How rich are Nepal’s leaders?
Nepal’s cabinet made their assets public. Here each leader’s self-declared wealth sits next to ordinary Nepali life: the poverty line, average income, and the price of gold. Enter your own income and compare for yourself.

The gap, in context
We do not hand down a verdict. We put the numbers side by side. Each leader’s promise sits next to their wealth above; the weighing is the voter’s job.
At least Rs 83.2 crore
The cabinet’s combined declared wealth
= 4,196 years of an average income. Only 3 priced their house and land, so the real figure is higher.
Rs 1.8 crore
The median minister’s declared wealth
An average earner would need 90 years to match it
~1,500 years

Questions to sit with
- Does the declared income source explain this scale of wealth? Check the career history above.
- What concrete, published plan does the leader you voted for have to raise incomes like yours?
- Wealth itself is not wrong, but who are the policies being written for? Transparency is the tool for checking exactly that.
Method & fairness
- Every figure is self-declared by the office-holder, and each carries a source.
- Where a figure is not public we write “Not disclosed”. We never estimate.
- Gold is valued in rupees at the market rate on the day the details were released (12 April 2026). Holding wealth is not wrong. This is for transparency, not accusation.
