Kapil Sharma is widely regarded as India’s most popular comedian, but he is not the richest. That title belongs to veteran Telugu actor Brahmanandam, famously known as the 'King of Comedy' in Tollywood.

With a career spanning over a thousand films—a world record—Brahmanandam has built an impressive fortune. According to reports from DNA and MoneyControl, his estimated net worth stands at a staggering $60 million (over ₹500 crore). This makes him wealthier than several Bollywood superstars, including Ranbir Kapoor (₹350 crore), Prabhas (₹300 crore), and even the legendary Rajinikanth (₹400 crore).

His financial success comes from decades of dominating Telugu cinema as a beloved comic actor, with his impeccable timing and unmatched versatility.

While Kapil Sharma enjoys massive fame and success through television and Bollywood, Brahmanandam remains the undisputed wealthiest comedian in the country. His journey from a small-town lecturer to one of the richest actors in Indian cinema is nothing short of inspiring.
