Local government, rural development, industries, and housing adviser Adilur Rahman Khan reported his assets more than doubling, attributing the increase to inherited residences and land. His wife, Dr Saira Rahman Khan, recorded a 12 percent rise.

Culture adviser Mostofa Sarwar Farooki’s wife, Nusrat Imrose Tisha, saw her assets jump from Tk 1.4 crore to nearly Tk 3 crore.
According to the wealth disclosure, Farooki’s financial assets increased slightly between 2024 and 2025, rising from Tk 78.8 lakh to Tk 85.5 lakh.
However, his non‑financial assets fell sharply, dropping from Tk 1.48 crore to Tk 1.29 crore. As a result, his total assets declined overall, moving from Tk 2.26 crore in 2024 to Tk 2.15 crore in 2025.
Bashir remains the wealthiest member of the cabinet, followed by planning adviser Dr Wahiduddin Mahmud and Dr Yunus. Dr Wahiduddin said his increase was due to a developer contract.
