Alakh Pandey Now Richer Than Shah Rukh Khan – ₹14,510 Crore vs ₹12,490 Crore.
Blockbuster performance 👍👌
Rewind to 2014 : A 23 year old Alakh Pandey from Prayagraj was teaching Physics to 10–15 students in a tiny rented room for ₹50 per hour, sleeping on the floor, eating one meal a day & borrowing ₹5,000 from his mother to buy a second hand phone for recording videos ; rejected by every big coaching institute, he started “Physics Wallah” on YouTube in 2016 with zero budget, just a ₹300 tripod, a ₹200 mic & pure passion to make JEE/NEET concepts crystal clear in Hindi for kids who couldn’t afford ₹2-lakh courses.
Fast Forward 9 years : His channel crossed 15 million subscribers, his app serves 4 million paid students at ₹3,500/year, he turned down ₹1,000 crore buyout offers to stay independent, raised funding at $2.8 billion valuation & now the Hurun India Rich List 2025 declares his personal wealth at a staggering ₹14,510 crore after a 223% jump officially overtaking Bollywood Baadshah Shah Rukh Khan’s ₹12,490 crore empire built over three decades of blockbusters & IPL ownership.
Yet Alakh still wears simple shirts, drives a Creta, lives in a modest Noida flat, donates crores to village schools, & personally replies to students’ doubts at midnight proving that when a middle class teacher decides to change millions of lives instead of chasing millions of rupees, the universe ends up giving him both.
