The doting son cried, hugging his mother’s feet before lighting the funeral pyre with tears in his eyes.

Sharda Sinha’s net worth: How much wealth Bihar’s Kokila has left for her children, Vandana and Anshuman Sinha

After Sharda Sinha's heartbreaking demise, the media spotlight shifted to her children, Vandana and Anshuman Sinha, who are going to carry on her legacy. Just like any parent in the world, Sharda has also left a lot of wealth for her children. According to a report in Aaj Tak, Sharda Sinha’s net worth is between Rs. 35 and Rs. 42 crore.

In many people’s eyes, her mark in India’s folk music is quite small. From being considered the official voice of one of India’s most celebrated and oldest festivals, Chhath Puja, to winning Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan, it’s quite painful for some people to know that she only managed to make Rs. 42 crores in her illustrious career.
