Amitabh Bachchan’s Rs. 30 crore rise Vs Karan Johar’s Rs. 480 crore jump: Hurun numbers explained

At first glance, Amitabh Bachchan’s latest Hurun India Rich List numbers don't look like a setback.

His wealth has actually increased.

But put last year’s figure next to this year’s, and the bigger story becomes clear: the Big B is still getting richer, just not as quickly as the names around him.

On last year’s Hurun list, Amitabh Bachchan and his family were estimated to be worth Rs.

1,600 crore, placing them fourth among Bollywood’s wealthiest names.

Karan Johar, at Rs.

1,400 crore, was fifth, Rs.

200 crore behind Bachchan.

A year later, Bachchan’s estimated wealth has edged up to Rs.

1,630 crore.

That’s an increase of Rs.

30 crore, or roughly 1.9%.

On its own, it is still growth.

But the change becomes more significant when compared with Johar’s numbers.
