How to read this: the headline is the net worth Vinesh Phogat declared in her 2024 Haryana election affidavit: total declared assets minus total declared liabilities, as transcribed by the Association for Democratic Reforms (MyNeta) and reported by The Economic Times and India Today. Affidavit values are what the candidate states, often below market value, so this is an official declaration, not a market estimate. We show it as declared and have not adjusted it. Keep in mind it is 2 years old. The figure was published in INR; the US dollar amount next to it is our simple conversion at the European Central Bank reference rate of October 23, 2026, not a separate estimate.

The Economic Times

Vinesh Phogat is one of India's most decorated wrestlers and a member of the famous Phogat wrestling family from Haryana. She won Commonwealth Games gold three times in a row, Asian Games gold in 2018 and two world championship bronze medals, and she was one of the leaders of the 2023 protests by Indian wrestlers.

At the Paris Olympics in 2024 she reached the 50 kg final but was disqualified on the morning of the gold medal bout for weighing 100 grams too much. She retired, joined the Congress and won the Julana seat in the Haryana assembly election weeks later. Her affidavit declared assets of ₹3.67 crore and liabilities of ₹32.9 lakh.

What she declared

The Economic Times reported that her affidavit listed three cars, including luxury models, and a plot in Sonipat worth about ₹2 crore, along with a loan she was still repaying. India Today also noted her three high-end cars when it compared the wealth of Haryana's leading candidates.

Her declared net worth is small next to cricketers', which reflects how wrestling pays in India: prize money, government cash awards for medals and a handful of sponsorships, rather than league salaries and big endorsement deals.

About this figure

Every candidate for an Indian election has to file a sworn affidavit (Form 26) listing everything she and her household own and owe. In her 2024 Haryana election affidavit, Vinesh Phogat declared total assets of ₹3,67,39,400 and liabilities of ₹32,94,401. We subtract one from the other to get the declared net worth of about ₹3.3 crore, about $0.35 million at the October 23, 2026 exchange rate. The affidavit figures are transcribed by the Association for Democratic Reforms on MyNeta and were reported by national newspapers at the time.

Keep in mind what this number is. Assets in an affidavit are listed at the values the candidate states, and property is often entered well below what it would sell for today. It is an official declaration, not a journalist's estimate of her wealth, and it only covers what was owned on the day it was filed.
