When people talk about the Deol family, attention usually drifts toward Sunny Deol’s blockbuster action films or Bobby Deol’s strong comeback. But away from the limelight, there’s one Deol who has quietly outpaced them both in wealth — Abhay Deol, the cousin whose net worth has reached an astonishing ₹400 crore.
A Different Kind of Star
Abhay Deol has always taken a different route in Bollywood. He avoids unnecessary publicity, stays away from flashy displays, and lets his work speak for him. He is neither the stereotypical Bollywood hero nor the overly vocal activist type. Instead, he works selectively and manages his finances with precision. According to MensXP, Abhay’s net worth is five times that of cousin Bobby Deol. He charges about ₹3 crore per film and earns nearly ₹10 crore each year.
Business Ventures Beyond Films
Acting isn’t Abhay’s only source of income. Over the years, he has quietly built a strong business portfolio. He co-owns a restaurant chain called The Fatty Cow, holds stakes in hospitality ventures, and runs his own production house, Forbidden Films. Under this banner, he has produced movies such as One By Two (2014) and What Are The Odds (2020), ensuring a steady secondary income.
Properties and Cars
Abhay also owns luxurious assets, including a ₹27 crore property in Mumbai and a serene home in Goa, which he reportedly prefers. His taste in cars reflects understated class — a Mitsubishi Pajero SFX, a Volkswagen Tiguan AllSpace, and a BMW X6 — stylish choices without the urge to flaunt.
How Bobby Deol Compares
Bobby Deol, on the other hand, has a net worth of around ₹66.7 crore, as reported by Lifestyle Asia. He charges ₹4–6 crore per film and earned about ₹5 crore for his role in Animal. His brand endorsements add to his wealth, with each deal bringing in approximately ₹1 crore. While Bobby’s earnings are substantial, Abhay’s diversified income and business ventures clearly place him ahead.
