Vijay, a prominent actor and newly elected politician in Tamil Nadu, has declared total assets exceeding ₹600 crore in his election affidavit. His financial strategy is notably conservative, with over ₹330 crore held in bank deposits across institutions like Indian Overseas Bank and Axis Bank. Despite his celebrity status and substantial earnings from films and endorsements, Vijay's direct equity investments are minimal, amounting to only ₹19.37 lakh. This conservative approach contrasts with many of his peers who have aggressively invested in equities or startups. His political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), has made a significant impact in the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, winning 108 seats and challenging the long-standing dominance of the DMK and AIADMK. As Tamil Nadu contributes nearly 9% of India’s GDP, Vijay's financial discipline is under scrutiny as he navigates his new political role.
