Comedian and content creator Tanmay Bhat expressed astonishment at a recent report that claimed his estimated net worth to be ₹ 665 crore, thus dubbing him as India's wealthiest content creator. The report, released by a wealth management startup, positioned Bhat ahead of other notable Indian content creators such as Bhuvan Bam and Carry Minati.
However, Bhat, formerly the CEO of the comedy group AIB and the creative mind behind Moonshot, refuted these claims. He took to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to assert that the reported figure was "wildly off the mark." Bhat emphasized that the stated amount was inaccurately high.
In another social media post, which he later deleted, Bhat elaborated further, stating that earning ₹ 665 crore solely by posting memes on social media was implausible.

Starting his career as a TV show writer, Bhat co-founded the popular YouTube channel AIB in 2013 alongside Gursimran Khamba, Rohan Joshi, and Ashish Shakya. The channel gained significant popularity for its comedy sketches, jokes, and parodies. However, Bhat faced numerous controversies, notably during the MeToo Movement in 2018, where he was accused of shielding an employee accused of misconduct, resulting in his removal as AIB's CEO.
The report detailing the net worth of Indian content creators was published by a newspaper. Alongside Bhat, it listed other prominent creators such as Technical Guruji, Bhuvan Bam, Ranveer Allahbadia, and Carry Minati, providing insights into their respective financial standings within the industry.
