What is Vijay’s net worth in 2026?
Celebrity Net Worth estimates $65 million, updated August 11, 2026. Election disclosures provide a different measure: ADR/MyNeta’s 2026 Perambur affidavit summary lists ₹648.86 crore in assets and ₹7.64 crore in liabilities. Those summary totals should not be confused with an independently assessed personal net worth.
How Vijay made his money
Film work is the background to his financial disclosures. His 2026 affidavit’s self-income table reports ₹184.54 crore for FY2024-25. BBC reported that he was sworn in as Tamil Nadu chief minister on May 10, 2026.

The election affidavit is a separate self-declaration, not a second commercial wealth estimate. ADR/MyNeta’s summary includes family columns; its ₹648.86 crore asset total is not presented here as Vijay’s individual net worth.
Reported earnings figures
- ADR/MyNeta’s self-income table reports ₹184.54 crore for FY2024-25 and ₹237.47 crore for FY2023-24 (2026 Perambur affidavit transcription). These are declared annual income figures, not asset values.
- The same page lists ₹648.86 crore in aggregate assets and ₹7.64 crore in liabilities. Its immovable-assets table separates ₹220.16 crore in the self column from ₹2.50 crore in the spouse column. Different scope explains why personal and summary totals should not be interchanged.
- Celebrity Net Worth describes its $65 million estimate as linked to approximately ₹623 crore in personal net assets after disclosed liabilities. We retain that as the publisher’s estimate rather than deriving a new dollar figure from the broader ADR summary.
