CarryMinati, whose real name is Ajey Nagar, is a YouTuber from Faridabad, India, known for Hindi roast videos and live-streamed gaming. Indian outlets give two very different net worth figures for him: about $5 million (41 crore rupees) in a 2023 Times of India web story, and Rs131 crore in two 2025 reports. We show both and do not pick one.

What is CarryMinati’s net worth in 2026?

We found three outside estimates and none names a method. The Times of India web story of May 25, 2023 says about $5 million (41 crore rupees). ABP Live (December 20, 2025) and Koimoi (October 5, 2025) both say Rs131 crore. Those two give the same figure with no named sourcing, so their independence could not be established. We did not find an update in 2026.

The 2023 and 2025 figures are far apart and we cannot reconcile them from the sources, so we do not average them or convert one into the other’s currency. The Indian Express also repeated the Rs131 crore figure in an October 31, 2025 photo caption. Treat all of these as rough outside estimates, not a confirmed number.

ABP Live, December 20, 2025	Rs131 crore	Net worth estimate. Same figure as Koimoi with no named sourcing, so independence could not be established.

These are estimates by outside sites, not audited figures. We do not use them to judge each other.

How CarryMinati makes money

YouTube. Global Indian reported in March 2024 that he runs two channels, CarryMinati for roasts and sketches and CarryisLive for gaming streams. He told The Hollywood Reporter India in 2025 that YouTube remains his primary work.

Music and projects. Indian Express reported in 2025 that he and his team made the song “Yalgaar,” which he says is the most viewed content on his channel. In the same interview he said he wants to move into web series and films.

We did not find a sourced breakdown of his income, so we do not state what share comes from ads, sponsors or other work.
