'Double your money every 3 years': Actor Ram Kapoor reveals the investment mantra behind his enough wealth for four generations
Synopsis Ram Kapoor revealed on a podcast his disciplined approach to wealth, instilled by his father, allowing him to prioritize passion over financial necessity in his career. He emphasizes strategic investments, particularly in real estate, as the key to building generational wealth. Popular actor Ram Kapoor recently appeared on Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa's podcast, where he opened up about his approach to money, his investments, and his current lifestyle. Known for his versatile roles on Indian television and film, Kapoor has built a strong financial foundation outside of the entertainment industry. He credited much of his disciplined attitude toward wealth to his father, Anil 'Billy' Kapoor, who was a prominent figure in the advertising world. That early exposure to a structured and visionary environment laid the groundwork for Kapoor's own understanding of how money should be handled.
ADVERTISEMENT Kapoor revealed that his reasons for staying active in the entertainment industry today are no longer financially motivated. Early in his career, he admitted he was focused on earning and building a secure future. But once financial goals were met, his focus shifted to passion-driven work. He now enjoys the freedom to choose projects at his leisure, often taking extended breaks of up to six months. During these breaks, Kapoor devotes time to overseeing his investments and property management. According to him, he now works purely for the joy of it.Kapoor emphasized that merely earning money is just the first step; how one uses that money determines true wealth. He believes that money sitting idle in a bank account has no value. Instead, investing wisely is the key to multiplying wealth over time. He has consistently followed this philosophy and attributes his growing fortune to strategic property purchases and investment decisions. Kapoor owns real estate in Dubai and other international markets, and he actively monitors his portfolio.
He advised that intelligent investment choices, paired with either a good financial mindset or the guidance of trusted advisors, can result in exponential growth. With sound decisions, Kapoor believes it's possible to double one's wealth every few years.In a previous interaction with Humans of Bombay, Kapoor shared a rare personal insight—his love for high-end watches and luxury cars. He acknowledged owning a Ferrari and a Porsche but noted that despite public perception, he prefers not to flaunt his wealth. As a celebrity, however, such things often become public knowledge, even when he prefers to stay low-profile about them.On the professional front, Ram Kapoor recently led the cast of Mistry, a crime drama series that premiered on Jio Hotstar on June 27. Despite his financial independence, Kapoor continues to pursue acting—not out of obligation, but because it still brings him joy.
