Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar is once again in the spotlight, not just for his films, but for opening up about his journey toward financial independence and security. Currently earning applause for his role in Jolly LLB 3 alongside Arshad Warsi, Akshay recently appeared on the third season finale of The Great Indian Kapil Show, where he shared a more personal side of his life: money, investments, and what sparked his interest in wealth building.
Akshay Kumar's investment journey
During the conversation with Kapil Sharma, the actor was asked when he first felt like a "star", not in terms of fame, but financial stability. Akshay recalled about a moment from his younger days when he came across a news article stating that veteran actor Jeetendra had a fixed deposit worth Rs 100 crore. The sheer magnitude of that figure amazed him. Curious and a bit overwhelmed, he ran to his father and asked how much monthly income such a deposit would generate.
His father told him that back then, interest rates were around 13%, which meant a monthly return of Rs 1.3 crore from that fixed deposit alone. That revelation became a turning point in Akshay’s mindset, he realised that wealth wasn’t just about earning, but also about investing smartly and creating consistent passive income.
Going forward, Akshay noted how financial ambition can be never-ending. “Once you have Rs 100 crore, the goal becomes Rs 1000 crore, then Rs 2000 crore, it never really stops,” he said.
Akshay Kumar's net worth
But Akshay Kumar is more than just a successful actor. Beyond the curtains of the silver screen, he has quietly built an impressive business empire. Over the years, he has invested in multiple sectors including real estate, wellness brands, fitness startups, and even co-owns production houses.
In 2025, Forbes estimated Akshay Kumar’s net worth at Rs 2,700 crore. A large portion of this comes from his acting career, brand endorsements, and investments. According to The Indian Express, he commands Rs 60 crore to Rs 145 crore per film, making him one of the highest-paid actors in India.
His luxurious lifestyle also shows the wealth he has built. Akshay owns an Rs 80 crore duplex in Juhu, several properties in Canada, including a hill in Toronto, and vacation homes in Mauritius and Goa. He also has an eye for luxury vehicles, owning models like the Rolls-Royce Phantom, Mercedes-Benz GLS, Range Rover Vogue, and Porsche Cayenne.
