Jahangir Siddiqui net worth in 2026
Wikipedia’s list of Pakistanis by net worth puts Jahangir Siddiqui at about $270 million. Several JS Group companies are listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, but the family’s full holdings are not published, so treat the figure as an estimate. Forbes and Bloomberg do not track him. Because the group is centred on banking and investments, its value rises and falls with the Pakistan Stock Exchange and with interest rates.
Building the JS Group
Jahangir Siddiqui began his career in 1970 and built the JS Group into one of Pakistan’s best-known financial groups. Its main businesses are:
- JS Bank: a commercial bank he chairs
- JS Investments: formerly known as ABAMCO, one of Pakistan’s oldest and largest private-sector asset management companies
- JS Global: brokerage and investment banking
Over the years the group has worked with international partners including Allianz, INVESCO, Bear Stearns and the International Finance Corporation. He has also held board positions in energy, shipping, engineering and industrial companies.
Shaping Pakistan’s capital markets
Siddiqui served as president of the Karachi Stock Exchange and helped open Pakistan’s capital markets to foreign investors. He championed the creation of the Central Depository Company, which moved share settlement from paper certificates to electronic records. He has also served on the Privatisation Commission and the Economic Advisory Board.

How the A1 Rich List estimates net worth
We use Forbes’ real-time figure where Forbes tracks a person. For everyone else we use the most widely cited published estimate, from sources such as Wikipedia’s list of Pakistanis by net worth, the Sunday Times Rich List and Pakistani business publications, and we name the source on each profile. Where reports give a range, we rank on the midpoint. Private companies are hard to value, so treat every estimate as a guide rather than an exact figure.
