While Bollywood stars have long been big investors in real estate, no one possibly plays the investing game better than Khiladi Kumar, who has amassed an enviable property portfolio both in India and abroad.
Akshay Kumar needs no introduction. He has ruled the box office for decades as one of India’s biggest superstars and is currently a one-man industry, releasing multiple movies every year, investing in countless business ventures and raking in the moolah from his advertisements and other deals. The superstar was recently ranked by Forbes as one of the world’s highest-earning actors, well ahead of global celebrities such as Jackie Chan and Will Smith! The grapevine has it that Akshay Kumar is the highest-paid star in India as well, earning a whopping Rs. 120 crore for a movie along with earning handsomely from 30-40 brand endorsement deals at any given point of time.
With a colossal fortune at his disposal, Akshay Kumar has been acing the real estate game for years. He seems to have an insatiable appetite for investing in land and real estate, avenues that offer him security and guaranteed returns through income/appreciation on his investment.
On that note, here’s taking a look at his enviable property portfolio-
- Mumbai Residence- Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna’s primary residence in Mumbai is nothing short of astounding! Situated in the ultra-exclusive Prime Beach building right on Juhu’s waterfront, this luxurious duplex offers a gorgeous view of the Arabian Sea. It has a massive living room, dining zone, home theatre, walk-in closet and a beautifully maintained private garden with a fish pond, hammocks, swings, and more! The house interiors have been designed Twinkle Khanna and boast of lavish artefacts sourced from various parts of the world.
- Mumbai Real Estate Investments- Akshay Kumar also made headlines in the year 2017, when he purchased four apartments in an Andheri real estate project. Each flat is sized at 2,200 square feet and all four of them are situated on the 21st floor of this 38 storied Transcon Triumph project. The location is highly strategic at Link Road in Andheri. He reportedly shelled out INR Rs. 4.5 crore back then for each apartment. At the same time, Akshay Kumar also has other property investments in and around Mumbai as per several reports. He is very close to leading real estate developer Vikas Oberoi and has invested in real estate projects helmed by Oberoi Realty. Akshay Kumar also purchased a luxury apartment located on the 39th floor of the Skylark Towers project in Annie Besant Road, Worli. The transaction was concluded for Rs. 28 crore as per reports. He reportedly owns a duplex in Bandra and a Lokhandwala apartment as well.
- Goa Villa- Akshay Kumar loves jetting off to Goa with his family and loved ones. He purchased a luxury villa in Goa right on the beach which his wife Twinkle Khanna reportedly fell in love with some years earlier. He paid Rs. 5 crore for buying this stylish home which has its own swimming pool as well. It goes without saying that the value of this luxurious property has appreciated manifold ever since! His Goa villa is located at Casa de Sol in Anjuna and stands out for its Portuguese-themed design influences.
- Investments in Canada- Akshay Kumar has been a Canadian citizen for quite some time and he has extensively invested in real estate here. Reports state that Akshay Kumar has bought a hill in Toronto along with owning two luxurious apartments and a premium bungalow in the capital of Canada.

As can be seen, Akshay Kumar is one of the savviest real estate investors in India. In fact, his staggering property portfolio is worth a staggering amount if you come to think of it! His Mumbai portfolio alone could be worth Rs. 200-250 crore as per estimates. Take his investments in Goa, Mauritius and Canada into account and what you have is a jaw-dropping net-worth in terms of property alone. Twinkle Khanna and Akshay Kumar also made news when they decided to sell off the former’s father and iconic yesteryear superstar Rajesh Khanna’s famous Aashirwad bungalow on Carter Road in Mumbai.
Twinkle Khanna and her sister Rinke Khanna have also been bequeathed a handsome property inheritance courtesy of the late Rajesh Khanna. The superstar owned a Versova apartment, Madh Island bungalow, Linking Road office and some properties in Chennai including Aashirwad Theatre apart from his primary bungalow in Mumbai.
