Is the net worth of Tanmay Bhat a whopping Rs 665 crore ?

Comedian Tanmay Bhat recently responded to a viral news report claiming his net worth to be a whopping Rs 665 crore, marking him as the wealthiest comedian in the country. However, questions arose regarding the accuracy of this claim.

The speculation began when a screenshot shared by a user displayed a wealth management company's assertion that Tanmay Bhat, co-founder of the now-defunct comedy group AIB, topped the list of richest content creators in India. Many expressed skepticism over these figures, with Bhat purportedly leading with Rs 665 crore, followed by Technical Guruji, Bhuvan Bam, Ranveer Allahbadia, and Ajey Nagar (Carry Minati).

Journalist Suchin Mehrotra humorously tweeted about the matter, prompting Tanmay Bhat to respond with laughing emojis, dismissing the reported figure as wildly inaccurate. Bhat further stated on Twitter that accumulating Rs 665 crore through sharing memes on social media was implausible, although he later deleted this tweet.

Several users on social media platform X expressed doubts about the credibility of Bhat's stated net worth even before his clarification. They questioned the methodology used to arrive at these figures and pointed out inconsistencies in comparison to other public figures' reported net worths.

Meanwhile, Tanmay Bhat remains active in his creative endeavors, recently being involved in a well-received advertisement campaign for a men's wellness brand featuring Johnny Sins and Ranveer Singh. His YouTube channel boasts over 1,000 videos and 4.72 million subscribers.
