Ajay Devgn Net Worth 2026: The $53M Singham Empire

Last updated: November 13, 2026  ·  By Nathan Cole

Ajay Devgn’s net worth is ₹427 crore — about $53 million — in 2026. That is the figure most current reporting prints, and it is the number this profile anchors on, inside a $50 million to $85 million range. Born Vishal Veeru Devgan on April 2, 1969, in New Delhi, the 57-year-old has spent thirty-five years in Hindi cinema — more than 100 films, three National Film Awards, a Padma Shri, and a production company and visual-effects studio that earn money whether or not he is in front of the camera. His latest film, Drishyam 3: The Conclusion, released October 2, 2026, became his highest-grossing film ever within ten days, passing ₹300 crore in India and ₹450 crore worldwide.

If you came for the essentials, you have them: ₹427 crore, $53 million, 57 years old, married to Kajol since 1999, and the owner of Ajay Devgn FFilms and NY VFXWAALA. The rest of this profile goes source by source through every published net-worth figure, explains why some pages print $30 million and others print $580 million, breaks down the film fees, the box office, and the businesses line by line, and measures him against Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Hrithik Roshan.

Most net-worth pages give you one number and move on. This one does the opposite. It names the outlet behind each figure, dates each listing, and shows its working — because a reader who searches “Ajay Devgn net worth” deserves to know which number to trust and which ones to treat with care. Every claim below carries its source and its date.

Ajay Devgn Net Worth: The Short Answer

Ajay Devgn’s estimated net worth in 2026 is ₹427 crore ($53 million). That is the figure most current reporting prints, and it is the number this profile anchors on. In rupees it is ₹427 crore; in dollars, about $53 million at current exchange rates; in the range this profile publishes, $50 million to $85 million (₹427–700 crore).

The second number readers ask for is the age. Ajay Devgn is 57 years old in 2026. He was born Vishal Veeru Devgan on April 2, 1969, in New Delhi, and turned 57 in April 2026. He is 5 ft 9 in tall (175 cm) and weighs 80 kg, per Technosports — a frame that has carried him through 35 years and more than 100 films, from the 1991 debut Phool Aur Kaante to the October 2026 release of Drishyam 3.

The third number is the fee. Devgn charges ₹35 crore to ₹60 crore per film, per the most careful reporting — a figure that moves with the project, rising for the big franchise entries and falling for the smaller films, with profit-sharing on top for the films his own company produces. A full adjudication of the fee range, including why some pages print ₹20 crore and others ₹65 crore, appears in the fee section below.

The Net Worth Listings, Source by Source

Nine published listings carry Ajay Devgn’s net worth, and they spread from $30 million to $580 million. The table below lays them out with their dates, so the disagreement is visible instead of hidden behind a single confident number.

WhoWorth is the most careful of the twelve: it centres its estimate on “current ₹427 crore reporting”, checks it against Forbes India’s 2019 earnings figure of ₹94 crore, and applies a range “for private business values, taxes and liabilities” — the only page in the set that explains its method. Urban Splatter, Technosports, NewsPoint and Tring all land on the same number independently, which is the strongest signal in a field where most pages copy a single source. Five pages, all from 2026, printing ₹427 crore.

The middle of the table fills in the range. NetworthGyaan prints ₹443 crore ($51.3 million) and Naction prints ₹427–700 crore ($50–85 million), which is where this profile’s published range comes from: the anchor at the bottom, the higher business valuations at the top. TechtoFacts at $67 million and Digit at $75 million sit inside that range — both plausible if the production company and VFX studio are valued generously, both unsupported by any valuation a reader can check.

Why the Estimates Disagree by Hundreds of Millions

A twenty-fold spread needs explaining, and the explanation is the private businesses. Ajay Devgn’s fortune is not a salary added up over 35 years — it is a salary plus two companies whose value nobody outside the family can see. Ajay Devgn FFilms, founded in 2000, produces his own films and takes the producer’s share of the profits. NY VFXWAALA, the visual-effects studio named after his children Nysa and Yug, does post-production for major Indian blockbusters. Neither company publishes accounts. A page that counts only the acting fees lands near $30–50 million. A page that adds a generous valuation for the two companies lands near $85 million. A page that adds the gross box office of every film he ever made — as if the actor kept the ticket money — lands near $580 million, which is the error EatHealthy365 makes: its $580 million figure counts the gross of the films, not the actor’s share of them.

The low end has the opposite problem. Filmibeat’s $30 million sits in a profile that also prints his age correctly at 57 but carries no date and no method, and the number looks like a figure from years ago that was never updated — the same stale-text problem that haunts every celebrity net-worth page. TazaNewsZ’s ₹900–1,100 crore, published in February 2026, is the only page in the set that prints a figure above ₹700 crore, and it offers no sourcing for the jump: no new deal, no new company valuation, no box-office event that would double the fortune in a single quarter. It is a headline number, not an estimate.

The honest answer for readers is simple. Treat ₹427 crore ($53 million) as the best single figure, because it is the one five independent 2026 pages agree on. Treat $50 million to $85 million as the honest range, because that is what the published record supports once the business valuations are counted generously. And treat any page that prints one figure with no range and no source as a guess wearing a fact’s clothes — especially when the figure is $580 million.

Drishyam 3: The ₹300 Crore Record That Changed the Math

The freshest money in Ajay Devgn’s fortune arrived on October 2, 2026. Drishyam 3: The Conclusion, directed by Abhishek Pathak and co-starring Tabu and Jaideep Ahlawat, opened on the Gandhi Jayanti holiday and did what no Ajay Devgn film had done before: it crossed ₹300 crore net in India. The opening day alone brought in ₹62 crore net, per Sacnilk — his career-best opening by a wide margin, ahead of Singham Again‘s ₹43.50 crore debut — and the second-biggest Hindi opening of 2026. By day five it had collected ₹216.50 crore net in India and ₹303 crore worldwide. By day ten it stood at ₹308.50 crore net in India and ₹456–480 crore worldwide, with its overseas gross passing $10 million — his first film to do so. Trade expectations put the final run at ₹550–600 crore worldwide and more than ₹400 crore in India.

The record matters for the net worth because Devgn is not only the star of the franchise — he is the producer. Ajay Devgn FFilms produces the Drishyam films, which means the profit share flows to his company, not only the acting fee to him. The first Drishyam (2015) closed at ₹102.75 crore net in India. The second (2022) reached ₹239.67 crore net in India and ₹342–347 crore worldwide. The third passed the second’s entire Indian run in about a week, and passed its worldwide total in ten days. For a 57-year-old actor in his 35th year, the biggest hit of his career arrived in 2026 — and the franchise that made it is one he owns a piece of.

The opening also tells a story about the audience. The first Drishyam opened at ₹5.85 crore; the second at ₹18.15 crore; the third at ₹62 crore. The franchise grew because the character grew: Vijay Salgaonkar, the cable-TV operator who outwits the police, is the role Devgn’s fans now associate with him the way an earlier generation associated him with Bajirao Singham. The two characters — the cop and the man who beats the cops — sit at opposite ends of his filmography, and both pay.

The Box Office, Film by Film

Fourteen of Ajay Devgn’s films have crossed ₹100 crore, per Technosports, and the table below is the top of that list — the films that built the fortune, with the worldwide grosses the trade press reports.

The pattern in the table is the pattern of the career: the biggest numbers come late. Five of the eight films above were released after 2022, when Devgn was already past 50. The industry calls this the second wind, and the numbers back it up — Raid 2 in 2025, Shaitaan and Singham Again in 2024, Dhamaal 4 and Drishyam 3 in 2026. The actor who debuted in 1991 is having his best box-office years in his late fifties, and the reason is visible in the table: the franchises. Singham, Drishyam, Golmaal, Raid — each one a series the audience returns to, each one a brand that sells tickets before the trailer plays.

One caution belongs with the table. Gross box office is not the actor’s income. The distributor, the exhibitor, the producer and the taxman all take their share before the star is paid, and the star’s share depends on the deal — a flat fee, a fee plus profit share, or a co-production stake. That is why the $580 million figure in the listings table is wrong: it treats the gross as the fortune. The honest reading of the table is different: it shows the scale of the machine Devgn sits at the centre of, and the machine is what makes the ₹35–60 crore fee possible.

Singham and the Cop Who Pays the Bills

If Drishyam is the franchise Devgn owns, Singham is the franchise that made him a mass hero. Bajirao Singham, the honest Maratha police officer played with a roar and a raised hand, arrived in 2011, returned in Singham Returns (2014), and came back a third time in Singham Again (2024), which collected ₹247.86 crore net in India — his second-biggest opening run before Drishyam 3 passed it. The character has become a shorthand for the actor himself: the khaki uniform, the jeep, the line delivered straight to camera.

The franchise also built the cop universe that now connects half of Bollywood’s action stars. Rohit Shetty’s films link Singham to Simmba — played by Ranveer Singh, whose net worth profile traces the same cop-universe economics — and to Sooryavanshi, played by Akshay Kumar. Singham Again added Deepika Padukone as Shakti Shetty, the franchise’s first leading female cop, and the film’s cast reads like a roll call of the industry’s biggest names. The economics of that universe are the economics of the shared brand: each film sells the next one, and Devgn, as the original, collects on every entry.

Golmaal 5, announced for the coming slate, is the other franchise on the boil — and the casting news around it shows the scale Devgn now operates at. NewsPoint reported in May 2026 that Akshay Kumar will play the villain in Golmaal 5, a head-to-head between two of the industry’s biggest stars that the same report framed as a net-worth contest: Devgn at ₹427 crore against Kumar at ₹2,700 crore. The gap is real, and it is dealt with in the peer comparison below — but the casting itself is the point. Devgn’s films now trade on the meeting of giants, and the fee follows the billing.

What He Charges Per Film

The per-film fee is the number every net-worth page quotes and almost none of them sources. The table below lays out the reported figures with their outlets, so the spread is visible.

The honest reading is the range, not any single figure: ₹35–60 crore per film for the big projects, less for the smaller ones, with profit-sharing on top where his own company produces. Naction’s range is the most careful — it notes that he “occasionally charges over ₹100 crore for high-budget projects with profit-sharing”, which is the key detail the flat-fee pages miss. The fee is not the income. The income is the fee plus the producer’s share, and the producer’s share is where Drishyam 3‘s ₹450 crore worldwide gross turns into personal wealth.

For scale, Forbes India reported his 2019 earnings at ₹94 crore from films and endorsements — a single year, seven years ago, equal to about a fifth of the current net-worth anchor. TechtoFacts, a single source, puts his current monthly income at ₹8.5 crore and annual income at ₹95 crore — a figure recorded here as that outlet’s claim, not as a verified fact. The annual run-rate matters more than any single fee: at ₹35–60 crore per film and two or three films a year, the acting income alone runs to ₹70–180 crore a year before endorsements and business income.

Devgn Films and NY VFXWAALA: The Business Behind the Star

The businesses are the part of the fortune that separates Ajay Devgn from the actors who only act. Ajay Devgn FFilms — the double “f” is deliberate — was founded in 2000 and has produced his films ever since, from the early 2000s through the Drishyam franchise and Tanhaji. The company is one of Bollywood’s most prolific production houses, and its value is the producer’s share of every film it makes: not the actor’s fee, but the profit after the fee. No public valuation exists, which is why the net-worth range runs to $85 million at the top — the companies are worth something, and nobody outside the family knows what.

NY VFXWAALA is the quieter of the two, and possibly the more valuable. Named after his children, Nysa and Yug, it is a visual-effects studio that handles post-production for major Indian blockbusters — the kind of company that earns on other people’s films as well as his own. The VFX business is a service business: it bills by the shot, it works year-round, and it does not depend on whether Devgn’s next film opens well. That steadiness is worth more, in net-worth terms, than a single hit film — it is income that arrives whether or not he is on set.

Endorsements are the third line. Tring’s 2026 brand list counts five brands Devgn endorses in 2026, and the endorsement income sits behind the film income in every estimate — real, but smaller than the acting and the businesses. The exact brand roster changes year to year, and this profile does not print a list it cannot verify line by line. What the reporting does support is the shape of the fortune: acting fees first, production and VFX second, endorsements third, and property — the ₹60 crore Mumbai bungalow and the ₹54 crore London home — as the visible assets on top.

The Director’s Chair: U Me Aur Hum to Bholaa

Devgn has directed four films, and the directing career is the other half of the producer story. U Me Aur Hum (2008), a romance in which he also starred opposite Kajol, was the debut. Shivaay (2016), a mountain action film shot in Bulgaria, was the ambitious second — a visual-effects showcase that also served as a calling card for NY VFXWAALA. Runway 34 (2022), an aviation thriller, was the third. Bholaa (2023), a remake of the Tamil hit Kaithi, was the fourth.

None of the four was a runaway hit, and that is worth saying plainly: the directing career has not matched the acting career at the box office. But the directing matters for the fortune in a different way. A director who owns the production company keeps the director’s fee, the actor’s fee, and the producer’s share — three cheques for one film — and the VFX studio bills the production for its own work. The structure is the point, not the reviews. Devgn’s career is built to capture value at every stage of a film’s life, and the directing chair is one more stage he owns.

The OTT work follows the same logic. Rudra: The Edge of Darkness, his streaming debut on Disney+ Hotstar in 2022, paid a streaming fee on top of the film fees — and it put him in front of the audience that now watches as much on phones as in cinemas. The streaming market is the next line of the fortune, and the 2026 slate — Golmaal 5, Happy Birthday Joshi, and whatever follows Drishyam 3 — will decide how much of it he captures.

How He Stacks Up: SRK, Salman, Akshay and Hrithik

A net worth only means something in comparison, and Bollywood gives a useful yardstick: the four men Devgn has shared screens and box-office charts with for thirty years. The table below uses the figures Guide Net Worth’s own profiles settle on for each star, so the comparison is apples to apples — each number went through the same source-by-source process as this one.

The gap is real, and it has a plain explanation: the four men above him built fortunes on a different scale of business. Shah Rukh Khan’s net worth profile traces a $280 million fortune built on Red Chillies Entertainment and the Kolkata Knight Riders; Salman Khan’s net worth profile covers a $340 million fortune built on Being Human and three decades of Eid releases; Akshay Kumar’s net worth profile follows a $315 million fortune built on four films a year for a decade; and Hrithik Roshan’s net worth profile tracks a $300 million fortune built on the HRX brand. Devgn’s businesses are smaller, his film count is lower, and his endorsement roster is thinner — and the net worth follows.

The comparison also shows what Devgn has that they do not: the lowest profile. He has no IPL team, no clothing line, no reality show, and no social-media empire — and still holds a ₹427 crore fortune built almost entirely on films and two production businesses. Ranveer Singh, at roughly ₹400 crore, is the closest peer in the table, and the two men now share the same cop universe. The gap at the top is a gap in business scale, not in staying power: Devgn has worked steadily for 35 years, and the 2026 box office — the biggest of his life — arrived in his 57th year.

From Phool Aur Kaante to National Awards

Ajay Devgn was born Vishal Veeru Devgan on April 2, 1969, in New Delhi, the son of Veeru Devgan — one of Hindi cinema’s best-known action directors and stunt choreographers — and Veena Devgan. He grew up on film sets, around the stuntmen and fight choreographers his father worked with, and the action background shows in the career: the debut was an action film, and the biggest roles of his life have been men of action — cops, soldiers, freedom fighters, and a cable operator who outwits the police.

The debut, Phool Aur Kaante (1991), is still famous for a single shot: Devgn entering the screen standing in a split across two moving motorcycles. It won him the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut, and the 1990s that followed were a run of action hits — Jigar (1992), Dilwale (1994), Suhaag, Naajayaz, Diljale, Ishq (1997) — that made him a reliable box-office name without ever making him the industry’s biggest star. The acting awards came for the films that broke the pattern: Zakhm (1998), which won him his first National Film Award for Best Actor, and The Legend of Bhagat Singh (2002), which won the second.

The 2000s rebuilt him. Company (2002), Gangaajal (2003), Yuva (2004), Omkara (2006) — a run of serious, director-driven films that proved the range — and then Golmaal (2006), which proved the comedy. The 2010s added the franchises: Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai (2010), Singham (2011), Bol Bachchan (2012), Son of Sardaar (2012), Drishyam (2015), Tanhaji (2020). The Padma Shri came in 2016, the third National Award for Tanhaji in 2020, and the 2020s — Drishyam 2, Raid 2, Drishyam 3 — have been the biggest box-office years of his life.

Houses, Cars and the Visible Fortune

The visible assets are the part of the fortune the reporting can actually see. Urban Splatter’s August 2026 profile lists two homes: a bungalow in Mumbai valued at over ₹60 crore and a home on Park Lane in London valued at ₹54 crore — ₹114 crore of property between them, about a quarter of the ₹427 crore anchor. The Mumbai bungalow is the family home, in Juhu, where Devgn has lived for years; the London house is the overseas base, bought when the children were young.

Cars follow the same pattern as the rest of the fortune: substantial, but quieter than the peers’. The reporting names a Rolls-Royce and a fleet of luxury cars without the itemised garage lists that fill other stars’ profiles, and this profile does not print a car list it cannot verify model by model. What the property figures do prove is the shape of the wealth: a quarter of it sits in two houses, in two cities, and the rest sits in the films, the companies, and the bank. The fortune is not flashy. It is the fortune of a man who has worked for 35 years and kept most of what he earned.

Kajol, Nysa and Yug: Family Life

Ajay Devgn married Kajol on February 24, 1999, in a private ceremony at his Mumbai home — one of the most famous marriages in Hindi cinema, between two of its biggest stars, conducted with almost no publicity. They have two children: Nysa, born April 20, 2003, and Yug, born September 13, 2010. The children’s names are the ones on the VFX studio — NY VFXWAALA, Nysa and Yug — and the studio is, in a literal sense, the family business.

Kajol’s own career runs alongside his: she remains one of the industry’s most loved actors, and the two have co-starred in films from Ishq (1997) and Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha (1998) to U Me Aur Hum (2008), which he directed and she starred in. Nysa, now 23, has become a public figure in her own right, followed by the same cameras that followed her parents; Yug, 16, stays out of the spotlight. The family is the reason the 2026 schedule is crowded but controlled: two or three films a year, the businesses running underneath, and the big franchise entries spaced so that the family calendar survives them.

Ajay Devgn in 2026: Golmaal 5 and What’s Next

The 2026 calendar has already delivered the biggest year of Ajay Devgn’s career, and it is not finished. Dhamaal 4 collected ₹222 crore worldwide earlier in the year; Drishyam 3, released October 2, passed ₹450 crore worldwide in ten days and is heading for ₹550–600 crore. Two films, two hits, and the second is the biggest grosser of a 35-year career. The slate ahead is full: Golmaal 5, with Akshay Kumar reported as the villain; Happy Birthday Joshi, an AI-driven thriller announced in April 2026; and the narration of Shatak: Sangh Ke 100 Varsh, credited in February 2026.

The responsible summary: Ajay Devgn’s net worth is ₹427 crore ($53 million) in 2026, inside a $50 million to $85 million range, built on 35 years of films, ₹35–60 crore per-film fees, the Drishyam and Singham franchises, and two businesses — Ajay Devgn FFilms and NY VFXWAALA — that earn whether or not he is on screen. The birth date is documented, the box office is counted, the fees are sourced, and the net worth is labeled as an estimate with a range — because that is what the record supports. The man who entered on two motorcycles in 1991 is having his biggest year in 2026, and the fortune finally matches the staying power.
