Beyond the trophy, the season proved financially rewarding for Divya Ganesh. Reports suggest she was paid over ₹14,000 per day, amounting to roughly ₹1 lakh per week. Entering the house after the fourth week and staying for nearly 11 weeks, her earnings from participation are estimated at ₹11 lakh. Combined with the ₹50 lakh prize money, Divya’s total earnings from Bigg Boss Tamil 9 are reported to be around ₹65 lakh.
