The IPL 2024 season finished with an exciting climax in which kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) defeated Sunrisers hyderabad (SRH). This season featured an astonishing exhibition of cricketing talent, culminating in the KKR winning their third IPL title. The final match was more than simply a contest between two teams; it was also a spectacle starring the league's most fervent supporters, SRH owner Kavya Maran and KKR co-owner, bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan.
Kavya Maran: The Face of Sunrisers Hyderabad
Kavya Maran has become a recognizable figure among cricket fans thanks to her unrelenting devotion to her side, Sunrisers Hyderabad. Kavya finished her education in chennai and graduated from Commerce before traveling to london to pursue an MBA. She is presently in charge of SRH and other commercial endeavors for the sun Group, one of India's leading media companies.
Kalanidhi Maran, Kavya's father, controls the sun Network, which consists of many television channels, newspapers, a radio station, a film production company, and a weekly magazine. The family also owns the airline SpiceJet. With SRH's successful season, which culminated in runners-up, Kavya's attendance at the stadium has been a major highlight, contributing to her rising popularity.
Shah Rukh Khan: The king of Bollywood
Shah Rukh Khan, also known as the "King Khan" of bollywood, has been a staunch supporter of his club, KKR. He is well-known for his over-the-top personality. With this season's success, KKR has three IPL titles, cementing their position in IPL history. Shah Rukh Khan's engagement in the team extends beyond ownership; his active participation and charm have helped grow the team's brand and fan base.
Net Worth: Kavya Maran vs. Shah Rukh Khan
Despite Shah Rukh Khan's enormous fame and success, Kavya Maran is far wealthier. Her father, Kalanidhi Maran, owns a massive business empire, which accounts for the gap. Kalanidhi Maran is ranked 82nd on the list of India's billionaires, with a net worth of more than Rs. 24,000 crore. Kavya, being the only kid, is set to inherit this vast inheritance.
In comparison, Shah Rukh Khan has a net worth of roughly Rs. 6000 crores. SRK has expanded its portfolio by investing in film production, a VFX studio, and a variety of other businesses. However, his fortune, while enormous, pales in comparison to that of the Maran family.
