Forbes has released the list of the world’s richest cricketers and it is not surprising that Mahendra Singh Dhoni, India’s captain, is ruling the roost.
Add the bonanza of the IPL to the endorsements, apart from the match fees, and it is no wonder the wealth at the disposal of the cricketers over the past year.
Dhoni (India) - USD 10 Million
Sachin Tendulkar(India)- USD 8 Million
Yuvraj Singh (India) - USD 5.5 Million
Rahul Dravid (India) - USD 5 Million
Andrew Flintoff (England) - USD 4 Million
Sourav Ganguly (India)- USD 3.5 Million
Ricky Ponting (Australia) - USD 3.5 Million (tied with Ganguly for sixth position)
Brett Lee (Australia) - USD 3 Million
Kevin Pietersen (England) - USD 3 Million (tied with Lee for eighth position)
Michael Clarke (Australia) - USD 2.5 Million
Interestingly the tenth position is occupied by Clarke who did not play in the IPL!
