Sanjay Dutt isn’t just an actor — he’s practically a walking chapter of Bollywood history. With more than four decades in cinema and over 135 films, he’s lived
through superstardom, scandals, prison time, a cancer battle, and countless comebacks. Born to legendary parents Sunil Dutt and Nargis, Sanju Baba’s life has always been larger than the big screen. And at 65, he’s still pulling in blockbuster roles — from playing the menacing Adheera in KGF: Chapter 2 alongside Yash, to sharing screen space with Thalapathy Vijay in Leo. But here’s the kicker: Sanjay Dutt isn’t just about acting. He’s built a multi-crore empire of homes, cars, watches, businesses and, rather unexpectedly, even Scotch whisky. Let’s peel back the curtain on the world of luxury that this superstar calls his everyday life.
Sanjay Dutt’s net worth: Rs 295 crore and counting
According to Financial Express and Free Press Journal, Sanjay Dutt’s net worth stands at around Rs 295 crore. His acting fees range from Rs 8 crore to Rs 15 crore per film. For his Tamil debut, Leo, he reportedly charged Rs 8 crore, while his upcoming Double iSmart fetched him Rs 15 crore (per Times of India). That’s not counting endorsements, production ventures, and the sneaky little empire of businesses he has built on the side.
The business side of Sanju Baba
Dutt isn’t content with being just an actor. He’s dipped his fingers into many pies (and some glasses of whisky too).
- Film production: He runs two production houses — Sanjay Dutt Productions and Three Dimension Motion Pictures. While they haven’t set the box office ablaze, they’ve kept him firmly on the producer’s chair.
- Cricket ownership: He co-owns the Harare Hurricanes in the ZimAfro T10 league and B-Love Kandy in Sri Lanka’s LPL.
- Start-ups: He’s invested in DawnTown (a sneaker marketplace), Cyber Media India, and Cartel & Bros, an alcohol start-up.
- The Glenwalk whisky: Yes, he even launched his own Scotch brand, priced at Rs 1,550 a bottle.
- Food & beverage: In Dubai, he started Dutts’ Franktea, an online chai and street food venture.
Fun Fact: Only in Bollywood can you see someone go from “Khal Nayak” to chaiwala and whisky connoisseur in one lifetime.
Real estate: Homes fit for a king
The Pali Hill mansion, Mumbai – Rs 40 crore
Sanjay, his wife, Maanayata, and their twins, Shahraan and Iqra live in a palatial residence in Bandra’s Pali Hill.
According to Times of India, the home is valued at Rs 40 crore. Architectural Digest describes it as a throwback to understated 80s Bollywood glamour — think chandeliers, family portraits, and that “star aura” you can’t quite put a price on.
He’s in good company too. The neighbours include Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Rekha, and Saif Ali Khan. Basically, you could throw a stone in Pali Hill and it would land on a superstar’s driveway (not recommended).
The Dubai mansion
In 2020, Dutt shifted base to Dubai, where his children now study. His wife’s business runs from there too, and Sanjay divides his time between Mumbai’s chaos and Dubai’s calm. While the exact cost isn’t publicly known, Maanayata frequently shares glimpses online — spacious living rooms, leather sofas, designer kitchens, art-laden walls, and a swimming pool. It’s more five-star hotel than home.
Cars and bikes: Wheels worth crores
Dutt’s garage is less a collection and more a luxury showroom:
- Rolls-Royce Ghost – Rs 6.95–7.95 crore
- Range Rover Autobiography – Rs 2.99 crore
- Audi R8 – Rs 2.72 crore
- Ferrari 599 GTB – Rs 1.3 crore
- Audi Q7 – around Rs 1 crore
And because no Bollywood hero is complete without bikes:
- Harley-Davidson Fat Boy – Rs 25.68 lakh
- Ducati Multistrada – Rs 21–31 lakh
Trivia: His lucky car number used to be 4545. In 2022, he changed it to 2999. Fans still speculate why — numerology or just a change of vibe?
Watches: Because time is money
Dutt doesn’t just wear a watch; he straps a small fortune on his wrist. His collection features:
- Roger Dubuis Excalibur Double Tourbillon – Rs 64 lakh
- Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Leopard Dial – Rs 40 lakh
- Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore – Rs 40 lakh
- Rolex Yacht-Master II – Rs 28 lakh
- Hublot King Power Mexican Independence – Rs 27 lakh
According to the Times of India, he also has a wine collection worth Rs 14 lakh. Yes, even his drinks are luxury-branded.
The legacy of Sanjay Dutt
From debuting in Rocky (1981) to classics like Vaastav, Khal Nayak and Munna Bhai MBBS, Sanjay Dutt’s career has been nothing short of a rollercoaster. He’s had more comebacks than most actors have films. His net worth may be Rs 295 crore, but his cultural value — the memes, the dialogues, the aura — is priceless.
At 66, Sanjay Dutt is still relevant, still reinventing, and still proving why Bollywood’s baba isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
