He earns over 30 million dollars a year through endorsements, over 202 thousands dollars to grace an event, another 202 thousands dollars per TV episode, more than 3 million dollars per film and has now launched a 2.2 billion dollars real estate project in the UAE. Actor Shah Rukh Khan, who turns 43 on this November 2nd, is much more than a Bollywood superstar. King Khan, as he is fondly called, wears the diadem of the actor with the biggest pocket in tinsel town - rumoured to be around Rs 16 billion with his maximum earnings coming from commercial endorsements. Shah Rukh, the actor-turned-businessman, who earns more than Rs.300 per minute as per experts, has successfully diversified into newer avenues with the same charismatic appeal with which he rules Bollywood, just as his fan following has spread over the rest of Asia-Pacific and into Europe, North America and Africa
Shah Rukh has also been kept busy with his ongoing world tour - 'Temptations Reloaded'. The actor is one among the few to have a huge fan following in Bollywood. Even his colleagues can't stop raving about him. Actress Eesha Koppikhar was all praise for the actor having achieved superstardom without having any godfather. Although Shah Rukh was not seen on the big screen for most of 2008, he kept hogging the headlines, the latest for getting the Malaysian honour 'Datuk'. His forthcoming releases are 'Billo Barber', 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi', 'My Name is Khan', 'Dulha Mil Gaya', a sequel to 'Don - The Chase Begins Again' and a voiceover in animation film 'Koochie Koochie Hota Hain'.
