Arjun Rampal Net Worth $15 Million

Born in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India, Rampal came from a family of Punjabi Hindus, of Sikh and Dutch decent. He grew up in a single parent home with his mother, and attended St. Patrick School where his mother also taught. He later attended Kodaikanal International School, and then in 1993 graduated with a degree in economics with honours from Delhi University.

Rampal’s career started as a model during the early ‘90s. While at a party, fashion designer RohitBal saw him and took him as one of his models. Bal helped him become a supermodel that later earned him Society’s Face of the Year in 1994.In the early 2000’s, Rampal also started to appear in music videos, one of which is “Don’t Marry”.His early years as a model started his career in Bollywood and also helped his net worth.

In 2001, Rampal made his way to movies and debuted in “PyaarIshqAurMohabbat”. Unfortunately, the movie was a flop but his performance still received positive reviews from critics. He was even nominated for the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut for his performance in the film. Although Rampal’s following movies also suffered at the box office, including “Deewaanapan”, DilKaRishta”, and “Vaada”, critics still recognized his talent, and eventually in 2006, his film “Don” became his saving grace and received positive reviews from critics and became a hit at the box office. After the success of “Don”, Rampal’s career immediately took off, and more successful movies followed. His films including “Om Shanti Om”, “Inkaar”, “Rock On!!”, and “Ra, One” also thrived at the box office, making him one of the most successful actors in Bollywood, which of course also tremendously increased his wealth.

In 2006, Rampal started his own production company Chasing Ganesha Films with his wife. One of the first films of his production company was “I See You” in which he also starred.

Other than being a movie star, Rampal has also made television appearances, and served as a judge in the dance reality show “NachBaliye”. He also went into a couple of world tours with other renowned Bollywood icons, and joined the “Heartthrobs: Live in Concert” in 2002 and also “Temptations” (2004) and “Temptations Reloaded” (2008). His various projects outside the movies also helped in raising his net worth.

Today, Rampal is still active as an actor. He recently starred in the film “Rock On!! 2” and is set to also appear in the movie “Daddy”. He is also the owner of the luxury nightclub – Lap – in New Delhi.
