Tamil cinema icon Vijay, fondly known as Thalapathy Vijay, has long been celebrated for his larger-than-life screen presence and unmatched fan following.
His recent entry into politics and gradual exit from full-time cinema have only intensified public interest in his life; both professional and personal.
Vijay’s final film, Jana Nayagan, which was slated for release in January 2026, has been delayed due to issues related to its censor certificate.
Around the same time, reports emerged that his wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam, had filed for divorce at the Chengalpattu family court, alleging infidelity.
While neither Vijay nor his wife has officially commented on the matter, the development has sparked widespread speculation online.
The couple has been married for over 26 years and has two children.
Despite mixed critical reception, Vijay’s recent films—Leo and The Greatest of All Time—performed strongly at the box office, further cementing his commercial pull.
His 69th film, Jana Nayagan, generated massive buzz even before release, largely because it is expected to be his final appearance on the silver screen as he shifts focus to his political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam.
Multiple media reports estimate Vijay’s net worth to be between ₹600 crore and ₹700 crore.
A significant portion of his wealth comes from the domestic and overseas earnings of his films, along with lucrative brand endorsements and real estate investments.
According to Asianet, Vijay typically charges between ₹100 crore and ₹120 crore per film.
However, reports suggest that his remuneration for Jana Nayagan could go as high as ₹250 crore, making it one of the highest paychecks in Indian cinema.
Among his most valuable assets is his sea-facing bungalow in Neelankarai, Chennai, estimated to be worth ₹70–80 crore.
Vijay is also known for his impressive collection of luxury cars, reportedly valued at around ₹8 crore. His garage includes a Rolls-Royce Ghost, BMW X5 and X6, Audi A8 L, Range Rover Evoque, Volvo XC90, several Mercedes-Benz models, and a Ford Mustang.
While pinning down an exact figure for his net worth is difficult, there is no doubt that Vijay has amassed enormous wealth and goodwill through his decades-long career.
Even amid intense scrutiny surrounding his personal and professional life, his fan base remains fiercely loyal, standing by the superstar as he enters a new phase of his journey.
