IPL 2025: Kolkata Knight Riders' net worth and revenue sources - Explained

Kolkata Knight Riders stand as one of the six franchises to have played in the Indian Premier League (IPL) ever since the marquee league was inaugurated in 2008. KKR have won three titles to date — in 2012, 2014, and 2024. Over the years, they have marked significant gains in their financial standing and income streams.

The home ground of KKR is the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata. The venue is operated by the Cricket Association of Bengal and has a seating capacity of 68,000. Their fanbase has been on a steady rise over time, and their success in the tournament so far has enabled them to attract significant attention from all corners of the globe.

KKR is owned by Knight Riders Sports Private Limited. Shah Rukh Khan owns 55% of the franchise, while Jay Mehta and Juhi Chawla's Mehta Group owns the remaining 45%. The ownership groups of Red Chillies Entertainment and the Mehta Group have infused a great deal of passion and identity into the team.

As of March 2025, KKR possess a net worth of $109 million, which translates to about INR 943 crore. The overall standing of KKR as a brand has also been boosted by the unwavering efforts of their CEO and Managing Director, Venky Mysore.
