Kavya Maran Net Worth
According to a report by Jan Bharat Times, Kavya Maran's estimated net worth is approximately Rs 409 crore. While this is a minuscule amount when compared to her father, who topped the Tamil Nadu IIFL Wealth Hurun India Rich List 2019 with a net worth of 19,000 crore rupees, it still shows her business acumen at such a young age.
The IPL Mega Auction 2025 will be held in Abady Al Johar Arena in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on November 24 and 25. Maran and her team will have the second least amount of money in the purse, just behind Rajasthan Royals, with just 45 crore rupees to work with. Will the ‘Sun’ rise on Hyderabad again?
