He has not mentioned both his sons as dependents on him; hence their assets and liabilities are not reflected in the affidavit.
His elder son Aaditya Thackeray is his cabinet colleague and holds the portfolio of environment.
The Thackeray family has movable assets of Rs 61,89,57,443 and Rs 81,37,17,320 worth of immovable assets, as per the affidavit.
