Superstar Shah Rukh Khan has entered the list of super-rich Indians who have personal wealth of $300 million or more, says a report.

The actor, who is the co-owner of Red Chillies Entertainment, has been ranked at 114 with personal assets of $400 million, according to the second edition of Hurun India Rich List released on Thursday.

The report says the total wealth of India's top 100 rich people rose to $250 billion this year as compared to $221 billion in the previous year.

With personal wealth of $18.9 billion, Reliance Industries Limited chairman Mukesh Ambani tops the country's rich list followed by London-based ArcelorMittal's chief L.N. Mittal with assets of $15.9 billion.

Dilip Shanghvi, 58, founder of Sun Pharmaceuticals, India's second largest drug maker, broke into the top three for the first time with a 66 per cent surge in his wealth. This rise in stock price was supported by the expected sales of the cancer drug Doxil, following Janssen Pharma Inc's admission of shortage of the drug supply, the report said.

According to the report, 141 individuals in India have personal wealth of $300 million or more. Last year it was only 101 individuals.
