The former India captain, Virat Kohli, who is among the most followed athletes worldwide on Instagram, stands out from the rest of the list.
It wouldn’t be incorrect to refer to Kohli as the face of Indian cricket with his 253 million followers, 224 million more than Rohit Sharma, the current captain of India. With a remarkable net worth of 1050 crores, Kohli is now one of the “world’s highest-earning athletes,” according to the information provided by StockGro, a trading and investing firm headquartered in Bengaluru. Before specifically stating his cricket income, social media earnings, personal assets, and other business initiatives, the corporation mentioned Forbes, DNA, MPL, Startuptalky, and other sources as their references.
Due to his placement in the “A+” category, Kohli has a sizable 7 crore rupee contract with the BCCI. If we examine his match fees, Kohli earns $15 lakh for each Test appearance, $6 lakh for each ODI, and $3 lakh for a single T20 encounter. In the Indian Premier League, Kohli represents the Royal Challengers Bangalore and receives an annual salary of 15 crores from the team. In addition to owning numerous businesses, restaurants, and start-ups, Kohli has invested in several of them, including Blue Tribe, Universal Sportsbiz, MPL, and Sports Convo, among others. He is associated with more than 18 brands and reputedly commands the highest fee of any star in the Bollywood and sports industries—between 7.50 and 10 crore rupees—for the shooting of each campaign. This brings him close to $175 crore in brand endorsement fees.
Kohli also charges 8.9 crores and 2.5 crores, respectively, for each post on Instagram and Twitter. Kohli has two homes, one in Mumbai valued at 34 crores and the other in Gurgaon at 80 crores. When we examine his personal possessions, excluding his pricey watches and vehicles, along with co-owning an Indian Super League side, FC Goa, a tennis team, and a professional wrestling team, in addition to his cricket revenues, he also owns these other businesses.
