Kavya Maran Net Worth: The 2026 IPL season is set to kick off at the end of this very month. Once again, Kavya Maran—the owner of the Sunrisers Hyderabad—is poised to make an appearance at the cricket stadiums, showcasing her glamorous style. While most people recognize Kavya primarily as the owner of an IPL team, she also manages various other business ventures, including the country's largest media house. Earning crores annually, Kavya boasts a personal net worth running into the billions.
First, let's discuss her earnings and their sources. It is worth noting that, in addition to being the co-owner of the IPL team Sunrisers Hyderabad, Kavya serves as both an Executive Officer and the designated successor of the Sun Media Group. Consequently, her primary sources of income include her salary from the IPL team (exceeding ₹1 crore), her shareholdings, and the revenue generated from Sun TV. Furthermore, Kavya owns the South African league team, Sunrisers Eastern Cape, and is the owner of Sunrisers Leeds (in 'The Hundred' league) in the UK.

How Much Has She Earned So Far?
In terms of net worth, Kavya possesses assets worth approximately ₹400 crore; moreover, she is the sole heir to the Sun Group, an empire valued at ₹25,000 crore. Her father, Kalanithi Maran, currently serves as the group's Chairman, but Kavya is widely regarded as the designated successor who will take the helm in the future. Established in the 1990s, this media conglomerate began as a single magazine publication but has since expanded its footprint across digital media, television, radio, print, DTH services, cinema, and sports. Kavya is poised to become the next public face of this entire business empire.
How Valuable is the Sunrisers Team?
Following the dissolution of the Deccan Chargers in 2012, the Sun TV Group acquired this IPL franchise for a sum exceeding ₹85 crore. Today, the market valuation of this team stands at approximately ₹500 crore. Kavya plays a pivotal role in this team, ranging from player selection and team management to branding and strategy. Currently, she also serves as an Executive Director at Sun TV. Additionally, she oversees the operations of the company's music and radio channels. In 2024, she was honored with the Devi Award for Leadership.
