We often discuss the richest or highest-paid actors. But there are also actresses who achieve the same milestone, some even better. In India, when the discussions about the richest actresses happen, names like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Juhi Chawla, or Deepika Padukone pop up. We already know that Juhi is considered the richest actress in the country, as her net worth is Rs 4600 crore.
Richest Actress
But before Juhi Chawla, there was one actress who was considered extremely rich and is the same till now. She has been a main part of the Tamil and Telugu film industries and ruled millions of hearts for decades. She even acted in many Bollywood movies. Her career started at the age of 15 and her pairing with MGR was considered wonderful. She was also in love with MGR, who was the former CM of Tamil Nadu. She never married anyone. So who is this actress?
To all our entertainment news readers, we would like to inform you that the actress we are talking about is Jayalalithaa. During her time, she was considered the best one in the film industry and was highest paid. The actress even had the costliest saris and shoes and once, when her house was raided, the officers found 10,000 sarees and 28 kg of gold. In the 1997 raid, the officers raided her Poes Garden house in Chenni and her assets were worth Rs 188 crore and she had a total wealth of over Rs 900 crore. In today’s time, the property would’ve been considered to be worth Rs 5000 crore, which is more than Juhi Chawla’s wealth.
