Vivek Oberoi revealed that he earned his first crore at the age of 16. From a young age, he balanced his acting pursuits with business ventures, steadily building an empire that now reportedly boasts a turnover of Rs 1200 crore. But does the Masti 4 actor genuinely have a net worth that high?
Vivek Oberoi On Becoming Financially Independent
Recently, Vivek addressed this question during a conversation with Pinkvilla. He shared that he has been financially independent since he was 15 and that he made his first crore when he was 16 or 17. “It was through trading, and I knew how to save. It wasn’t cash but in stock value,” he explained. As he went to college, he gained a deeper understanding of business and the stock market. By 19, he had launched his first business and raised Rs 12 crore.
“At 19, I raised Rs 12 crore, with my personal contribution being just Rs 20-25 lakh. Everyone made a profit because I always prioritized investors,” he said. Over time, he established several companies—including a FinTech firm, an EdTech platform, roadside safety assistance, lab-grown diamond jewellery, and infrastructure consulting—all of which are doing well. He added that he works nearly 16 hours daily, often focusing on his businesses even on shooting days.
Vivek Reacts To Rs 1200 Cr Net Worth Claims
But does Vivek Oberoi truly have a net worth of Rs 1200 crore? He responded casually, “How does it matter? At the end of the day, you buy the car and house you want. That’s enough. God has given me enough to take care of many generations of my family.”
Vivek has since moved to Dubai, considering it his “home away from home” since the COVID pandemic. In an earlier interview with YouTube channel Owais Andrabi, he mentioned that Dubai’s business-friendly environment played a significant role in his wealth growth. He emphasised that as long as one respects local laws, customs, and culture, there are no issues.
The actor also shared that his father taught him essential skills like managing inventory, tracking sales, and handling money from a young age. According to a Forbes India report, Vivek said, “I got better and better at it… By 12 or 13, I was used to doing this every summer. It introduced me to the basics of running a business, selling, and understanding customer feedback.”
He credited early investments in the stock market and real estate for shaping his disciplined, growth-oriented mindset and for his ability to spot the right people to work with, as reported by Forbes India.
