Amitabh Bachchan, the iconic actor who needs no introduction, has garnered worldwide acclaim for his extraordinary success in the film industry, spanning over five decades. Often regarded as one of the most popular and highly respected actors globally, the "Shahenshah of Bollywood" is set to celebrate his 81st birthday on October 11.
Surprisingly, during his early struggling days, Amitabh Bachchan contemplated quitting Bollywood. However, his ascent in the Hindi film industry since his debut in the 1969 film 'Saath Hindustan' has been nothing short of phenomenal, making him one of the wealthiest actors in the Indian film fraternity.
Amitabh Bachchan's financial prowess is truly awe-inspiring. As per a Lifestyle Asia report, the legendary actor boasts a staggering net worth of Rs 3,190 crore, with an estimated annual income of around Rs 60 crore, according to Times of India. A significant portion of his income is derived from his film projects and brand endorsements.

He serves as the face of several prominent brands in India, reportedly charging between Rs 5 and 8 crore for each advertisement. His endorsement portfolio includes brands such as Nestle, Dabur, Emami, Pepsi, Cadbury, and many others, significantly augmenting his already impressive net worth.
Bachchan's opulent lifestyle is reflected in his lavish assets. His residence, Jalsa, located in Juhu, Mumbai, is estimated to be worth nearly Rs 112 crore. In addition to Jalsa, he owns other luxurious properties like Prateeksha, Janak, and Vatsa. However, his affluence doesn't end there.
