Businessman Raj Kundra, husband of Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty, is grappling with significant legal challenges in 2024, with investigations by Enforcement Directorate (ED) into his alleged roles in a pornography distribution racket and GainBitcoin Ponzi scheme. These controversies have severely impacted his business ventures and net worth.
Once valued at over ₹400 crore, Kundra’s wealth has seen a steep decline due to ongoing investigations. ED has seized assets worth ₹97.79 crore, including a Mumbai flat registered under Shilpa Shetty’s name and a Pune bungalow. Allegations of receiving 285 bitcoins (valued at ₹150 crore) as part of GainBitcoin scheme further complicate his financial standing.
