Not Rajini Nor Prabhas! Discover South India`s Richest Actor with a Staggering Rs 3,050-Crore Fortune

The days when the four southern film industries were seen as the underdogs compared to Bollywood are long gone. Today, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada films are not only competing with but often outshining Hindi cinema. This success is evident in the rising status and wealth of their stars. As a result, the richest actor from South India now surpasses even Salman Khan in terms of net worth.

Telugu superstar Nagarjuna Akkineni, known simply as Nagarjuna, is the richest actor from the four south industries. As per reports, his net worth is $364 million (Rs 3050 crore), making him one of the wealthiest in all India

Nagarjuna charges over Rs 25 crore per film and several crores for his role as host of Bigg Boss Telugu. In addition, he also is a film producer and owns a studio. He also heads the N3 Realty Enterprises, a real estate and construction firm. As per reports, the value of all real estate owned by Nagarjuna is around Rs 800 crore

Nagarjuna is far from the most successful actor of his generation. That honour goes to Chiranjeevi, Rajinikanth, and Kamal Haasan. But their respective net worth of Rs 1650 crore, Rs 500 crore, and Rs 450 crore are way below Nagarjuna’s. Even the reigning Telugu superstar Prabhas is way behind him with a reported net worth of Rs 300 crore

In a career that began in the 80s, Nagarjuna has appeared in several iconic films in both Telugu and Hindi, such as Siva, Khuda Gawah, Killer, Hello Brother, Mass, Don, and Manam. Many of his films such as Mass and Manam were among the highest-grossing Telugu films at the time of their release

Nagarjuna has built his fortune not just from the films he has acted in but from investments in other businesses, including real estate, cinema, and sports franchises, allowing him to tower over his contemporaries

Nagarjuna owns some very luxurious and expensive things. These include a private jet, a palatial bungalow in Hyderabad reportedly worth Rs 40 crore, over half a dozen luxury cars
