywood/All-smoke-no-fire--/articleshow/35624495.cms

Bollywood King Shah Rukh Khan Drives Nearly 28,000 Visitors To Wealth-X Website And Generates Worldwide Media Exposure
Although American comedian Jerry Seinfeld topped Wealth-X’s Actors Rich List last week, that wasn’t the name that grabbed international headlines and drove 27,870 unique visitors to Wealth-X’s website, including more than 10,000 in one day! The man responsible for the influx of visitors and the worldwide media coverage is “Bollywood King” Shah Rukh Khan. Ranked at number 2 – and with an estimated US$600 million personal fortune – the Indian actor was the only Bollywood star on the list. More importantly, SRK (as he is known to his fans worldwide) came out on top of Tom Cruise, who was ranked 3rd with a personal fortune of $480 million, and Oscar winners Tom Hanks (US$400 million), Jack Nicholson (US$390 million) and Clint Eastwood (US$370 million). This was the main point emphasized by various Indian media outlets such as the venerable Times of India newspaper, which is read by 40 million readers globally, and the Press Trust of India, the country’s national press agency. Broadcasters in India such as NDTV and BBC India also reported the Wealth-X Rich List. The Shah Rukh Khan story also received massive international media coverage such as this article in The Guardian, ABC News America, Time Magazine, Huffington Post Canada, Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post, Saudi Arabia’s Arab Newsand Czech Republic’s e15.cz website. In response to the global media coverage, SRK commented on the Wealth-X list in an exclusive interview with the Hindustan Times that: “I do feel happy, but these are just names given to somebody who is doing something that people feel is special. These are standard measures. They don’t define you… I think I am rich because I have beautiful children.” www.wealthx.com/articles/2014/bollywood-king-shah-rukh-khan-drives-nearly-28000-visitors-to-wealth-x-website-and-generates-worldwide-media-exposure/

Anupam Kher to shoot with SRK for his TV showShah Rukh Khan's rise from being a TV actor to becoming the second richest actor in the world with a net worth of $600 million, makes him an interesting subject for an inspirational chat show. No wonder then that Anupam Kher has invited the superstar for his show "...Kucch Bhi Ho Sakta Hai". The actors will shoot here Thursday for an episode that's likely to air on Colors in July. According to a source from the show's set, "Anupam Kher has been very keen to feature SRK on the show because the story of his rise to fame is one of the most inspirational and endearing ones". "SRK has been busy with his cricket-related commitments, owing to which he hasn't shot for the show yet, but he is also looking to reunite with his on-screen father from 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge'. They share a great rapport and the shoot promises to be a treat for audiences when they get a glimpse of it." The show, an extension of Anupam's eponymous autobiographical play, highlights inspirational stories of popular Bollywood celebrities, who come and share their journey - its challenges and testing times. Anupam himself has produced the show. www.business-standard.com/article/news-ians/anupam-kher-to-shoot-with-srk-for-his-tv-show-114060500475_1.html

Shah Rukh Khan-Ajay Devgn hug and bury the hatchetMeena Iyer,TNN | Jun 11, 2014, 12.00 AM IST On Monday, Ajay Devgn, who was shooting at a school in Bandra, got an unexpected visitor on the sets — Shah Rukh Khan. The latter was driving past Mehboob Studio when he spotted Rohit Shetty's Man Friday, Subhash. In his flamboyant style, he rolled down his windows and asked the valet what he was doing in the area. Subhash informed him that Ajay Devgn, Rohit and Kareena Kapoor Khan were shooting at a school close by and he was doing some miscellaneous shopping for them. Instead of heading to Mannat, SRK took a slight detour and went over to the Singham Returns shoot. He surprised everyone by walking up to Ajay and giving him a warm hug. Those present on the set state that Rohit and Kareena's jaws dropped on seeing the bonhomie between the two superstars, who had had a bitter fallout during the clash of their Diwali releases — Jab Tak Hai Jaan and Son of Sardaar in 2012. While Rohit has always wanted the two most important men in his life — Ajay and SRK to warm up to one another, what happened on Monday in Mumbai left him stunned. This meeting was unexpected, spontaneous and emotional. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news-interviews/Shah-Rukh-Khan-Ajay-Devgn-hug-and-bury-the-hatchet/articleshow/36352868.cms

Karan Johar seeks help from Ra.One pal Mehul S. Thakkar | June 18, 2014, 22.06 pm IST While a lot has been spoken about the rift between Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar, on the work front there seems to be some development. Karan Johar has reached out to Shah Rukh’s Red Chillies Entertainment for the VFX of Ayan Mukerji’s next superhero flick starring Ranbir Kapoor. A source said, “The preparations for Ayan’s film has already started. There is still a lot of time for it to go on the floors, it needs ample of pre-production time as well. It has a lot of action and will need a lot of VFX. Ayan also has plans to go to LA to understand VFX in detail so that he can shoot his scenes better. And to achieve this mammoth task, Dharma Productions’ head honcho has reached out to his good friend SRK. The source added, “Red Chillies has garnered lot of acclaim for the VFX it has done for Krrish 3. In fact, Ra.One had the kind of VFX no one had ever seen in an Indian movie. Karan is in talks with Red Chillies. They are discussing the logistics to have them on board. The deal hasn’t been finalised yet.” Karan asking help from SRK for a Ranbir Kapoor film — this one is a collaboration to watch out for. www.deccanchronicle.com/140618/entertainment-bollywood/article/karan-johar-seeks-help-raone-pal

Shah Rukh Khan’s branding uninterruptedIn our (Watch out SRK, RK to enter?) June 16 edition, we had carried an article saying Shah Rukh Khan may stop endorsing a luxury watch brand. However, well-placed sources with the brand deny the reports, saying their association with the superstar is going strong and there's no parting of ways. " The question of replacing him doesn't arise," says a source, adding, " We've had a great association with our brand ambassador Shah Rukh Khan for over 10 years and we're looking forward to continuing this relationship going forward as well." timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news-interviews/Shah-Rukh-Khans-branding-uninterrupted/articleshow/36824026.cms The desperate PR attempt by the other actor should rest in peace for now. This is a no chips, outdated soft drink kind of a deal.

Grrr... i vaguely remember all abt that- could u please refresh my memory? and yey! i'm so glad. i love the fact that he's TH ambassador, love their watches please i would also like to know too. I have always wondered why srk was dropped from Pepsi when the promos & product was doing absolutely fine. I thought pepsi wasn't existing again in india until later i found out it has Ranbir as the brand ambassador. But even with Ranbir, the product doesn't feel popular as it used to be! What actuallly happened.

I don't think it's that big a deal personally, brandings and sponsorships changign is so common normally. Truth to be told, I don't even know which brands SRK has right now and which he doesn't. Yes Pepsi did have SRK for a really long time so it was surprising and a bit sad but I dont' think we should take it so personally. In a way, they had a relationship for so long is in itself creditable. But it would have ended sooner or later. They couldn't have him forever.
They just decided to go with someone younger and to be fair, Ranbir is the most likely candidate for the next biggest star at the moment (though I don't even like him that much), so I wouldn't even call it a bad choice from a marketing point. They probably wanted to grab him before anyone else. And perhaps having both stars wasn't worth it for them so they decided to go for the future prospect.
Not that I buy Pepsi anyway, i tend to get coke most of the time, so not saying I support them. But I guess I don't exactly hate them specifically for it.My liking of brands certainly isn't dependent on who they sponsor.
