Big salary, elite roots — So why does Zohran Mamdani declare just Rs 2 Lakh in net worth?
Despite his upbringing among film royalty, red-carpet premieres, and elite private schools, New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani claims to have less than 1.66 lakh ($2,000) to his name. The 33-year-old Democratic Socialist assemblyman, who recently announced his bid for mayor, made the disclosure in state ethics filings reviewed by the New York Post. This, despite pulling in a 1.09 crore ($131,000) taxpayer-funded salary and being the only child of internationally acclaimed filmmaker Mira Nair and Columbia University professor Mahmood Mamdani. While Mamdani has long embraced his image as a champion of the working class, even calling himself a 'nepo baby' in interviews, the gap between his declared finances and privileged background has sparked new questions ahead of his mayoral run. According to the Post, Mamdani reported no US-based property, investments, or significant savings but only a retirement fund with less than $2,000 from a 2019 nonprofit job and a sum of up to 4.15 lakh ($5,000) in music royalties from his past life as a rapper, 'Mr. Cardamom.' His only significant asset: four acres of land in Uganda, valued between 1.25 crore to 2.08 crore ($150,000 and $250,000), acquired roughly a decade ago. As per critics, the disclosures don't add up. 'More drama from a guy who grew up with three silver spoons in his mouth,' political strategist Hank Sheinkopf told the Post. 'If anybody believes Mamdani is a poor person, they need to see a psychiatrist.' The son of two global intellectuals, Mamdani grew up in a Columbia University-owned apartment overlooking Riverside Drive, an Ivy League-subsidised property where his father, a tenured professor, continues to live. His mother, Mira Nair, is best known for directing Monsoon Wedding and Disney's Queen of Katwe. The family's former Chelsea condo sold for $1.45 million in 2019, the Post reported. As a child, Mamdani attended the elite Bank Street School, where tuition now exceeds 55 lakh per year ($66,000). He later walked red carpets with his parents and contributed music to his mother's films, including a soundtrack slot on Queen of Katwe. Still, since entering politics, Mamdani has worked hard to distance himself from his privileged roots. He now lives in a rent-stabilised Queens apartment and has leaned into grassroots activism, championing causes like tenant protections, police abolition, and public power. But some say he's blurring the line between authenticity and performance. 'Everything about him feels curated — even the 'eating with hands' video felt like an act,' said Renu Mukherjee of the Manhattan Institute, referring to a resurfaced video where Mamdani awkwardly tries to eat with his hands for the camera. 'He looks like a perpetual theatre kid pretending to be 'Third World.'' His office declined to comment on the Post report or clarify whether he holds any additional assets via family trusts or accounts outside the US Notably, New York's ethics forms don't require disclosure of personal bank accounts or non-US financial holdings, a gap some watchdogs say could allow candidates to obscure wealth. Sheinkopf was blunt: 'This guy's no regular New Yorker. He's about as close to the average person as Nelson Rockefeller was.'

Jennifer Lopez introduces 5 new songs; insider claims 'Wreckage of You' was inspired by Ben Affleck
Jennifer Lopez , the 'Diva' of Hollywood, has aligned all her creative forces even while she is busy. The 55-year-old star has had her heart broken by Ben Affleck – twice in her life, and she made sure to use all her emotions to create a work of art. A JLo party with brand new songs Recently, Lopez invited 30 Los Angeles-based fans for a top-secret listening party for brand new songs, which she would debut on the upcoming international tour. 'Outreach to fans started on Tuesday, but it was all kept a surprise as to what was happening until they were in the room with Jennifer,' the insider shared. The singer played 'Up All Night,' 'Regular,' 'Free,' 'Save Me Tonight,' and 'Birthday,' and one ballad, 'Wreckage of You,' in front of the attendees. 'Wreckage of You' According to US Weekly, the attendee, Edgardo Luis Rivera, stated that the pop ballad 'Wreckage of You' was co-written by Lopez and recorded two weeks ago. 'She said she was lying in bed after a long day of tour rehearsals when the idea of the song came to her. She mentioned how last year was a very difficult time for her, both personally and professionally,' Rivera shared. 'She had to cancel her tour and really focus on herself. Fast-forward to one year later, and she feels better and stronger than ever, so she wanted to write a song about coming out of a bad situation much stronger,' the partygoer said. Additionally, Rivera mentioned that Lopez kept thinking of the word 'wreck' because it means destruction, but she wasn't destroyed by the split-up. In fact, the lyrics are 'I'm stronger after the wreckage of you.' Another attendee said that 'Wreckage of You' is a powerful song that talks about walking away from a relationship, only to be stronger at the end. They added that the party was more than just the songs, and JLo gave them tickets to their shows, swag bags with t-shirts, JLo beauty products, and signed posters.
