Thapalathy Vijay Net Worth: When movie stars enter politics, the spotlight follows them everywhere including their bank accounts. And now, all eyes are on actor-turned-politician Vijay who has just opened up his financial playbook. His election affidavit has spilled the numbers, and let’s just say, this is a full-blown blockbuster of wealth.
As the chief of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam steps into the electoral arena from Perambur, his affidavit reveals a massive financial footprint. Vijay has declared movable assets worth more than ₹404 crore. His immovable assets cross ₹115 crore.
His wife, Sangeeta Sornalingam, has also listed her share; movable assets worth over ₹15 crore and immovable assets around ₹2.5 crore.
Yes, that’s a political debut with serious financial muscle.
Bank balances that grab attention
A big chunk of Vijay’s wealth is parked in bank deposits.
The affidavit points to large savings in accounts with Indian Overseas Bank and Axis Bank.
Gold, diamonds and everything sparkling
The jewellery section of the affidavit reads like a luxury catalogue. Vijay and Sangeeta together reportedly own around 500 sovereigns of gold jewellery.
Vijay himself has more than 800 grams of gold, along with silver items valued at about ₹15 lakh.
Sangeeta’s collection is even more eye-catching; over 3 kg of gold jewellery, diamonds worth roughly ₹1 crore, and silver weighing around 2 kg.
From luxury cars to modest rides
The vehicle list is where the star power shows up again. Vijay owns multiple luxury cars, including models from BMW, a Lexus, and a Toyota Vellfire.
But there’s also a surprising mix: a Maruti Swift and even a TVS XL Super appear on the list.
Cash on hand and tax trail
Despite the massive wealth, Vijay has declared just ₹2 lakh in cash on hand. Compared to the crores elsewhere, it’s practically pocket money.
The affidavit also notes that he has paid income tax on assets worth ₹184 crore.
Looks like the money flow in the family is just as interesting. The affidavit says he has lent big amounts to people close to him; about ₹3.02 crore to his father, ₹87.12 lakh to his mother, and a hefty ₹12.6 crore to his wife.
Even the kids are on the list. He reportedly gave ₹8.78 lakh to his son and ₹4.6 lakh to his daughter.
