Once the first salary was Rs 500, today he is the richest star of TV, his net worth will blow your mind.

Actually, the most expensive star of TV is none other than comedian Kapil Sharma. Who have made their mark on the basis of their hard work and ability.

Kapil Sharma was born in Amritsar. He also worked as a telephone booth operator in his early years and his first salary was Rs 500.

Kapil Sharma’s luck brightened in 2007. He won the third season of the reality stand-up comedy show The Great Indian Laughter Challenge and after that he never looked back.

Kapil Sharma won Comedy Circus for six consecutive seasons from 2010 to 2013. He then launched his own show called Comedy Nights with Kapil which he also co-produced under his banner K9 Productions. This show was telecast on Colors TV from 2013 to 2016.

After his first show was cancelled, Kapil switched to Sony TV and started The Kapil Sharma Show, which ran from 2016 to 2023. In this show also, Kapil Sharma made people laugh with his comedy.

In 2024, the comedian turned to OTT and started The Great Indian Kapil Show on Netflix. Its first season ran for 13 seasons and then Kapil and his team took a short break and now once again Kapil Sharma is hosting the second season on the streaming platform.

According to media reports, Kapil charges a fee of Rs 5 crore for hosting each episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show.

Kapil, who once earned Rs 500 as his first salary, lives a king-sized life today.

Kapil Sharma’s total net worth is said to be Rs 300 crore. And with this he has become India’s richest TV star.

Apart from hosting his comedy shows, Kapil Sharma has also tried his luck in films. But except Kapil’s debut film ‘Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon’, all his Bollywood films have flopped badly.
