Katrina Kaif’s net worth is estimated at ₹224–263 crore (around $27–32 million) as of 2026, according to a range of Indian press estimates published in September and October 2026. The British Bollywood star built the fortune over two decades of film fees, long-running brand endorsements and her cosmetics brand Kay Beauty. Last updated: November 2026.

Who is Katrina Kaif?

Katrina Kaif is a British actress and one of Bollywood’s most bankable stars. Born Katrina Rosemary Turcotte in Hong Kong on 16 July 1983, she moved from modelling in London to Hindi cinema, breaking through with Namastey London (2007) and going on to star in Ek Tha Tiger (2012), Tiger Zinda Hai (2017) and Merry Christmas (2024). She married actor Vicky Kaushal in December 2021, and their son Vihaan was born in November 2025. Read her full story in Katrina Kaif’s biography.

How the money breaks down

  • Film fees: the foundation of the fortune. Kaif is reported to charge around ₹10–12 crore per film, with higher reported fees of ₹15 crore for Merry Christmas (2024) and ₹15–21 crore for Tiger 3 (2023) and other franchise films. These figures are reported by the Indian press and have never been confirmed by Kaif or her producers.
  • Endorsements: a steady income stream across her whole career. Early deals included Coca-Cola, LG, Fevicol and Samsung, and later associations include L’Oréal and Reebok. No verified per-deal endorsement fee has ever been published, so no figure is added here.
  • Kay Beauty: her biggest business asset. The cosmetics brand, co-founded with Nykaa and launched in October 2019, reported gross merchandise value of ₹240 crore in FY25 and ₹350 crore in FY26, a rise of 46%, with an annualised net sales run rate of ₹300 crore in the first quarter of FY27, according to ET Retail. The brand entered the UK in September 2025 through Space NK. Kaif’s reported ownership stake is around 41–42%, with Nykaa holding 51%.
  • Investments: Kaif has been reported as an early investor in Nykaa and in the wellness brand HyugaLife, though the size of those holdings is not publicly disclosed.
  • Real estate: no verified property values are included in this estimate. Single-source press claims about the value of her Mumbai and London homes could not be corroborated, so they are left out.

Career earnings timeline

  • 2003–2005: modelling and early films, including Boom (2003), Malliswari (2004) and her first Hindi hit, Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya? (2005).
  • 2007–2012: stardom arrives with Namastey London (2007), Singh Is Kinng (2008), New York (2009) and Ek Tha Tiger (2012), the start of the YRF spy franchise.
  • 2013–2019: peak commercial years — Dhoom 3 (2013), Tiger Zinda Hai (2017) and Bharat (2019) — alongside long-running endorsement deals.
  • 2019: co-founds Kay Beauty with Nykaa, adding a business income stream to film and endorsement earnings.
  • 2021–2024: Sooryavanshi (2021), Tiger 3 (2023) and Merry Christmas (2024), her latest film; Kay Beauty grows to ₹350 crore in annual sales by FY26.
  • 2025–2026: appointed Global Brand Ambassador for the Maldives (June 2025); Kay Beauty launches in the UK (September 2025). No new film signed as of November 2026, with her focus on family after the birth of her son.

How we estimated this

There is no Forbes, Bloomberg or Hurun net-worth figure for Katrina Kaif, and no audited statement of her wealth exists — so this page publishes a range, not a single number. The headline range of ₹224–263 crore (around $27–32 million) is the consensus of recent Indian press estimates: the Times of India (21 September 2026), the Economic Times (22 September 2026), The Daily Jagran (10 October 2026) and Filmibeat (July 2026) all report the same ₹224–263 crore band, while Outlook Luxe puts the figure at around ₹263 crore.

One widely quoted figure is deliberately not used as the headline: Celebrity Net Worth lists Kaif at $60 million, but that page was last updated in August 2024 and sits at roughly double the Indian-press consensus, so it is treated here as an outlier. Press reports of a combined ₹265 crore fortune for Kaif and her husband Vicky Kaushal are also not used — that is the couple’s total, not hers alone. Per-film fees are labelled reported-only, and Kay Beauty’s ₹350 crore figure is its annual sales, not a company valuation.
