The vast majority of Vivek Oberoi’s reported ₹1200 crore net wealth does not come from the film industry.
Actor Vivek Oberoi made headlines last week when he purchased a brand-new, luxurious Rolls Royce Cullinan. It is one of the most expensive cars in the world, with a price tag of about ₹12 crore. Although most Rolls-Royce owners are among the top stars of their time, Vivek is not the first person in Bollywood to purchase one. In contrast, Vivek’s cinematic career has not been as prosperous.
Many questioned how Vivek could afford the car as a result. They most likely were unaware that the actor had meticulously constructed a commercial empire over the past 20 years that would make most Indian businesspeople envious.
How ‘derailed’ career was fought by Vivek Oberoi
The next great thing is how Vivek Oberoi was characterized when he first entered Bollywood in 2002 with Company. Following hits like Saathiya, Masti, and Omkaara, it was largely expected that this young talent would become the dominant force in Bollywood. Then, however, his personal life began to influence his work. That legendary argument with Salman Khan was the result of his romance with Aishwarya Rai. Vivek’s movies eventually lost their appeal at the box office. The new movies he received weren’t as good.
Rumor had it that he had been “boycotted” from the business for opposing a famous person. However, Vivek kept on working, making appearances in web series like Inside Edge and Telugu and Malayalam movies like Lucifer and Rakta Charithra.
Nevertheless, many believed that Vivek’s career had not fully recovered from his “derailment” two decades prior, even with his second appearance on OTT. The actor isn’t troubled by it.
Vivek Oberoi’s staggering net worth of ₹1200 crore
Despite all of this, many people might be shocked to hear that Vivek Oberoi is one of the wealthiest actors in India. But according to a number of newspapers, including The Statesman, his net worth is ₹1200 crore. He would then rank in the top 15 or even the top 10 wealthiest actors in the nation. His fortune actually surpasses that of more “successful” peers like Rajinikanth (₹400 crore), Prabhas (₹250 crore), Allu Arjun (₹340 crore), and Ranbir Kapoor (₹350 crore).
How Vivek Oberoi established his business
The actor has been transparent about achieving financial autonomy outside of the film industry. For this reason, he started making commercial investments as soon as he started acting.
His wealth is mostly derived from two businesses: Mega Entertainment, an event management firm, and Karma Infrastructure, a real estate firm. In addition, Vivek co-founded Svarnim University and is the founder of Aqua Arc, a 2,300-crore project on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah. He also invests as an angel in a number of firms. Together, these factors have enabled Vivek to amass an enormous wealth portfolio.
The actor agrees that his business has helped him continue acting. In a recent interview with PTI, he said, “Acting is my passion, and business is the enabler. It has got me to a point where I can pursue my passion purely. There’s no compulsion to do something that I’m not enjoying, bow to a lobby, or do any of that. It has given me that freedom. That’s why I keep telling people to build their economic independence, to build themselves to a position that allows them to achieve their dreams and their children’s dreams. Money can buy you your freedom; it can create a sense of peace and security.”
