But how did a Delhi boy with dreams of making it big in Mumbai become one of India’s richest individuals? Let’s dive into the ventures that propelled King Khan into the billionaires' club. <h3 style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:4pt;"><keyword id="20033371" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Red-Chillies-Entertainment" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Red Chillies Entertainment" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Red Chillies Entertainment">Red Chillies Entertainment</keyword></h3>Shah Rukh Khan’s production company, Red Chillies Entertainment, has been a significant contributor to his wealth. Founded in 2002, Red Chillies has become a key player in Bollywood, producing blockbuster films and investing in high-quality visual effects. From chart-topping films like Chennai Express and Raees to the massive success of Pathaan in 2023, Red Chillies has consistently delivered box office hits. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="112412196" title="&amp;#39;Deadpool &amp;amp; Wolverine&amp;#39; screenwriters reveal secrets and spoilers, including the movie&amp;#39;s original villain and who wrote that Hugh Jackman divorce joke" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>With an estimated revenue consistently in the hundreds of crores and a profit of Rs 85 crores last year, the company has not only cemented SRK’s position as a top actor but also as a successful producer.

Co-owned by SRK, Juhi Chawla, and Jay Mehta, KKR has become one of the most successful and profitable franchises not just in the Indian Premier League, but also in the sporting world. The team’s consistent performance on the field has been matched by its financial success off it, with KKR’s brand value rising steadily over the years. As per Forbes, the cricket team was valued at over $1 billion in 2022. This surge in valuation played a crucial role in boosting SRK’s wealth, contributing significantly to his fortune. The success of KKR, coupled with its passionate fan base and strong marketing, has made it a jewel in SRK’s business portfolio, further solidifying his status as a businessman. <h3 style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:4pt;">Brand SRK: The most followed Indian on social media</h3>More than just a business mogul, Shah Rukh Khan is also a brand unto himself.

Shah Rukh Khan’s <keyword id="22962036" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="real-estate-ventures" source="keywords">real estate ventures</keyword> extend far beyond his iconic Mumbai residence, Mannat. One of his lesser-known yet highly lucrative ventures is in Dubai, where he and his wife Gauri Khan launched a luxurious beachfront residential project, the "SRK Boulevard," located in the posh Dana Islands. This mega project, worth over Rs 18,000 crore, features 10 residential buildings with high-end facilities, including marine sports and leisure amenities. Designed by Los Angeles architect Tony Ashai, with interiors by Gauri Khan, this project highlights SRK’s foray into international real estate <h3>And of course, films</h3>Shah Rukh Khan’s earnings from films and endorsements are a significant part of his wealth. Known as one of the highest-paid actors in India, SRK reportedly charges over Rs 100 crores per film. This is certainly no small amount, but it is unlikely that filmmakers will find fault with it, considering how his films regularly break box office records. As per IMdB, both 2023 films Jawan and Pathaan grossed over Rs 1000 crores worldwide. All in all, King Khan’s entry into the Hurun India Rich List is significant not just for him, but for the entire entertainment industry. SRK’s success reflects the growing financial clout of Indian film stars and the increasing importance of entertainment in wealth creation. In 2024 alone, Hurun India Rich Listers from the entertainment industry added Rs 40,500 crores to their wealth, with SRK leading the charge. This trend highlights the expanding influence of Bollywood and the entertainment sector in India’s broader economic landscape.

Charan, who has over three million followers on Twitter, joins a long list of celebrities like Shah Rukh Khan, Virat Kohli, Deepika Padukone and Rahul Gandhi to lose the coveted ‘Blue tick’ on their Twitter accounts. Many celebrities have refused to pay a fee that Musk had imposed to verify the accounts of celebrities. Blue ticks can differentiate the actual accounts of celebrities from the many fan-made and fake accounts made in their name. Rajamouli, Rana retain their blue ticks The other Naatu Naatu star, Jr NTR, or Tarak, the director of RRR, SS Rajamouli – with over six million followers each – still have their blue ticks indicating that they might have paid Musk’s fee. The star of Bahubali, Rana Daggubati, has a blue tick, and Prabhas is not on Twitter. The others who did not bother are — KGF fame Yash and Pusha actor Allu Arjun have also lost their blue ticks along with South heavyweight Rajnikanth. Even superstar Chiranjeevi, Charan's father and Arjun's uncle, who joined Twitter during the pandemic, lost his blue tick status. So did his Tamil counterpart Kamal Hassan who came back with a bang to silver screens with the recent superhit Vikram late last year. South heroines like Samantha Ruth Prabhu, with over 10 million followers, and Nayantara, with over 20,000 followers too lost their blue ticks. Many top cricketers like M S Dhoni and Rohit Sharma also did not bother to pay the price to retain their ticks, and neither did Twitteractive pulp fiction writer, Chetan Bhagat. There are only three exceptions Many international celebrities lost their blue ticks, including the Pope, celebrity TV host Oprah Winfrey, and singer Beyonce. Rihanna and Taylor Swift still have blue ticks, but their payment status is not verified. actress Halle Berry, however, tweeted, "Me joining you all tomorrow unverified," indicating she will not pay for the Blue badge. Jack Dorsey, the co-founder of Twitter, also lost his blue tick. But looks like even Musk defers to the celebrity might of a few titans, including the King of Horror, Stephen King. Incidentally, King has been criticizing the verification payment and insisted that “It’s a matter of principle.” The other two celebrities that Musk is personally paying for are Captain Kirk of Star Trek, William Statner and basketball legend, LeBron James.

Cybercriminals are profiting from X "Gold" verification badge by selling compromised accounts for phishing and scams on the dark web marketplaces and forums, a new report revealed on Thursday. According to the cybersecurity firm <keyword id="20065627" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="cloudsek" source="keywords">CloudSEK</keyword>, these accounts pose a huge risk for organisations and individuals alike, as they can be used to spread disinformation, launch phishing attacks, and steal sensitive information. X Gold is a paid feature introduced by the Elon Musk-run microblogging platform, which grants accounts a gold badge alongside the blue and grey tick, signifying legitimacy and brand recognition. However, the ease of obtaining <keyword id="20065624" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="twitter-gold" source="keywords">Twitter Gold</keyword> has attracted malicious actors who are purchasing and compromising accounts to further their nefarious activities, the report noted. The researchers found that dark web marketplaces are flooded with advertisements selling X Gold accounts, with prices ranging from $35 for a basic account to $2,000 for accounts with large followings. "The advertisements on the dark web can be traced back to multiple online shops and their marketing partners, such as Facebook, <keyword id="19897633" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="telegram" source="keywords">Telegram</keyword>, etc. Some X account providers have hosted their shops successfully for over four years and used the same medium to advertise Twitter Gold accounts," said <keyword id="20065625" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="rishika-desai" source="keywords">Rishika Desai</keyword>, <keyword id="20065626" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="cyber-threat-researcher" source="keywords">Cyber Threat Researcher</keyword> at CloudSEK. "The amount of shops and service providers today is humongous, and most of them can be detected by running simple Google Dorks," she added. According to the report, hackers can use Twitter Gold accounts to send seemingly legitimate tweets containing malicious links that steal personal information, such as login credentials and credit card numbers. They can also spread false information and propaganda through Twitter Gold accounts, potentially impacting public opinion and causing reputational damage. In addition, hackers can use these accounts to promote fake investment opportunities, cryptocurrency scams, and other financial frauds, the report said. Researchers recommended to regularly monitor brand mentions on Twitter and implement strong password policies to protect against account compromise. Be wary of tweets from unknown accounts, especially those with the Gold badge. Do not click on suspicious links or engage with accounts that seem too good to be true.

On Sunday, <keyword id="19903807" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Elon-Musk" source="keywords">Elon Musk</keyword> took to social media to express his appreciation for <keyword id="21992682" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ashok-Elluswamy" source="keywords">Ashok Elluswamy</keyword>, highlighting the <keyword id="20307691" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-origin" source="keywords">Indian-origin</keyword> robotics engineer’s pivotal role in <keyword id="19895433" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Tesla" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Tesla" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Tesla">Tesla</keyword>’s “success in AI” and the <keyword id="20344498" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Autopilot" source="keywords">Autopilot</keyword> software. In 2021, Musk had announced Elluswamy as the first hire for Tesla’s Autopilot team. Elluswamy, who hails from India, earned a Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics and Communication from the <keyword id="1604304" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="College-of-Engineering-Guindy" source="Orion">College of Engineering Guindy</keyword> in Chennai. He later moved to the US to pursue a Master of Science in Robotic Systems Development at Carnegie Mellon University. Acknowledging his role in Tesla’s growth, Musk posted on X (formerly Twitter): “Thanks Ashok! Ashok was the first person to join the Tesla AI/Autopilot team and ultimately rose to lead all AI/Autopilot software. Without him and our awesome team, we would just be another car company looking for an autonomy supplier that doesn't exist.” <div type="twitter" handle="elonmusk" handlename="elonmusk" favoritecount="0" retweetcount="0" id="1799650788848841069"></div> Musk’s tweet was a response to Elluswamy’s own note on X, where Elluswamy reflected on Musk's bold vision and relentless perseverance, which proved instrumental in Tesla’s advancements in <keyword id="19899640" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="AI" source="keywords">AI</keyword> for autonomous driving and robotics. Elluswamy shared insights into the early days, where the challenge was to implement Autopilot on severely constrained hardware and the daring decision to develop Tesla’s computer vision capabilities internally within a tight timeframe. Elluswamy further elaborated on how, despite facing scepticism and ridicule from industry experts, Tesla not only succeeded in launching the world’s first Autopilot system, but also committed to an AI-centric approach by moving away from traditional sensors. He emphasised how Musk’s dedication to creating custom AI hardware and pioneering projects like humanoid robots underlines his foresight in pushing the boundaries of real-world AI, ultimately establishing Tesla as a leader in the field. Tesla’s Autopilot is a sophisticated semi-autonomous driving system that leverages cameras, sensors and radar to assist drivers. It automates certain driving tasks such as steering, acceleration and braking within a lane. Key Autopilot features include adaptive cruise control, lane centering and emergency braking. Since 2016, Tesla has been developing its AI and computer vision capabilities in-house to power Autopilot. This involves training deep neural networks on raw camera images for tasks like semantic segmentation, object detection and monocular depth estimation. Tesla’s strategy prioritises vision and AI to achieve autonomy, rather than relying on external sensors or high-definition maps.

One of these allegations is that the Indian government forced Twitter to keep one of its agents on its payroll. According to a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/interactive/2022/twitter-whistleblower-sec-spam/'">report</a> by The Washington Post, Zatko sent a complaint to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) last month. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Indian government forced Twitter to employ an agent" comment="subhead" text="Indian government forced Twitter to employ an agent">Indian government forced Twitter to employ an agent</cmsannotation> One of the allegations by Zatko is that the Indian government forced the social media giant to employ one of its agents on its payroll. The employee was reportedly given access to sensitive user data. The agent was reportedly sent during “a time of intense protests” in India. This is likely a reference to the farmer’s protests in 2021. Zatko has reportedly sent supporting information for this claim to the National Security Division of the DOJ and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. The complaint also states that thousands of employees at the company continue to have “wide-ranging and poorly tracked internal access to core company software.” <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Zatko claims company prioritises user growth over spam reduction" comment="subhead" text="Zatko claims company prioritises user growth over spam reduction">Zatko claims company prioritises user growth over spam reduction</cmsannotation> Zatko has also claimed that the company prioritises user growth over spam reduction. He added the executives could receive bonuses of up to $10 million tied to an increase in daily users.
