Virat Kohli’s Net Worth in 2025: A Comprehensive Breakdown

As of 2025, Indi­an crick­eter Virat Kohli has solid­i­fied his sta­tus not only as one of the great­est mod­ern-day bats­men but also as one of the rich­est ath­letes in the world. Accord­ing to indus­try esti­mates, Kohli’s net worth in 2025 stands at approx­i­mate­ly ₹1,050 crore (USD 126 mil­lion), reflect­ing a steady rise fueled by his mul­ti­fac­eted career in sports, brand endorse­ments, and busi­ness ven­tures.

Crick­et Earn­ings

While Kohli stepped down from cap­tain­cy roles in recent years, he remains cen­tral­ly con­tract­ed with the Board of Con­trol for Crick­et in India (BCCI) and con­tin­ues to play selec­tive for­mats. In 2025, he holds an A+ grade BCCI con­tract, earn­ing an annu­al salary of ₹7 crore, in addi­tion to match fees.

Kohli’s long-stand­ing asso­ci­a­tion with the Roy­al Chal­lengers Ban­ga­lore (RCB) in the Indi­an Pre­mier League (IPL) also con­tributes sig­nif­i­cant­ly to his wealth. Despite a reduced on-field pres­ence, he earns an esti­mat­ed ₹15–17 crore per IPL sea­son due to his loy­al­ty and brand val­ue.

Brand Endorse­ments and Spon­sor­ships

Tooth­si

He report­ed­ly charges ₹8–₹10 crore per endorse­ment deal, gen­er­at­ing over ₹200 crore annu­al­ly from brand part­ner­ships. Unlike many ath­letes, Kohli has main­tained a clean, pro­fes­sion­al image, which con­tin­ues to attract pre­mi­um lifestyle and sports brands.

Busi­ness Ven­tures and Invest­ments

Kohli has diver­si­fied his income by invest­ing in sev­er­al busi­ness ver­ti­cals:

WROGN – A youth fash­ion brand co-found­ed under Uni­ver­sal Sports­biz.

One8 by Puma – A col­lab­o­ra­tive ath­leisure line with Puma India.
