Maharaja Padmanabh Singh, who ascended as the ceremonial king of Jaipur at the tender age of 12, has grown into one of India’s most prominent young royals. Now 26, the dashing polo player and global icon commands a personal fortune estimated at a staggering ₹20,000 crore, making him one of the wealthiest royals in the country.
Born into the illustrious lineage of the Jaipur royal family, Padmanabh Singh was adopted as heir by his grandfather, the late Maharaja Sawai Bhawani Singh, the last officially recognized Maharaja of Jaipur. Although India abolished royal titles in 1971, the family’s influence and legacy remain deeply respected, both in India and abroad.
Over the years, Maharaja Padmanabh has skillfully balanced royal responsibilities with modern ambition. An accomplished polo player, he has represented India internationally and played for prestigious teams across the world. Beyond sports, he has modeled for top fashion houses, including Giorgio Armani, and has been featured in global magazines such as Vogue and GQ.
His vast fortune stems from ancestral assets, including the iconic City Palace of Jaipur (part of which functions as his residence), luxury heritage hotels like the Rajmahal Palace, and valuable properties and trusts held across India and abroad.
Known for his charismatic presence and commitment to preserving Rajasthani heritage, Padmanabh Singh continues to inspire a new generation of royals by blending tradition with a contemporary global outlook.
