Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi, known for his performances in films like Company, Saathiya, and Shootout at Lokhandwala, has quietly established himself as a successful entrepreneur, amassing a staggering Rs 1200 crore fortune outside the film industry.
Luxury Real Estate Ventures
Oberoi’s journey into business began with real estate, where he co-founded BNW Real Estate Developments, a leading luxury property firm in the UAE. The company is currently executing 23 ultra-premium housing projects, including the Taj Wellington Mews on Al Marjan Island. His firm stands out for being debt-free and catering to high-net-worth clients seeking ultra-luxurious homes.
Diversification into Diamonds, Education, and Tech
Beyond real estate, Oberoi co-founded Solitario, a brand specializing in lab-grown diamonds, making fine jewelry more accessible. His education venture, iScholar, provides quality coaching for students in rural areas, helping bridge the gap between urban and rural education. He also launched Impresario Global, a digital marketing firm focused on brand promotion with a social impact.
Investments in Roadside Assistance and Luxury Spirits
Oberoi has invested in ReadyAssist, a 24/7 roadside assistance service that helps stranded motorists across India. Most recently, he entered the luxury alcohol industry, acquiring a 21% stake in Rutland Square Spirits Ltd, a premium Scottish craft gin company.
Bollywood and Future Projects
While Oberoi is less active in Bollywood, his most recent film was PM Narendra Modi, where he played the lead role. His upcoming project, Kesari Veer, is set to release in May 2025, narrating the story of Hamirji Gohil, a warrior who defended the Somnath Temple.
Vivek Oberoi’s business acumen has propelled him into the ranks of India’s wealthiest celebrity entrepreneurs, proving that success extends far beyond the silver screen.
