According to various media reports, Mistry owned an 18.4% stake in Tata Sons, through his company, Cyrus Investments Pvt. Ltd. The latest reports suggest that his net worth was approximately $10 billion. 

Cyrus Mistry was lauded as the first non-Indian and just the second non-Tata to run the Tata Group in most of the Indian news media, but in reality, he was deeply ingrained in Mumbai society and had strong marriage ties to the Tatas. He had an Irish passport thanks to his mother, an Irish citizen of Indian descent whose sister was married to Pallonji Mistry's cousin and whose brother was an Indian shipping mogul.
