From Rs 90 cr debt, bankruptcy to Rs 4000 cr net worth: How Amitabh Bachchan rebuilt his fortune

Amitabh Bachchan, the biggest star in Indian cinema, has seen his fortune fluctuate significantly throughout his career. Once worth just Rs 90 crore, Bachchan declared bankruptcy in 1999 due to a massive debt of Rs 90 crore and an overwhelming 55 legal cases. Facing personal guarantees, hostile creditors, and even the seizure of his house, the actor had to restart his life from scratch.

However, after turning to corporate ventures in the 1990s, Bachchan's company, Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Limited (ABCL), eventually led to a remarkable turnaround. With the support of his son Abhishek, who helped him financially during a difficult period studying in the US, Bachchan returned to acting in 2000 with the film Mohabbatein, which marked a new beginning for his career and marked the beginning of his current net worth of Rs 4,000 crore.
