Sheikh Hasina’s property
Sheikh Hasina Net Worth: Monday was recorded as a chapter in the history of Bangladesh politics, which shook not only Dhaka but the entire world. Former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who was once at the top of power and was called the ‘Iron Lady’ of Bangladesh, is now facing the most difficult phase of her life. In a historic verdict, the Dhaka-based International Criminal Tribunal has found him guilty of crimes against humanity and has awarded him death sentence.
This decision is not just a court order, but it is the result of the political storm that started in the country last year. The culmination of the way student movements and political turmoil had brought the strong Awami League government to its knees has now come to light. But, amidst the noise of this serious decision, there is another issue which is being raised loudly, albeit quietly, and that is, how much is Sheikh Hasina’s wealth?
How much wealth does Sheikh Hasina own?
With the death sentence, the market of discussions regarding Sheikh Hasina’s ‘Net Worth’ has become hot again. There are many questions in the minds of the public regarding his financial condition. What is the wealth of Sheikh Hasina, the most influential leader of Bangladesh?
Her official documents based on her 2022 income show that Sheikh Hasina’s net worth is approximately 4.36 crore Bangladeshi Taka. According to the affidavit, his main source of income is not any big business but farming, agriculture and fishing. Apart from this, they have invested their savings in safe places like fixed deposits and savings bonds, which earn them regular interest. Government records say that their lifestyle and means of earning are quite traditional and limited.
- Agricultural land: Sheikh Hasina has about 15 bighas of agricultural land. According to the election affidavit, the estimated value of this land is more than 6 lakh taka.
- Plot: He also owns plots (vacant land) worth more than Taka 34 lakh.
- Residential House: He owns a three-storey building whose declared value is Taka 5 lakh. However, this house is said to be quite luxurious.
- Dhaka Mansion: According to Bloomberg and other reports, he owns a luxurious mansion in Dhaka worth $3 million. Although it is in his sister’s name.
- Chittagong House: He also has a house in Chittagong, but according to reports, it is registered in his sister’s name.
- Sylhet Apartment: An apartment purchased for 1 million dollars in the year 2020 is also in Sylhet.
- London House: Bloomberg report states that Sheikh Hasina also has a house in London. However, it has been clarified that this property is not directly registered in his name.
- Singapore and Dubai: He also has some properties in countries like Singapore and Dubai.
- Luxury Car: Hasina also has a car worth 47 lakh taka, which she received as a gift.
Sheikh Hasina’s real wealth is very high
While on one hand government papers show her as the owner of a limited amount of property, on the other hand the mathematics of media reports and financial analysts indicates something else. It has been claimed in media reports that Sheikh Hasina’s actual wealth may be many times more than her declared figures. Last year, some such reports had come out in which it was claimed that Jahangir Alam, a servant working at Hasina’s house, allegedly had assets worth Rs 284 crore. He currently lives in America. In such a situation, you can guess how much wealth Haseena will have.
According to a news from Money Control, it is estimated that his total wealth in Indian currency could be around Rs 50 crore. Analysts believe that this figure could be much higher. Because he has taken many properties in someone else’s name. At present, no new official details or affidavit of Sheikh Hasina’s wealth for 2025 has been made public.
