Katrina Kaif has come a long way from being labeled as just a 'pretty face' to being one of India's most successful businesswomen, after almost leaving the industry, her movie Namastey London turned her life around. She gave hits like Bharat, Zero, Raajneeti, and Ek Tha Tiger over the years.
In 2019, she made a strong business decision by introducing her beauty line, Kay Beauty today, Katrina's brand is valued at Rs 240 crore, and her overall net worth is Rs 263 crore, she has luxury houses, high-end cars, and a loyal fan base.
In 2018, Katrina invested Rs 2.04 crore in a joint venture with beauty retail powerhouse Nykaa. By 2021, that had risen to ten times, to Rs 22 crore. Co-founding Kay Beauty with Nykaa served her well, in terms of both industry know-how and brand clout. Even in a packed makeup space, Kay Beauty established itself in quick time as one of the most reliable and top-selling cosmetic brands in India.
Katrina's interest in makeup started during her teenage years, she recalled, "I used to go to makeup counters just to experiment later, I learned from the top artists as an actor and model." That initial interest in makeup developed into a knowledgeable business concept that resonated perfectly with Indian consumers.
Other celebrities including Kriti Sanon, Masaba Gupta, Deepika Padukone, and Mira Rajput entered the skincare space but, the majority of their brands failed. Here, it is notable that Deepika's 82°E incurred a loss of Rs 25.1 crore in FY2024 compared to Katrina's brand that made Rs 240 crore in 2025 alone.
Katrina also made smart real estate choices, she owns a Rs 17 crore two-storey apartment in Mumbai’s Mourya House, Andheri West. She also has a London home worth Rs 7.2 crore, currently, she lives with husband Vicky Kaushal in a plush Juhu apartment with a three-year lease worth Rs 6.2 crore.
Katrina has a Range Rover Vogue LWB worth Rs 2.37 crore, a Mercedes ML 350 (Rs 66 lakh), and an Audi Q7 (Rs 1 crore). Her garage is indicative of her sophisticated, premium lifestyle.
As per Fincash, Katrina Kaif's net worth is Rs 263 crore. It consists of her earnings from films, endorsements, stake in Kay Beauty, and real estate. She has shown that persistence, passion, and astute business choices can redefine a public image and create an empire.
