The Richest Five: Pakistan’s Glamour & Business Titans Showbiz Stars

At the top of practically every recent list of the richest Pakistani actors sits Humayun Saeed. According to a 2025 media report, his net worth is estimated at US$ 50 million  which converts to roughly PKR 1,380 crore under some currency assumptions.

But Saeed’s wealth isn’t just from acting. He is also the chief executive officer of Six Sigma Plus, one of Pakistan’s most successful production houses. Through that company, he has produced many of the country’s most popular films and TV dramas.

This combination of acting, producing, and ownership has allowed him to build real staying power. In an industry where many stars rise and fade, Saeed’s diversified portfolio gives him both financial security and creative control; his reach, especially in recent years with high-budget films and serials, goes beyond television to mainstream cinematic success.

Coming next in the wealth charts is Shaan Shahid. Shaan is considered one of the most prolific actors of Pakistani cinema, having a decades-long presence in the industry with hundreds of films to his name. Recent reports put his net worth at approximately US$ 20 million.

His long career and wide popularity have translated into a steady stream of work, which has made him a reliable earner, and a fixture of Pakistani film.

This is where Shaan’s strength lies, in the volume of his work and a legacy reputation. Unlike many actors whose fame comes quickly and sometimes falls away, Shaan has, with time, garnered a loyal audience. His films across both Urdu and Punjabi cinema have gained him widespread success. Beyond acting, he has also ventured into filmmaking, direction, and production, adding to his credentials, although acting remains his core income source.

With such an extensive filmography, decades-long presence, Shaan represents a different kind of wealth: not flashy entrepreneurship, but steady, enduring success built on craft and reputation.

Among the top five richest actors, Maya Ali is a standout example, not only when it comes to acting, but also as an entrepreneur. Her reported net worth is around US$ 15 million.

Maya started her career in television dramas and quickly gained popularity for her talent and charm. Over time, she expanded beyond acting she launched her own clothing label, MAYA Pret A Porter, riding on her image and fan following to build a brand.

Outside of acting and fashion, Maya has also attracted high profile brand endorsements and projects a sign that today’s celebrities are not just performers but brands unto themselves. In this way, diversification has helped her establish streams of income that are more stable than the vagaries of acting projects. Her success underlines a modern trend-for many Pakistani actors, wealth isn’t just coming from the films or dramas; smart investments, personal brands, and ventures beyond acting are also responsible. Maya Ali is the best example of this shift.

Another big name in the list of the richest actors in Pakistan, Mahira Khan has an estimated net worth of around US$ 5 to 8 million, according to recent reports.

Her career has spanned from television to film and international projects, giving her a pan-regional appeal beyond just Pakistani audiences. She has often been described as one of Pakistan’s highest-paid actresses.

But like many of today’s A listers, her earnings don’t come from just acting. Her fame has been translated into other areas branding, fashion, and more. This multi dimensional approach to fame and fortune has kept her not just rich but very relevant all these years. Mahira represents a new kind of celebrity: global facing, brand savvy, and diversified, combining artistic prestige with business sense.

Rounding out the top five richest Pakistani actors is Fawad Khan, who’s estimated net worth is US$ 5 million.

What gives Fawad an edge is his cross border appeal. His popularity isn’t limited within the borders of Pakistan he has a considerable fan base in India and beyond, thanks to high profile projects and collaborations with international filmmakers.

This transnational fame has allowed him to work in both Pakistani and foreign projects, increasing his earning potential considerably. For many Pakistani actors, such international exposure signals not just fame but financial opportunity. Fawad’s career shows how, in today’s world of entertainment, borders mean less: a popular actor with appeal across national boundaries can build a global brand and continued earnings outside his local markets.
