Estimate

Current Assessment

Murthy's clearest personal asset is his disclosed Infosys stake: 15.1 million shares, or 0.36% of the company, listed in Infosys' FY2024-25 annual report. At early July 2026 market prices, that stake was worth roughly $180 million. He also receives substantial Infosys dividends, about Rs 65 crore for FY2025. The larger uncertainty is Catamaran, the Murthy family office, which has been reported to manage more than $1 billion. Public sources do not show how that wealth is divided among Murthy and family members, so the estimate uses a broad range rather than a single precise figure.

Key caveats

The base estimate is not a Forbes-style family net worth unless stated otherwise.
Children's Infosys holdings are excluded from Murthy's personal net worth.
Catamaran is material but its ownership split is not public.
The estimate is sensitive to Infosys' share price and currency conversion.

Evidence gaps

No public personal balance sheet was found.
No definitive Catamaran beneficial ownership split was found.
No current direct Forbes or Bloomberg profile was accessible in this run.

Confidence

Low confidence

55/100

Important source, ownership, or liability gaps materially limit the estimate reliability.

Key Evidence Gaps

Catamaran beneficial ownership, partner capital, or family allocation records.
Latest Infosys promoter shareholding after March 31, 2025.
Direct current Forbes or Bloomberg billionaire profile and methodology.
Personal liabilities, pledged shares, tax obligations, and debt.
Personal real estate and other private assets.

Public Caveats

Low confidence: direct Infosys holdings are well documented, but most wealth above that depends on uncertain family-office attribution.
Murthy's disclosed personal Infosys stake was 15,145,638 shares as of March 31, 2025; later promoter-shareholding changes were not verified in the supplied artifacts.
Catamaran is reported as a family office managing more than $1 billion, but the supplied evidence does not disclose Narayana Murthy's personal beneficial ownership.
Children's Infosys holdings are excluded from the personal estimate because they are separately disclosed holdings.

Uncertainty Drivers

Catamaran's beneficial ownership and personal allocation are not public.
External Forbes estimate could not be directly accessed and appears stale versus July 2026 market conditions.
Murthy's children hold large Infosys stakes that should not be treated as his personal property without evidence.
No public personal balance sheet, real-estate register review or liability/pledge check was found in this run.
Currency conversion and stock price are approximate around the access date.
