Actors make big bucks but many of them are also sound businessmen. We have seen many biggies opening parallel businesses apart from their acting career. Some are restaurateurs, fashion brands or lavish pubs/clubs owners but mostly all of them are real estate enthusiasts.
Celebrities invest heavily in properties both commercial and otherwise to create a portfolio of assets.??Recently, Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan bought three office spaces in Mumbai¡¯s Veer Savarkar Signature building for a whopping Rs 60 crore!
According to documents acquired by the commercial real estate analytics site FloorTap.com, these office spaces are situated in Mumbai's Andheri West neighborhood, near Veera Desai Road.
According to records, Big B allegedly purchased three office buildings spanning a total of 8,429 square feet for Rs 59.58 crore.
