Saroo Brierley is the author of the autobiographical book, A Long Way Home which was adapted into the movie Lion portraying a young man’s journey to find his biological family after being separated for 25 years.
Young Saroo was separated from his mother and siblings while begging at the train station for food with his older brother, who died a tragic death leaving Saroo lost, resulting in him being adopted overseas.
The young Indian boy was adopted into the Brierley family in Australia and was provided a loving and nurturing childhood, but the boy never stopped hoping to find his family in India and finally was reunited with his family after 25 long years of searching and yearning.
Let us learn more about the person behind this inspiring story and his life now with his wife and his brothers, along with his net worth now.
Saroo Brierley Wife
Saroo has a partner named Lisa Williams, but the author has not yet clarified if the lady is his wife or not. Fans assume that the character played by Rooney Mara, Lucy, in the movie Lion is the person the Australian Indian is currently dating.
Having his whole childhood exposed in the media with his book that moved people around the globe, the businessman is now trying to keep his personal life out of the public’s eye.
According to his book, Lisa Williams played a major role in helping the young adopted Indian child reunite with his family back in India. With a stronger internet connection, the young lady helped Saroo with his search for his family in India.
It was her kind, helpful nature that attracted the author to her, and now that Brierley has united with his biological family in India, Saroo is happy with his two families and his partner.
Saroo Brierley’s Brother
Saroo Brierley’s brother took him to a train station begging for food due to their poor living conditions when he got separated and lost, ending up in an orphanage.
His biological brother, Guddu, died a tragic death at the train station after being hit by an ongoing train that night he was separated from him. Saroo, originally named Sheru, which means lion in India, has another biological brother in India named, Kallu.
Kallu is a few years older than Saroo and is now a factory manager in Burhanpur, India. After losing Saroo and Guddu, their mother was able to afford to send Saroo’s siblings to school, resulting in them having a proper career now.
The Australian Indian businessman also has an adoptive brother who the Brierley adopted from India named Mantosh. Mantosh Brierley was another child with his own emotional baggage from the orphanage in India and was raised by the Brierleys with love and care.
Mantosh is not very active on social media, so there is not much information on the younger brother. However, the family seems to be close to each other, and his adoptive mother posted pictures of her grandchild, so it seems he is married with children.
What Is Saroo Brierley’s Net Worth In 2022?
According to The Personage, Saroo Brierley’s net worth is 72 crore INR which estimates at around $9 million. The young author is taking care of his adoptive parents’ family business, Brierley Hose and Handling.
The business was started by the Brierleys in 1986, and now Saroo is a part of the family business growing it to a bigger business associated with the Tasmanian Antarctic Sector.
Brierley is constantly working for the social welfare by sponsoring the Lauderdale Yacht Club’s new rescue boat along with donating and working with the Indian Society for Sponsorship and Adoption.
A child who got lost begging for food and money in train stations has now bought a house for his mother in India and built himself into a fine young businessman that both his biological and adoptive parents are proud of.
