How did Virat Kohli build his net worth?
Indians love their cricket, and Virat Kohli is one of the most beloved cricketers in India. As one of the highest-paid cricketers in his country, he is highly versatile and plays well in all positions. However, Kohli is a natural-born batsman and made his Test debut in 2011. Over ten years, he has accumulated more than 12,000 runs in One Day Internationals, scored more than 8,000 runs in Test matches, and is one of the highest scorers in the T20 format.
Captain of the Indian cricket team for seven years, it was a sad day for cricket when in 2021, he resigned from all the game's formats. It is an incredible accolade to say that only Sachin Tendulkar has beaten Kohli in the tally of centuries.
This talented batsman has won dozens of awards, including the International Cricket Council ODI Player of the Year in 2012 and 2017.
As Kohli kept making the runs, he kept the money pouring into his bank account, earning more than $2 million per season between 2018 and 2022 — the highest amount ever paid to a player in the T20 cricket format.
Being played big bucks to run between a pair of wickets is not his only income; it is estimated that he adds to his coffers to the tune of $1 million a year through endorsements for Puma, Audi, Pepsi, and Tissot, to name a few. In addition, he has a staggering number of Instagram followers — more than 200 million. He can boast that he is the only Asian on Instagram's list of the top ten earners. That alone is a moneyspinner.
Kohli is a keen investor and is known for favoring new-age start-ups. He also owns a restaurant.
How has Virat Kohli spent his wealth?
Virat Kohli owns several properties. He lives in two of them — one in Dehli and another in Mumbai. He bought an 8-acre plot of land following his marriage to his longtime girlfriend, Anushka.
The cricket all-rounder enjoys his cars and has several, including a Mercedes, a BMW, a Range Rover, and an Audi.
