Maharaja Padmanabh Singh, the 303rd descendant of Jaipur's royal line, manages an estimated Rs 20,000 crore in assets, primarily real estate. After studying in Rome, he is creatively repurposing ancestral properties. The City Palace, a central holding, now houses a museum and private residences, with its Gudliya Suite famously listed on Airbnb. This initiative supports the Princess Diya Kumari Foundation.
Other family properties include the luxury Rambagh Palace hotel and the boutique Rajmahal Palace. Several legal disputes over properties like Jai Mahal have been resolved through mediation. Padmanabh Singh also leverages his international profile as a polo player and brand ambassador to enhance global branding for his family's ventures.
The royal family continues to navigate complex legal challenges. In early 2026, they won a significant case regarding Civil Lines bungalows against the state government. They are also contesting a claim for the Old Town Hall, asserting its status as private property. These efforts underscore the ongoing work to preserve their substantial legacy and wealth.
