Elections and campaigns briefing: Imran Khan's life before Jail: Inside his $750 Million property empire

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has long drawn intense public curiosity, shifting from his celebrated days on the cricket field to the high stakes environment of national politics. Known for leading an opulent lifestyle, the former cricket star accumulated significant wealth throughout his career, positioning himself among the richest public figures in the country. His vast financial portfolio spans more than a dozen properties, extensive business investments, and considerable agricultural land holdings.

His total net worth is estimated at $50 million, which is around 410 crore rupees, according to CA Knowledge.

However, his political and personal trajectory shifted dramatically following legal troubles. Financial filings underscore his economic standing, with tax documents showing he paid over 15 million rupees in taxes for the financial year ending in June 2023. Earlier disclosures put his declared assets at 185.68 million rupees, climbing significantly in subsequent filings. An anti-corruption court sentenced Imran Khan to 14 years in prison, while his wife, Bushra Bibi, received a seven year sentence. Delivered by Judge Nasir Javed Rana after multiple delays, the ruling also included financial penalties, fining Imran Khan 1 million Pakistani rupees and Bushra Bibi 500,000 rupees.

Days later, Wajahat walked back his statement via a YouTube video, clarifying that the information represented personal assessments and fears rather than confirmed intelligence or verified facts. The former Prime Minister’s death rumours in Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail has frequently sparked fierce speculation regarding his safety and well-being. Anxiety spiked following an unverified claim by US-based, Emmy-nominated Pakistani journalist Wajahat Saeed Khan, who stated that three senior military sources believed Imran might have died in jail. This report surfaced while family members and colleagues from his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party protested being denied access to visit him.
