According to Forbes, Sunjay Kapur held an astounding net worth of $1.2 billion (₹10,300 crore) at the time of his passing. The magazine highlighted that his wealth peaked at an even higher $1.6 billion (₹13,000 crore) in both 2022 and 2024.
This immense fortune positioned Kapur as significantly wealthier than nearly all of Bollywood, including India’s richest actor, Shah Rukh Khan, whose net worth is estimated at $880 million (₹7,700 crore). To put it in perspective, the entire extended Kapoor family (Sunjay’s former in-laws) collectively possess a net worth of around ₹2,000 crore, which is merely one-fifth of Kapur’s wealth. Meanwhile, reports estimate Karisma Kapoor’s net worth at ₹120 crore.
Sunjay Kapur served as the chairman of Sona Comstar, a prominent auto components manufacturer. The company was established in 1997 by his late father, Surinder Kapur, a visionary who pioneered India’s auto components industry. Sunjay’s grandfather’s jewelry business inspired the name “Sona” itself.
Following his father’s passing in 2015, Sunjay took the helm as managing director. Under his leadership, he significantly expanded Sona Comstar’s footprint, venturing into international markets like China, Mexico, Serbia, and the U.S. Today, Bloomberg reports that Sona Comstar boasts a market capitalization of ₹31,000 crore (nearly $4 billion).
