Salman Khan as a Real Estate Owner
- Galaxy Apartment and Chimbai Road Property
Surprisingly, despite being a multimillionaire, Salman Khan lives in a small one-bedroom apartment that’s only about 170 to 190 square feet in size. This apartment is in a building called Galaxy Apartment in Bandra, Mumbai, and it’s now worth $2.3 million.
But recently, there’s news that Salman Khan and his family might move to a new place. They plan to shift to a six-story house on Chimbai Road in Bandra West. The new house will be on a 4,000-square-foot plot that Salman’s parents bought for $2.1 million in 2011. The new building plans include an open terrace with a dome and two basements with parking space for 16 cars.

As Salman Khan’s career grew, so did his property holdings. Besides his places in Mumbai, he bought 150 acres of land in Panvel, Mumbai. He named this place Arpita Farms after his sister. It’s considered one of the most expensive properties in Mumbai. The property has a fancy swimming pool, gym, bungalows, a farm for animals and horses, and lots of space for biking. Just Arpita Farms has added about $11.5 million to Salman Khan’s wealth. However, there have been recent reports about the Salmans facing trouble because they built too much on the Wajapur farm, an area that’s meant to be environmentally sensitive.
- Gorai Beach holiday home
Salman Khan owns a vacation spot at Gorai Beach, Salsette, Mumbai, which has increased his wealth by $4.3 million. This 100-acre property has two bungalows and a two-story farmhouse. It’s got cool stuff like a swimming pool, a mini-theater, and a gym. Because Salman loves motorbikes, there’s even a big area here just for dirt biking.
