If some of you are in oblivion it doesn't mean certain facts don't exist. Following information is available on social media.
It is difficult to determine the exact net worth of Indian generals. However, several generals are reported to be among the richest in India based on available information:
• General J.J. Singh (Retired): Estimated net worth of over $2.5 billion USD. General Singh served as the Chief of Army Staff from 2006 to 2010. After retirement, he has earned money through consulting roles, work with defense companies, sponsorships and endorsements.
• General Shankar Roychowdhury (Retired): Reports indicate a net worth of at least $1.8 billion USD. General Roychowdhury served as the Vice Chief of Army Staff from 2003 to 2006. His income comes from land holdings, business interests, investments and post-retirement positions on company boards.
• General Deepak Kapoor (Retired): Estimated net worth of $1.5-2 billion USD. General Kapoor served as the Chief of Army Staff from 2010 to 2014. Like other generals, he has earned significantly post-retirement through advisory work, sponsorships, director roles, contracts, etc. His wealth comes from a mix of inheritance, salary, bonuses, and business ventures.
• General Bikram Singh (Retired): Net worth possibly over $1.2 billion USD. General Singh served as the Chief of Army Staff from 2012 to 2014. After retirement, he joined the board of Indian Oil Corporation and earned money through that role along with consulting work for defense companies and some contractor sponsorships.
• General S.K. Sinha (Retired): Estimated net worth of at least $750 million USD. General Sinha served as the Vice Chief of Army Staff from 2003 to 2005. His wealth comes from land ownership, investments, company director roles, plus earnings from his sons who are also successful Indian Army Generals. Retirement has allowed him to focus more on family business interests and expansion.
While these figures are difficult to verify without public disclosure of financials, this provides a sense of some of the richest generals in India according to available media reports and estimates. In general, serving in high-ranking positions, accumulating assets over many years, shrewd business dealings, advantageous post-retirement roles, and inheriting wealth from family members have all contributed to large fortunes for some Indian generals. But there is likely significant diversity in the financial profiles of generals based on career paths, opportunities, locations, and more.
