If we're talking about individual net worth, it would be Preity Zinta by a mile. She has a 25% stake in a cricket team from when it was still possible. Those teams are approaching billion dollar valuations. If she sold her stake right now, she would easily make 200+ million. Nobody else even comes close.
If we're including husband and family wealth, then there are a lot of actresses like Juhi Chawla, Tina Ambani, Rani Mukherjee, Gayatri Joshi, Amrita Arora, Shilpa Shetty, Sonam Kapoor and Asin. Aishwarya would be next in line because AB will leave behind half his wealth for his son.
I don't put much stake in their obscure investments. Most of the time, they privately put in small amounts like 100K or 1 crore and then plaster the media about being investors and venture capitalists to hype themselves.
Same goes for "international" endorsements. Companies like Loreal don't really pay much because their ads are considered prestigious so they know everyone wants them and will do them for lesser amounts. It's the tacky brands like skin whitening creams, alcohol, and tobacco brands that pay the most because celebs have to put their name and reputation on the line for them.
