Bollywood’s most unsuccessful actor, never became a star, gave 0 hits, still has net worth of Rs 2146 crore, he is…, his last film was…

In the world of glitz and glamour, as easy as it is for someone to earn name and fame, it is equally fast to lose all of that. There have been times when an actor started their journey in the industry, did only three to four films, and then vanished. However, have you ever heard of an actor who did only three films—one of which was a hit—and then decided to quit the industry? Despite quitting acting, this actor has a reported net worth of Rs 2,164 crore! Yes, you read that right! Scroll down to read his name.

During the 2010–2015 era, when actors like Ranveer Singh and Sonakshi Sinha made their debut, another face who also joined the race was Ramaiya Vastavaiya star Girish Kumar. For his first film Ramaiya Vastavaiya, Girish shared the screen space with legendary actor Kamal Haasan’s daughter, Shruti Haasan. And Girish Kumar is the actor we have been talking about, who, despite doing just three films, today owns assets worth Rs 2,164 crore.

How Is Girish Kumar’s Net Worth So High?

Girish debuted with the 2013 film Ramaiya Vastavaiya. Made for Rs 38 crore, the movie managed to mint Rs 38.34 crore worldwide, which is roughly the same as the budget. This led the film to be considered a flop. However, though the movie didn’t do well, Girish grabbed netizens’ attention for his role as Ram. He even earned nominations for Best Debut.

His second film, Loveshhuda (2016), failed to replicate the success of his debut. After the film received a lukewarm response both critically and commercially, Girish gradually stepped away from the film industry and never returned to the screen.

Girish, who is the son of famous producer Kumar S. Taurani and nephew of Ramesh S. Taurani, decided to join his father’s business—Tips Industries. He now serves as Chief Operating Officer (COO), which has contributed to his net worth significantly.

From Stardom to Strategy

According to a media report, Tips Industries’ market capitalisation stood at Rs 8,533.4 crore in June 2025. And Girish’s personal net worth has been reported as Rs 2,164 crore, which is apparently more than many leading Bollywood stars, including Aamir Khan and Ranbir Kapoor.
