B.V. Acharya is a senior advocate at Karnataka High court. He is the son of Ramachandra Acharya, a Shivalli Madhva Brahmin, and native of the Udupi district. He has been the advocate general of the Karnataka government several times. He shot to prominence nationally in the Disproportionate Assets case against Jayalalithaa, where he pursued the case as a special public prosecutor and special counsel taking to its logical end despite hardship and threats. He was selected as one of the top ten lawyers of India by the Bar Council of India in 2017 A.D
B.V. who brought in $3 million and $5 million Networth B.V. collected most of his earnings from his Yeezy sneakers. While he had exaggerated over the years about the size of his business, the money he pulled in from his profession was real–enough to rank as one of the biggest celebrity cashouts of all time. his Basic income source is mostly from being a successful lawyer.
He has a whopping net worth of $5 to $10 million.
Regarded for his integrity and rectitude, Acharya is probably the only lawyer in the country who has been appointed Advocate general by governments of opposite hues. Says Acharya, “for me luckily it was merit and not political influence that was important. All thorugh my career, merit saw me through.” He cites the time when the Virendra Patil-led Congress Government appointed him AG even though his proximity to the leader of the opposition, Ramakrishna Hegde, was well known. “The Fourth Estate, too, has lent him their support time and again,” says the esteemed lawyer leafing through his well-maintained collection of press clippings.
He strongly believes that “as the Advocate General, more than defending the Government in litigation before courts,” his “main challenge is to give proper advice to the State Government so that it does not make mistakes and act contrary to law.”
On the personal level, too, he is a well-disciplined man. Having married Laxmi in 1960, he has three children. While their son, Belpu Laxminarayan, and his daughter, Pushpalata, are lawyers, his second son, Subramanya, is on the radio. It was Acharya who enthused his children to take up law. They both practice with him.
Not much of a sports enthusiast, he says that walking is the only exercise he indulges in. although he loves music, his likes are limited to the softer variety of classical or film music from the olden days. “These days I am enjoying reading biographies of eminent lawyers. Except law, reading and music, I have no other interest,” is what B.V. Acharya says about his likes. A simple man with simple but profound likes
