Richest Sachin Tendulkar now worth $160m: Wealth X LONDON: Sachin Tendulkar's personal fortune is now worth $160 million, making him the country's wealthiest cricket player. On a day when his farewell game in domestic cricket saw the Master Blaster single-handedly guide Mumbai to a four-wicket win over Haryana in one of the most keenly-followed matches in the history of Ranji Trophy, Wealth X released data to show that Sachin's personal wealth at present is over three times that of Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, over five times that of Yuvraj Singh, around eight times that of Rahul Dravid and over 10 times that of vice-captain Virat Kohli. Wealth X - considered to have the world's largest collection of curated research on Ultra High Net Worth individuals, says that Tendulkar, who is retiring next month, bringing the curtain down on his glorious 24-year tryst with international cricket, has amassed a fortune that eclipses the combined net worth of the four other cricketers on the list, and is more than three times the net worth of the next-wealthiest player Dhoni. Wealth X, which released latest data on Wednesday to show the top five wealthiest Indian cricketers, put Tendulkar right on top at $160 mn, followed by Dhoni at $50 mn, Yuvraj Singh $30 mn, Rahul Dravid $20 mn and Kohli at $15 mn. The 40-year-old former India captain, will end his career with his final and 200th Test match against West Indies in late November. Dravid, 40, is estimated to be worth $20 million. 'Wealthiest Indian cricketers' (in $): 1. Sachin Tendulkar (age 40) 160,000,000; 2. Mahendra Singh Dhoni (32) 50,000,000; 3. Yuvraj Singh (31) 30,000,000; 4. Rahul Dravid (40) 20,000,000; 5. Virat Kohli (24) 15,000,000. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/series-tournament/sachin-tendulkar-to-hang-his-boots/countdown-to-200th-test/Richest-Sachin-Tendulkar-now-worth-160m-Wealth-X/articleshow/24954482.cms

he was earning like 1-2 million in the 90s. Indian cricket took off in terms of wealth since probably 2005.

MSD is earning big since about 2007. Thats 6 years. Sachin has been earning since 1989. 24 years.

Yeah true, but after 20yrs of being a international star and brand value representing a billion people, 150mill is a bit below average I think. around 300mill upwards would have been my guess.

Forbes was mentioning the net worth of each player, not the wealth. My bad.

Didnt Sach Signed a 300 million rupees and a 800 million rupees deal with Worldtel in 95 and 2001 ? That was such huge amount in Cricket at that time. Indian Cricket might be at its peak atm but the huge amount of money started pouring into it or for World Cricket for that matter only in the mid 90s thanks to Sachin and TV deals.
