Three of the most successful women in Bollywood and the wealth they own

Women across the globe have been doing wonders, and hence today’s world is not a man’s world anymore. Known for excelling in every field, women play a vital role by being the most responsible member of the family too. In the past, Bollywood Cinema was all about the heroes where women barely got a chance to perform. But with time, this whole scenario got changed.

Nowadays, women-oriented movies are equally preferred by the audience as they have accepted the fact that along with the man, a woman can also carry a film solely on her shoulders.

Here are the three most prominent and strongest women of the entertainment industry who have not only entertained us for years but also are the successful, influential and powerful in their own respect:

• Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

With her beauty, elegance, and uniqueness she has been an inspiration to many who wanted to thrive high in the film industry. The queen of B-town had won several awards and recognitions for her challenging roles and unique choice of films despite all odds. Her performances in Padmavat and Mastani had shunned up everyone converting her from reel world to real-world queen.

Talking about endorsements and Bollywood, she is among the best-paid actress in the industry. At the outset, she never endorsed a brand to earn money as she believed it as an ‘emotional investment’.

Many a times she refused to endorse big brands that do not suit her values. Today, along with being a multitalented performer, she is also a role model and a woman of courage for many whom she helped to fight depression.

She charges a massive amount of INR 8 crores from brand endorsements and around INR 12-16 crores per movie, which sums most of her earnings. As per reports, in the last three years, her net worth has increased to about 40% taking her total wealth to an approximate of INR 118 crores.
