“I’m Rich, You’re Not”—This Actor Became a Teen Crorepati Without Family Money

Actor-turned-entrepreneur Vivek Oberoi has revealed that he became a crorepati in his teens, not through Bollywood, but by building a business empire from scratch—after his father, veteran actor Suresh Oberoi, told him he wasn’t entitled to family wealth. In a candid interview on the Dubai Property Insider podcast, Vivek shared how this tough-love approach sparked his entrepreneurial journey.

 

By age 10, he was crafting business plans and selling products door-to-door. At 19, he raised $3 million for his first startup and sold it by 23, making significant returns for himself and his investors. Today, he has taken nine companies public and is planning to list four more. His ventures span real estate, spirits, mobility tech, and edutech, with a reported net worth of ₹1,200 crore as of April 2025.
