Sona Comstar was valued at ₹40,000 crore, and his personal net worth stood at ₹10,300 crore - making him one of the wealthiest individuals globally, ranked 2,703 on the world rich list. In contrast, Karisma Kapoor's net worth is reportedly around ₹120 crore - nearly 85 times less.

Despite his immense wealth and high-profile past, Sunjay remained largely out of the public spotlight. After his divorce from Karisma, the two reportedly hired a parenting coach to co-parent their children in a healthy, balanced manner.
