Vivek Oberoi made his debut with ‘Company’ and is known for movies like ‘Saathiya’, ‘Masti’ among others. Apart from being an actor, while he’s seen in lesser movies now, the actor has now moved to Dubai and is a full time entrepreneur. His net worth stands at Rs 1200 crore. In an interview recently, the actor spoke about what led to the foundation of his empire and how his father Suresh Oberoi taught him to be independent from a young age. During a candid chat on the Dubai Property Insider podcast, actor-turned-entrepreneur offered a rare glimpse into the foundation of his business empire. Reflecting on his formative years, Vivek credited his father for instilling a strong sense of business acumen early on.“He would bring me a product and would ask me to create an entire business plan about how I was going to sell it,” Vivek recalled. “I started understanding the nuances of business from the age of 10 because I was going from door to door to sell that stuff.”Vivek revealed that despite coming from a wealthy family, his father was clear about one thing: “I am a rich man; you are not. You will get there, but you have to do it on your own.”This tough-love approach shaped Vivek’s teenage years in ways that set him apart from his peers. While most teens were busy enjoying school life, he was deep-diving into the intricacies of the stock market. “I was able to raise $3 million for my first company, and I was only 19, and I made a lot of money for my investors and myself, and I sold the company by the time I was 23,” he said. “If I hadn’t been applying myself for all those years, it never would have been possible. Because I put in that work, now I have been able to take nine companies public on the Indian stock market, and I am planning to take four more.”As per Forbes India, Vivek Oberoi’s net worth stood at ₹1,200 crore as of April 2025. His portfolio boasts an eclectic mix of ventures, including BNW Real Estate, Solitario, Impresario Global, Rutland Square Spirits, and ReadyAssist.While many remember him for his breakout role in Ram Gopal Varma’s Company (2002) and the romantic hit Saathiya the same year, Vivek has since carved a parallel path as a sharp and self-made businessman.
