Sports have become an inevitable part of the world’s community. They are not limited by professional tournaments and matches. Modern sports are several things including media coverage, fame, ad campaigns, and million-dollar incomes. For this reason, famous sportsmen have become new celebrities alongside actors and singers. Find out the juicy details about the lifestyle of the top three cricket players.
1. Virat Kohli
There is no surprise that when it comes to a luxurious lifestyle, Virat Kohli is the first cricketer that comes to mind. Cricket platforms, like Stumped.App, consider Kohli to be not only one of the best batsmen in the world but also one of the richest cricketers. In 2018, he was named the richest sportsperson in India. His incomes were higher compared to such titans of cricket as Sachin Tendulkar and Mahendra Dhoni.
Moreover, it was reported by Forbes that the Indian cricket team captain was number two on the overall list with a cumulative income of Rs.288.09 Crore. This number was lower a year ago, 100 Crore, but the sportsman had a very successful year.
As for the lifestyle of Virat Kohli, he prefers to live a luxurious life. He owns multiple mansions in all big Indian cities. He spends most of this time with his family in houses in Mumbai and Deli. Virat stated several times that he has a passion for sports cars. He owns more than 15 automobiles, and his favorite brand is Audi.
Despite having a luxurious lifestyle, he gives back to his community. He is a member of several big charity funds, as well as the head of his own charity organization that helps orphans.
2. Sachin Tendulkar
Another top cricketer that lives his best life is Sachin Tendulkar. Being the cricket legend that will be remembered as one of the best players of all time, there is no surprise that he is one of the wealthiest cricketers.
His net worth is estimated at around 160 million dollars. His annual income is 14 million, 87.1 Crore. The number is lower compared to other cricket stars because he is already 44 years old and has already retired as an international player.
He is not from a rich family and used to live in a small apartment for 28 years. However, now he owns several luxurious mansions in India. For example, his house in Mumbai is worth 12 million dollars. He also owns a villa in Kerala and several luxurious apartments in Dehli.
Like many other Indian sportsmen, he enjoys collecting sports cars. His favorite brand is BMW. His BMW i8 has a price tag of 300,000 dollars. Tendulkar owns around 10 luxurious sports cars. He also has a collection of watches that include such brands as Cartier and Rolex.
Sachin also spends millions on charity. He sponsors the education of 200 underprivileged children. He also led a campaign to raise awareness of cancer.
3. MS Dhoni
The last cricketer on our list that managed to build his dream life by working hard and staying focused is MS Dhoni. Being 38 years old, his net worth is estimated at 111 million dollars. In 2015, Dhoni was the 23rd in the list of the top 100 highest-paid athletes in the world with the estimated earnings of 31 million dollars.
Although he did not make the list in 2017, his net worth is still very high. It is because MS Dhoni is not only a successful cricket player, he is also a businessman. He is a co-owner of several sports franchises including the Chennaiyin Football Club.
Another source of income for Dhoni is ad contracts. He was the ambassador for such international brands as Pepsi, Reebok, Aircel, and many others. He has 20 endorsements now.
His huge incomes allow Dhoni to have a luxurious lifestyle. He owns more than 15 sports cars including Ferrari, Jaguar, and the newest models of BMW. He also has a luxurious mansion in India, Ranchi.
Many people criticize Dhoni for not doing any charity work. However, it is not true. He has several charity funds under his leadership; he simply does not advertise it. He also sold his World Cup bat and donated all the money to poor children.
In this perspective, all three cricketer players on our list always remember to give back to their community despite having luxurious lifestyles. All of them show a great example for the younger generation of cricketers.
