Zohran Mamdani, an Indian-origin politician, secured a victory in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary, is facing criticism with several highlighting his elite education and family wealth.

The family background of Mamdani has also drawn attention, and Mamdani has been referred to as a “nepo baby." Mira Nair, a celebrated Indian-American filmmaker, is Mamdani’s mother, and his father is a prominent writer and Columbia University professor.

People are also talking about his net worth on X, estimating it to be between USD 2 million and USD 10 million.

Critics argue that Mamdani’s personal wealth clashes with his social stance. His mother, renowned director Mira Nair, owned a luxury Manhattan loft for over a decade, now estimated at USD 1.9 million. Mamdani also holds a 4-acre property in Uganda, valued between USD 150,000 and USD 250,000, as per his 2024 ethics filing—raising questions about the consistency of his socialist image.
