Vijay Mallya is one of the most renowned former businessmen who has set a different level of bar for his company, “Kingfisher”. For him, life hasn’t been that great lately, as today he is again in the headlines, but he himself spoke this time. When we talk about Vijay Mallya Net Worth in 2025, surely it is less when compared to ten years prior.
Many people have referred to him as the “King of Good Times,” but surely his journey has seen a lot of downs, especially in the last ten years. He was on the headlines of every blog, newspaper, and whatnot, but he chose to remain silent. Finally, he came on the podcast with Raj Shamani and opened his heart out and spoke about a lot of things.
He also mentioned that people called him “Chor” and said he left the country after doing a 9000 crore money laundering scam. This is what he had to say on that:
You may call me a fugitive for not going to India post March, but I didn’t run away. I flew on a prescheduled visit. Fair enough, I didn’t return for reasons that I consider are valid… so if you want to call me a fugitive, go ahead. But where is the ‘chor’ (thief) coming from? Where is the ‘chori’ ?
Vijay Mallya Net Worth in 2025
After his father, Vittal Mallya, passed away, Vijay Mallya became the chairman of United Breweries Group. He was 28 years old at the time. Vijay made his brand, Kingfisher, the best beer company in India. They dominated the Indian Market for a long time, and surely, it is one of the most served brands today as well.
Not only in India, but also there are a lot of properties that he owns across the world. Some of the places where he has his properties are the United States, France, and the United Kingdom. In the United Kingdom, he has two mansions. He also owns a penthouse in the United States of America. Lastly, he also has an exclusive estate in France’s Le Grand Jardin, Cannes.
His exact net worth in 2025 is not confirmed, but it has surely seen a massive decrease. In the podcast, when he was asked about coming back to India, he replied:
“If I have assurance of a fair trial and a dignified existence in India, you may be right, but I don’t.”
What did Mallya say about RCB’s victory in IPL 2025?
He had bidded for three teams in 2008, when IPL started. Mumbai Indians was one of the teams but he got the Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
I was very impressed with the pitch that Lalit Modi made to the BCCI committee about this league. He called me one day and said ok, teams are going to be auctioned. Are you going to buy it? So, I bid from three franchises, and I lost Mumbai by a very small amount of money
He has one of the people who tweeted his about his emotions after his team the Royal Challenger Bengaluru. It took 18 years for the team to lift the cup. The team saw many big names came and left, Virat Kohli was always by their side.
When I founded RCB it was my dream that the IPL trophy should come to Bengaluru. I had the privilege of picking the legendary King Kohli as a youngster and it is remarkable that he has stayed with RCB for 18 years. I also had the honour of picking Chris Gayle the Universe Boss and Mr. 360 AB de Villers who remain an indelible part of RCB history. Finally, the IPL trophy arrives in Bengaluru
