India Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni 5th Most Valuable Athlete: Forbes

[BeautifulGame]

Indian tax laws have many loopholes. Someone earning 10 million units need not necessarily have to pay 3-4 millions in taxes. Despite being such a pathetic performer and hated by billions' date= How else can you explain Dhoni's earnings? :fishing:

ICF doesnt have billion members lol

Yeah pay millions of rupees in taxes for Forbes publicity Awesome logic though :cantstop:

Are you falling for that ... like seriously?!

[tothepoint]

Billions?

Yes. Any sane mind would hate Dhoni and if of an average, 1% people are like velu who is delusional and in urgent need of psychiatric care, that would still be more than 6 billions people. And mind you I am not considering pets whose owners gets mighty upset everytime Dhoni wins test matches.

:giggle: Cant trust Indian media really. They copy-paste from anywhere without verifying. But sorting it with their endorsement earnings would generate roughly similar results.

They are sorted quite correctly, assuming the data. The Top 5 I mentioned are on "Pay". I used other parameters like Salary Winning and Endorsements. Dhoni doesn't show up in the Top 5.

Not able to find that but as a brand he is ranked 7 here...the one i saw had a year on year kind of analysis,not able to find that but found this what you are seeing is individual networth where he is 23 I think http://www.forbes.com/pictures/mlm45eflmk/6-kobe-bryant-2/

Oh I get it now he is ranked 7 but technically 5 because there is a tie between Kobe,Lebron and Beckham...Missed that out :facepalm:

What hate? I just posted the link for Dexter....I was just wondering why the news says 5 while it says 7 there? It will make me look like an idiot of hating on a millionaire for being ranked 2 spots below in a forbes list :haha: Yeah it's another debate if you talk about if he is deserving or not...No hate there either just a natural debate
