Samay Raina has skyrocketed to YouTube fame this year, with his parody-turned-phenomenon India’s Got Latent racking up massive viewership. What began as a spoof of India’s Got Talent has evolved into a cult hit, boosting not just his popularity but also his bank balance.
Recently, Raina took his humor to the big leagues, sharing the Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 stage with none other than Amitabh Bachchan. When Big B dropped his iconic Shehenshaah dialogue, Raina seized the moment, quipping, “Jab beta bana hi liya hai, to thodi property bhi de do.” That punchline left everyone laughing—but also got us wondering: just how much is Samay Raina actually worth?
How Much is Samay Raina Net Worth?
Samay Raina has been able to amass a considerable fortune after his appearance on the show India’s Got Latent. As reported by Indiatimes, the YouTuber who has recently gained popularity is worth approximately ₹140 crore. Some other sources suggest he earns ₹1.5 crore per month and his total wealth may be around ₹190 crore.
Now, let’s see how it looks if Amitabh Bachchan took the Samay’s Kaun Banega Crorepati joke seriously and gave him 10% of his total net worth (₹160 crore) Raina’s net worth will be ₹300 crore. This is far more than the alleged ₹280 crore that Abhishek Bachchan possesses. Who would have thought that a joke, which could be delivered at the right time, could in theory make Samay wealthier than Big B’s son? Now that’s comedy gold.
